Oh My.. Lotus I do like you...

This… is the Exige Scura..  Fantasyland material for The Matt Black Fetishists Club (of which I’m a fully paid up member!)

THIS is a turbo

Note the normal size coffee cup in the background..

This is one of a pair that’ll be powering a new project I’m involved in…

I think it’s safe to say it might have 1 or 2 HP!

Brain Fade

Having a blog is both great and terrible at the same time.. 

If there is a point to your blog (i.e. GrumpyBrit and his relentless commentary ) it becomes self fuelling, but, if there is no point, other than to share thoughts and interests with the world, if you have one of those slow days where there’s nothing really in the news that lights your fire, no amazing new cars to talk about, no scandal in motorsport.. (OK, so there is always scandal in motorsport, but in the wake of the Briatore moment it pales into insignificance).. you enter the terrible area of brain fade..

 

I could write for days about my daughter, but I’m not sure if my reader (I hope there’s one, maybe I’ll move to plural at some point!) is really interested in the daily goings on of the Marvellous Daisy Dot..

I could write about work, but really, you don’t want to know about that..

I guess I could write about the impending energy crisis that we are desperately trying to ignore, but there are already so many bloggers hitting that subject far more effectively and accurately than I possibly could..

I could write about some new technology, but, I’ve not found anything of late that’s really set things alight.. (although this article on the CCD is quite interesting.. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/10/ccd-inventors-awarded-nobel-prize-40-years-on/ )

I could bore you about my return to ownership of an Xbox 360, but the likes of IGN et al are already far more capable than I of providing endless dialogue on that subject…

 

So, what do I write about..  

 

If you are reading this, and have any thoughts.. feel free to pen me a note, preferably non-abusive..

 

I’ll have a think over the next day or so and see if there’s anything to enlighten you, dear reader, with..

 

(there’s an awful lot of “I”s in this… hmmm)

a reason to get up in the morning..

If ever there was one..

 

Never Judge A Book...

I was looking for a particular image on my PC and came across this photo that I took last year.  The majority of people would find Torsten’s image quite off putting, making snap judgements on lifestyle, personality and (most probably) criminality, but, having spent a good amount of time with him it was very apparent that he was not the person that people would judge him to be..

 

Everyone is equal until someone makes a decision about another person..

Getting Away for a While

It’s been a decidedly complicated year this year, a birth, a wedding and a funeral, none of which were simple.. 

So with the small amount of holiday we have left, we’re off to recharge the batteries for a week starting on Friday..

By 1400 on Friday, this will be my view..

And to be honest, I just can’t wait..

We’re off to the regular family haunt of Portscatho, down on the Roseland Peninsula in Cornwall.. If I manage to get a signal while we’re there, I may post some updates, but, it’s somewhat unlikely!

Until next time..

Looking for an Evil Corporation?

They’re here..

Just something I spotted a while back that made me chuckle..
