From "CYCLING" magazine - February 26,1932
Finally ... one bicycle which I am happy to NOT see on the roads.
Siam Park is considered as the biggest theme park, as well as biggest water park in Southeast Asia, as well as the oldest water park in Thailand. Since 2007, the park owner has completed the construction of six new attractions: Vortex - the first hanging invented coaster in Thailand, Boomerang - the reverse roller coaster, Giant Drop - 75 metre free fall, Aladdin - the magic carpet ride, Siam Park Tower - 100-metre automatic observation tower, and Condor - the twister.
Siam Park City is an amusement park and water park located on Seri Thai Road and Khan Na Yao District on 300 acre. It was established in 1980. It has the biggest artificial sea in the world. Moreover, it has a spa, many sizes of swimming pool and a 7 storey water slide. This place is call to the Sea of Bangkok and its slogan is Siam Park… World of happiness enjoy unforgettable Siam park was opened 38 years ago in November 1975 by the founder Chaiwat Luangamornlert. His aim was and still is, to bring fun to Thailand and put a smile on children's faces. The park now has 2 million visitors a year from all over the world and has some of the largest rides in the region.
The park is set in 120 acres and is considered to be the largest theme and water park in Southeast Asia. The idea for the water park was to create an oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city, as although Thailand has lots of beaches there are none in Bangkok. The wave pool is now the largest in the world as certified by Guinness World Records and stretches an impressive 13,600 sq m and is the only man made beach in the city. The theme park originally started off with only a few rides, but over the years the owner has expanded and it now has over 30 different rides.
The park has recently been under complete renovation and since 2007 the park owner has completed the construction of new attractions: Vortex, which is 1 of the 2 worlds largest suspended looping roller coaster, Boomerang, Giant Drop, Aladdin, Si-AmTower, Condor, Top-spin, Mega Dance and the Log Flume. There are also four new rides due to be completed within the next year, which include Pony Express a new family roller coaster.
Siam Park is separated into three main zones, the water park ( Siam Lagoon ), the amusement park ( Siam X-treme ) and a learning park ( Siam Genius ). It also has the Pathfinder camp located inside the park. Siam Park was not the first amusement park in Thailand, the first one is Happy land at Bang-kapi then Magic Land near Central Lat Phrao, but it was closed due to the end of their land-rental contract, making Siam Park the oldest existing park in the country.
I visited Siam Park known locally as Suan Siam, on June 6th 2010. I was surprised at what I found. Many of the rides where on par with theme parks around the world. But again like Dream World. I found everything looking tired. However that said the park was a great day out. The water park in particular was pleasant and the surroundings very well laid out. But some of the food stalls need to address their hygiene. Fly’s landing on exposed food does nothing for the appetite! Not all the stalls had this problem.
Siam Water Park is the most popular zone in the park in my view, offering the perfect place to cool down and escape the busy city streets. With plenty of shaded seating, families often spend the entire day here, jumping in and out of the river that flows through the park, which also boasts the largest wave pool in the world, with small waves and shallow areas suitable for all ages, and a gentle slope to paddle in. For older people the Super Spiral is great fun, with slides weaving in and out, and great fun for anyone over the age of eight! For smaller kids there are mini slides, and for daredevils – the speed slide!
One item to consider, the park opens at 10.00 am but that is for people wanting to go directly to the Water Park, the rest of the park and rides do not open until 11.00 am. When I was visiting I found quite a few of the rides closed altogether, I guess for refurbishment.

When I said on my uploads that getting into Tilmanstone was a bugbear, how then to describe my frustration about St Anthony, as this is a church I see each time we travel up or down the Alkham valley to Folkestone.
St Anthony sits on a bluff overlooking the village and the main road, and so seems impressively tall. But up close, one finds the tower to appear short and squat.
I had driven over from Tilmanstone, I had decided to give Eythorne a miss as I really wanted to make sure I got to Alkham and the next church on the list, Acrise, before the day faded and I would lose the chance for another year.
Parking in the village is problematic, so I leave the car opposite the village hall beside the cricket pitch, which now looks like it would be perfect for a few overs. How different from the late winter, when the Drellingore was in full flood and the pitch was under a good foot of water, and houses down the hill had water bubbling up between the plants in their gardens borders.
And looking at the Drellingore itself, reveals it to be the dried up bed it always was, with just the occasional pool of still wet mud showing where once the torrent flowed.
It is quite a steep climb back to the main road and then along to the old village pub, The Marquess of Granby, now sadly rebranded as a gastropub and called simply "The Marquess".
Up beside the pub, past a pretty row of cottages and into the churchyard. My, I was puffing well, but after stopping to take a shot of the outside of the church, I walk to the porch to find both the outer and inner doors open, and the interior glowing with sunlight refracted by Victorian stained glass.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Picturesquely situated on a quiet bluff high above the main road, the simple flint exterior of Alkham church hides a remarkable surprise. From the south the building looks little different to many others in the region, but inside it immediately presents its trump card - a north aisle/chapel built in the thirteenth century which contains the finest blank wall arcading in any Kent church. This should be compared with the contemporary chancel arcading at Cooling and Woodchurch - in each designed to emphasise the importance of the (recently rebuilt) chancel. Here it served an altogether different purpose, competing with the nearby commandery of the Knights Hospitallers at Swingfield. At the west end of the nave, filling the tower arch, is a rather heavy but fine, wooden nineteenth century screen. The east window contains some fine nineteenth century glass.

ALKHAM is within the ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION of the diocese of Canterbury, and deanry of Dover.
The church, which is dedicated to St. Anthony the Martyr, is a handsome building, consisting of three isles and two chancels, having a tower steeple, with a low pointed turret on it, in which hang three bells. The north isle is shut out by boarding from the rest of the church, and made no use of at present, to which the school now kept in the chancel might be removed, and have no kind of communication with that part of the church appropriated for divine service, which would prevent that unseemly and indecent resort which it is at present subject to. In the chancel are several memorials for the Slaters, lessees of the parsonage; and on the south side, against the wall, is an antient tomb of Bethersden marble.
The church of Alkham, with the chapel of Mauregge, or Capell as it is now called, belonging to it, was given by Hamon de Crevequer to the abbot and convent of St. Radigund, together with the advowson of it, to hold in free, pure, and perpetual alms. It was appropriated to that abbey about the 43d year of king Henry III. anno 1258, and was afterwards, anno 8 Richard II. valued among the temporalities of the abbey at fourteen pounds. In which state this church and advowson remained till the dissolution of the abbey, which happened in the 27th year of king Henry VIII. when it was suppressed by the act of that year, as being under the clear yearly value of two hundred pounds, and their lands and possessions given to the king, who granted the scite of it, with the whole of its possessions, that year, to archbishop Cranmer, in exchange for other lands, who in the same year exchanged them back again with the king, being enabled so to do by an act then specially passed for that purpose; but in the deed of exchange, among other exceptions, was that of all churches and advowsons of vicarages; by virtue of which, the appropriation of the church of Alkham, together with the advowson of the vicarage, remained part of the possessions of the see of Canterbury, as they do at this time, his grace the archbishop of Canterbury being now entitled to them.
The vicarage of Alkham, with the chapel of Ferne, alias Capell, annexed to it, is valued in the king's books at eleven pounds, and the yearly tenths at Il.2s. per annum. (fn. 4) It is now of the clear yearly certified value of 53l. 9s. 6d. In 1588 here were communicants eighty; in 1640 it was valued at sixty pounds. The vicar of it is inducted into the vicarage of Alkham, with the chapel of Capell le Ferne, alias St.Mary le Merge, annexed to it. There are three acres of glebe land belonging to the vicarage.
The great tithes of Evering ward, in this parish and Swingfield ward, part of the parsonage of Alkham, are held of the archbishop for three lives, at the yearly rent of 1l. 6s. 8d. and the parsonage for twenty-one years, at the yearly rent of twelve pounds.
Smart phone and app driven robot on display and demonstration for U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Sonny Perdue, and Mrs. Mary Perdue, on tour inside the 4-H Exhibit Hall and complex, where 4-H members and youth, green shirts, talk about various projects, interactive learning areas, and craft products, at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, in Indianapolis, IN, on August 8, 2017.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue is on a five-state RV tour, featuring stops in five states: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana; titled the “Back to Our Roots” Tour, he is gathering input on the 2018 Farm Bill and increasing rural prosperity, Aug. 3-8, 2017. Along the way, Perdue will meet with farmers, ranchers, foresters, producers, students, governors, Members of Congress, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) employees, and other stakeholders. This is the first of two RV tours the secretary will undertake this summer. “The ‘Back to our Roots’ Farm Bill and rural prosperity RV listening tour will allow us to hear directly from people in agriculture across the country, as well as our consumers – they are the ones on the front lines of American agriculture and they know best what the current issues are,” Perdue said. “USDA will be intimately involved as Congress deliberates and formulates the 2018 Farm Bill. We are committed to making the resources and the research available so that Congress can make good facts-based, data-driven decisions. It’s important to look at past practices to see what has worked and what has not worked, so that we create a farm bill for the future that will be embraced by American agriculture in 2018.” For social media purposes, Secretary Perdue’s Twitter account (@SecretarySonny) will be using the hashtag #BackToOurRoots.

Seen in Stamford Street, London SE1 today are two 8gp (girl power) pedi-buses.
Each person faces inwards whilst peddling away in order for the driver to steer the "bus". I'm not quite sure what the pink hair was all about....or the blow-up doll at the back !
Music and wine was flowing, but the overtaking cyclist had had enough.
Might need to enlarge the photo in order to understand what's going on.
Driven in the Walmart TV commercial Famous Cars (2019) and as depicted in the film Jurassic Park (1993)
Designer: Universal Pictures
Builder: Cinema Vehicles
Based on: 1992 Ford Explorer XLT
On the Isle of Nublar, near Costa Rica, bioengineering company InGen has begun manufacturing dinosaurs to serve as the main attraction in their newly built theme park - Jurassic Park. Before the park can be opened to the public, Dr. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), founder of InGen, invites a team of scientists to tour the dinosaur paddocks for a safety inspection. The group embarks on a guided tour around the park in InGen's all-electric Ford Explorers which run along a track system through the park.
Macro Mondays Theme - Drive Me Wild
It drives me wild that not all screws are driven like the one on the right!
I absolutely love working with Katie! She is the consummate professional, always delivering on the concept and works tirelessly until the last click of the shutter. For this shoot I wanted the weather to be quite stormy as I was looking to create shots with a wild and free spirited feel. There were times when the weather was a little more stormy than we were hoping for, and despite being hunkered down under umbrellas, our legs getting stung by the wind driven sand, Katie just kept on smiling that trademark smile. I think she was quietly relishing the fact we were going the extra yard to get these shots!

I test drove this at Available Car in Castle Donington, Leicestershire.
If you are going to have a Volvo estate, then why not have the most nutty one available right?
The XC70 is nutty. 210mm of ground clearance, big plain plastic bumpers, M+S tyres, 4 wheel drive... even the dog guard is standard equipment (its is on gas struts so you can fold it up into the headlining when not required).
However, not is all it seems with this XC70. Its missing an important element that turns a nutty car into a nutty car that doesn't really make sense.
Excerpt from here: www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/volvo/volvo-xc70-drive-...
"On looks alone, this Volvo XC70 may seem like old news, yet it puts a whole new twist on the urban off-roader theme. Why? Because, despite the jacked-up stance, it’s actually front-wheel drive.
What’s happened to the 4x4 version? Don’t panic, it’s still on sale. The front-wheel drive XC70 has been introduced along with a front-drive XC60, both cars being cheaper and less polluting than the 4x4 variants that sired them."
So, this one isn't for us with its missing its 4 wheel drive and in basic trim (for Volvo). A more sensible choice would be the plain old V70.
The Pen EM is the first Japanese camera to have an electric driven motor drive and rewind system.
The Olympus Pen EM went on sale in 1965 with three new features: an electronic shutter, automatic film advance, and automatic rewind.
The electronic shutter allowed an exposure range from 30 sec. down to 1/500 sec. according to the brightness of the subject. Power for the shutter, film advance and rewind systems was provided by two AA batteries. While the Olympus Pen EM had a major influence on the future of electronic technology and automation in cameras, there were manufacturing problems that could not be overcome with the technology then available. Sadly, production ceased after just one year.

Astley Green colliery's No 1 shaft steam winding engine was installed in 1912 and was in use until the colliery closed in 1970. It is a four cylinder engine in twin tandem configuration, developing 3300 horsepower. It is believed to be the largest surviving colliery winding engine of its type in Europe.
The engine and engine house were saved from demolition when the colliery closed in 1970, and it has been restored by volunteers at the museum. The museum periodically runs the engine on compressed air.

Icelandic State Park is a state park located in Akra Township, Pembina County, North Dakota. Located on Lake Renwick, the park consists of 912 acres (3.69 km2) of land, and includes the Pioneer Heritage Center and the Gunlogson Homestead and Nature Preserve. The park was established to preserve evidence of the Icelandic heritage in North Dakota.
The Gunlogson Arboretum Nature Preserve is an arboretum and nature preserve which is now part of Icelandic State Park, 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Cavalier, North Dakota.
The preserve lies along both banks of the Tongue River and is dominated by mature elm and basswood. It had been in the Gunlogson family for over 80 years when it was donated to North Dakota by G. B. Gunlogson in 1980.
The preserve's woody plants include Acer negundo, Betula papyrifera, Cornus stolonifera, Corylus cornuta, Crataegus rotundifolia, Eleagnus angustifolia, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Populus tremuloides, Populus balsamifera, Prunus virginiana, Salix amygdaloides, Salix bebbiana, Tilia americana, Ulmus americana, and Ulmus pumila. About a hundred other species are also represented on the site.

Driven by Ari Vatanen and David Richards, this Ford Escort RS 1800 MKII finished second overall in the 1981 Lombard RAC Rally.
On display within the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.
175cc, chain driven single overhead camshaft
MV used the name 'Disco Volante' (Flying saucer) due to the unusual shape of the petrol tank
Amazingly advanced design for 1953. Engine castings are lightweight, with metal only where it is needed.
Multiplate clutch running in oil.
Unit construction engine/gearbox (four speed, foot change). See the rocking gear lever so that you didn't scuff your designer Italian footwear!
Tele forks and swing arm rear suspension. British bikes at this time were invariably still rigid or plunger rear suspension.
There were the usual period claims/ boasts by the manufacturer of 85 mph, 14hp and 100+mpg!
Truth is that the bike is capable of approx. 75mph with the rider flat on the tank, and it will easily top 100mpg even when ridden fairly hard.
Handling/roadholding and brakes could cope with twice the power quite easily!
These bikes were very expensive to buy, but compared with a BSA C11, Villiers powered machines etc. available in 1953, what a machine the MV must have been.
This bike was bought in 2002 and was cosmetically quite reasonable. Mechanically it was a huge disappointment, and struggled to make 50 mph!
The Italian 'racers' in the 1950's did not favour the MV sohc motor as oil feed onto the cam lobes was scarcely adequate. We designed a hollow camshaft with 'quill' end feed, and oil delivery holes on the cam flanks which cured this problem.
We worked on compression ratio, camshaft design, crankshaft balance factor, electronic ignition and overall gearing.
Next week , the bike is competing on its 5th 'Motogiro d'Italia' - a 1200mile, 5 day endurance event in Italy.
We use up to 8500rpm (6500 standard), and have designed the power characteristics to be flexible, reasonably tractable so that you could easily go shopping on it, but it still has an 'interesting' part of the power band in the 6500-8500rpm range.
Bike was re-painted in 2007. Damn pretty too!
On 'A' and 'B' class roads this is a superb and quick machine, particularly when remembering it is now nearly 60 years old!
The Ferrari Mondial (Type F108) is a mid-engined, V8, grand tourer manufactured and marketed by Ferrari between 1980 and 1993 – with styling by Pininfarina and bodywork by Carrozzeria Scaglietti.
Offered as either a 2+2 coupé or cabriolet, the Mondial has the slightly higher roofline, greater dimensions and increased weight to accommodate occasional rear seating for children or small adults.
The Mondial replaced the Ferrari 308/208 GT4 coupé and remains the last V8, rear mid-engined, 2+2 Ferrari.
The first Mondial iteration introduced as the Mondial 8 at the 1980 Geneva Auto Salon. It was the first Ferrari to depart from the company's simple 3-digit naming scheme, and some reviews found it relatively mild, compared to other Ferraris, regarding performance. It used a mid/rear-mounted Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection V8, shared with the 308 GTBi/GTSi, mounted transversely. The engine used in the 1973 Dino 308 GT4. The chassis was also based on the 308 GT4, but with a 100 mm-longer (3.9 in) wheelbase at 2,650 mm (104.3 in).
All Mondials are fitted with a V8 engine deriving from Ferrari's original 3.0 l (180 cu in) V8 powerplant released in the 1974 Ferrari (Dino) 308 GT4, which in-turn was a two-cylinder extension of the V6 engine originally deployed in the Dino 206 GT of 1968.
Mondial engines comprise a lightweight alloy V8 block with 90° bank-angle; shrink-fit cylinder liners; a five-bearing, flat-plane crankshaft with paired connecting rods on each journal; belt-driven, quad overhead camshafts (two per cylinder bank) acting directly on the valves; alloy crossflow cylinder heads; and a wet-sump lubrication system (excepting the Mondial t, which used a dry-sump system). Engine displacement started at 3.0 l (180 cu in) for the Mondial 8 and QV models, increasing to 3.2 l (200 cu in) for the Mondial 3.2, and culminating in 3.4 l (210 cu in) for the Mondial t model. The orientation of the 3.4 V8 engine block is unique in Mondial t models. Mirroring the two-seater Ferrari V8 vehicles, all 3.0 and 3.2 l engines sit across the car with their crankshaft and cylinder planes transverse to the main vehicle axis. The 3.4 l engine in the Mondial t (and 348 GTB cousin) is rotated ninety degrees to a longitudinal orientation with respect to the car.
Powered by the Tipo F106B V8, the Mondial 8 produced 160 kW (214 hp) @ 6,600 rpm, and 243 Nm (179 lb.ft) @ 4,600 rpm.
this car has done 160 k's in the year that the owner has had it. He has driven it twice in that year and he does business overseas but c'mon, i'd do that in a day!!!
