:lol: you don't have to defend yourself Charl :thumbup:

"The model in screenies does look slightly wrong?" Agree...something not quite right. Yep, the section between the B and C pillars should still have a bit of 'coke-bottle' curve to it, and the roof line is too flat. The combined effect makes the shape of the rear windscreen wrong. Strictly speaking, the things you look through are lights, and the things that light up are lamps, but it is too late at night for that sort of complication :lol: ATB to all Mike

I was supposed to go back to work in PNG on Tuesday. Zero flights out of Nelson now and I had a plan to get to Christchurch to fly to Auckland. Then today, out of nowhere, Australia shut the door. In transit? We don't care. No way to get to work at all now. Pretty pissed off. I have so many credit notes with Air NZ now that I'm confused.

I believe that they will shuttle people back and forth across the border.

Well plaid sir, that made me laugh. :lol:

Nice..a very big Lotto win car for me!....but that's not related to the original Singer? Well, they both run like sewing machines :lol: :rolleyes:

Haha lookit that cute little face! :lol: and then someone gave it a CHOP behind the neck! What a brave little car.

Cheers Naki.... I'm so into this Assetto Corsa thing.

Meet Chelsea (& fish),

Nice..spent many hours around that track on f1 199 something

That's part two, the first part is on there too. Yeah Billy is a pale shadow of his former self. Thankfully we have YouTube

:cheers: :lol: :clap: :clap: :clap:

"Still, good problems to have and we are very blessed in all other respects..." Well said ...my partner and I feel the same ...we count our blessings daily.

Some links to GRRC which may be of interest./ Indeed... thanks for the links Mike, great read. Wonder what the future holds for Brendon Hartley? Maybe not F1, but a smart driver would surely stay in touch with Formula E?

:lol: I like the way you think Charl and CP

Glad you enjoyed it, Marty. I subscribed to the GRRC a few years back and I don't regret it. Early in the pandemic they set up their own YT Channel, which was great until YT wrecked it with their bl**dy adverts. As a member, I can see a lot of exclusive stuff. Must get over there one day, to see and hear those machines and smell the Castrol R. As you saw, they do race, not just demo runs. David Coulthard's comments after being allowed to race about 16 million quid's worth of Mercedes 300SLR were fascinating. :D

Cheers, guys. Speaking of supermarkets, here in Silverstream we have New World, which is only 1.5kms away, much of it through native bush. It is amazing hearing the tūī and having the pīwakawaka flitting about my head. I don't remember ever seeing a tūī in Timaru, but here they are plentiful, and hard to miss because of their call.

Your right there Mike. The Connies were nice , but for me, the DC-7 was the peak of piston engine passenger aircraft. Interesting to note that Douglas planned a DC-8 (piston-engined) about 10 years before the jet version arrived ....... ), but it wasn't a goer, and maybe that's a good thing. Mike the trip that those shots are taken from is just made for us. Start off in Florida, fly on the old lady to Puerto Rico, have a 3-hour break, and then on to St Marteen ...enjoy the spotting and the nightlife, and reverse the trip the following day.

I Will take that onboard Charl. Might shut the place down tomorrow night ...I'm home alone on Friday, so I can give it all a good rest.
