I rather like the interior which is both well put together (no rattles) and pretty good quality. It is however filthy and could do with a freshen up. This will be addressed shortly.
The initial assessment went quite well. The underside is in very good condition and the previous advisories of a damp steering rack and corroded front brake lines don't look to have worsened. Both sides will probably clean up fine.
Having driven it another 20 miles or so we discovered the thermostat is probably stuck open, which accounts for the temperature gauge I thought was non-functional. It does actually start to read when stationary, but cools straight off again when on the move. Annoyingly thermostat replacement is a cambelt-off job on these, however I have a work-around for this, which involves installing a thermostat in one of the top-hoses. Apparently this is a common fix on Rover 75s too.
The cool running, very short runs and long periods standing all appear to have contributed to condensation and thus mayonnaise in the underside of the oil cap. I was a bit concerned this could be a symptom of head gasket failure, however the coolant is fine and it's exhibiting no other symptoms of HGF. I'll keep an eye on it.
Initially it ran very well this morning, but after 15 miles or so it started to hesitate and misfire. We hooked up the diagnostic gear and a few codes came up. They relate to the EGR valve, crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor. We managed to clear them and remove the EML, but the crankshaft sensor fault kept returning.
On the cosmetics front we tried and failed to remove the dent in the rear bumper (a job for a warmer day) and my neighbour tested some wax treatment on the rear 3/4 panel. We concluded something stronger is required!
So what's the plan? With the sensors being relatively inexpensive I'm going to get one of each and see what difference they make. I'm aware the actual problems could lie elsewhere, but this seems a reasonably inexpensive place to start. I'll also look at some options for the thermostat work-around. I'll not get a lot of time on this over the next few weeks, so it'll be a bit of a slow burn. I'll collect some parts, start to tackle the interior as and when I can and then do some fitting up in a few weeks time. Watch this space...
Sorry, this is not really 'artistic' or anything. It's more like a snapshot haha.
This is what I do when I'm stuck in a car for an hour.
Yes, I blow balloons in a car and then make funny noises with them. :D God, I'm weird....
Anyway, just to inform you, I love grey shirts.
The first unit of the Optara project is moved out of the ABES terminal where it was discharged towards the Total refinery. The move was delayed by one day because of stormy weather on 21 October.
The 140 ton unit was manufactured in Spain by Tecnicas Reunidas and loaded on board of the heavy lift vessel Anne-Sofie at the port of Taragonna.
It is part of a 1 billion investment by Total in the Antwerp refinery which is the second largest refinery in Europe. The “Optara” project, as it has been named by Total, will involve 5 ship loads that will be brought in over the ABES Terminal at the 5th Haven dock.
The unit is loaded on a Goldhofer 4 file unit self propelled modular Transporter (SPT) for the transport from the terminal to the Total plant.
Details Goldhofer SPT :
Length : loading deck 16,50m (+4,00m for the engine)
Width : 6,29m
Height : 1,175m(+/- 0,3m)
Carrying capacity : 61,4 ton per axle (x 8 axles)
Each axle had 55° steering
At the Total refinery the flags are still flying half mast in honor of chief executive and chairman Christophe de Margerie who died in a plane crash in Moscow on October 20th 2014
It is Fashion Month in our town, two famous malls will be presenting this kind of show one after the other every week. Great chance to practice portrait photography.
Going back through old shoots and finding shots that for some reason I decided not to process / share at the time

This day was a race day. I had been running since Friday afternoon and during all day. So, there is no photos with my fuji today. I was carrying my sports camera and took some photos during the day but nothing good... I've chosen this photo as the photo of the day because there is no more... Sorry.
I finished the race wirh 32h50m in 137th position over 2500...it is the best result ever for me.

For over a year now, Elisa and I have been looking out for opportunities to contribute to our Found Shadow Project. Here are some of the results.
We set up these rules for the project:
1. Only 'found' shadows could be entered in the project (nothing is staged!).
2. The object casting the shadow must be out of frame.
3. Only available light, natural or otherwise. may be used.

Wellington Marina.
This evening my meetup group went to see a lighting art exhibition-y thing called Glade 'at a secret location'. It was good fun and interesting but we were not allowed to take photos. So I took my photo for the day outside at the marina.
Then we went for a bite to eat and a natter at The Establishment on Courtenay Place.

I shot this with my cellphone and the light of a table lamp, with daylight from the window behind her.
At the races. The wedding rehearsal dinner was at a local racetrack in Batavia. My daughter, in the last light of the day.

Pour sa sixième session, le LASCO PROJECT invite 6 artistes français et internationaux à défricher de nouveaux espaces du Palais de Tokyo : Philippe Baudelocque, Stelios Faitakis, JR et les OSGEMEOS, Olivier Kosta-Théfaine.
Philippe Baudelocque, - + / = +
Au Palais de Tokyo, Philippe Baudelocque entend « composer l’espace au jour le jour, comme un blog, sur plusieurs mois. » Son intervention défriche un escalier monumental - entre une élévation spatiale et une chute dans les abysses -, plongeant le public en immersion dans ses tracés atomiques. Entre les lignes et les dégradés de ces paysages instables, le macro rencontre le micro, le physique devient mental, le vertical défie l’horizontal, la force cohabite avec le vulnérable et le sauvage a des allures domestiques…
Philippe Baudelocque (né en 1974 à Yerres, France, où il vit) trace à la craie blanche sur fond noir son bestiaire cosmique, ses univers infinis, ses empreintes de mains, ses OVNI, ses magmas emmêlés… : autant de travaux composés de symboles mystérieux et désacralisés. Ses fresques fragiles et éphémères sont composées de cellules, d’étoiles filantes, de croisement de lignes chamaniques et autres motifs - ses « codex » - qu’il dessine à l’avance dans un carnet.
Stelios Faitakis, Elegy Of May. Part I: The Deepness Of Things. Part II: The Round Table
Stelios Faitakis présente deux peintures murales sur le thème de l’insoumission, tissant des liens entre les événements de Mai 68 influencés par la pensée situationniste, et les luttes actuelles. Comme l’artiste le précise : « Les deux surfaces de mon projet au Palais de Tokyo présentent une relation intéressante entre elles, l’une étant cachée sous l’autre. C’était parfait pour une composition en deux parties (…), toutes deux en lien étroit avec des images bien connues de l’iconographie byzantine, de la crucifixion et de la Cène, mais détournées. »
Sur fonds dorés ou argentés, les peintures d’Histoire de Stelios Faitakis (né en 1976, vit à Athènes) décomposent l’architecture, les symboles géométriques, la typographie et remixent les références et les techniques. Ses icônes désacralisées mettent en scène des auréoles enflammées, des résistants palestiniens, des émeutes, les excès du capitalisme ou plus récemment les traversées mortuaires des migrants.
JR et OSGEMEOS, Manutention - ŒUVRE INACCESSIBLE AU PUBLIC
Installée dans un espace inaccessible au public, l’œuvre de JR et les OSGEMEOS est visible grâce à un écran vidéo situé dans le Foyer Jean-Renoir (niv. 1).
Pour leur première collaboration dans une institution, JR et les OSGEMEOS investissent un tunnel souterrain secret du Palais de Tokyo. Travaillant sur la mémoire de ces murs – pendant l’Occupation, les sous-sols du Palais de Tokyo ont été réquisitionnés pour stocker des milliers de pianos spoliés –, les artistes ont collé des photographies, élaboré des peintures à partir d’images d’archives, brûlé les plafonds et composé des sculptures en bougies.
Les peintures de Otavio et Gustavo Pandolfo (nés à Sao Paulo en 1974, où ils vivent), connus sous le nom de OSGEMEOS, mixent les codes du graffiti avec ceux du hip-hop, du folklore brésilien, de la politique, des cirques alternatifs, ou encore de la mythologie. Depuis 2002, ils peignent une série de « Géants » jaunes, dans l’espace public, pour rétrécir visuellement nos villes. JR (né en 1983, il vit entre Paris et New York) effectue un travail de photographies XXL, en noir et blanc, qu’il colle dans l’espace public pour révéler les invisibles du monde entier, des banlieues françaises à la Turquie, de Times Square au Louvre, en passant par les ghettos du Kenya ou les favelas du Brésil.
Olivier Kosta-Théfaine, Soffitto
Olivier Kosta-Théfaine s’empare de trois coupoles sur lesquelles il compose au briquet un ciel calciné - la technique vient des halls HLM où des jeunes, pour brûler le temps, s’essayent aux écritures en feu sur les plafonds - remixant les fresques classiques des Palais Italiens avec la tradition du vandalisme quotidien des cités. Olivier Kosta-Théfaine dissèque la ville par ses périphéries, ses mauvaises réputations et ses légendes urbaines. Il peint les détails abstraits d’une rue, observe les mauvaises herbes ou crée des écharpes de supporters de foot en hommage aux banlieues, ciblant la tension qu’il y a entre l’envie de fuir sa zone tout en la défendant corps et âme.
Project 365 07/11/2017: This is one of the compact fluorescent bulbs I remember buying on clearance at a hardware store in 2001. It's been on a lamp, ceiling fixture, then back to desk lamp. Now it's on the porch fixture and has been for at least ten years. It's not as bright as it used to be but amazingly at 16-years old it still lights up.
