I think if I were buying an Aston, I'd be getting a 1990 V8 Vantage V8 in British Racing Green.
With a tan leather interior.
And a towbar for my bike rack.

I’d agree sir…….a well sorted gentleman’s sporting carriage

I still miss this, sort of. It was a lovely thing to drive & a life box to tick, on the other hand it was ruinously expensive to own & taught me that a very effectve way to waste money is to buy a flash car. Mind you, flash ebikes are the same. Tell you what, I've learned nothing.

A quick spin on the exercise bike on my lunch break.

I'm quite sad I had to go back to work.

Brings back memories that the new Roundhouse in the background. When I was an apprentice trawlerman in 1970 as soon as we went past the old Roundhouse my job was to go to the wheelhouse and bring back a couple of cases of beer . That's when the fun began.

Ebikes are just amazing for backcountry riding.

Totally agree , but just don't ever think about what the long walk out would be like if there was a serious failure . Five miles my longest and ebikes don't roll down heathery hills without a derailleur unless they are mega steep. Enjoy

First the local backyard and then dirt jumping.

That looks painful.

That looks painful.

Maybe I should contact a psychiatrist.

Remember someone sitting on and breaking a toilet seat , sixty stiches later he still walks with a limp.

I can feel the heat from here. Balmy 16 here today all the quines in shorts and skimpy tops.

An old neighbour of mine popped past this winter in his V8. It's got great presence.

Rust killed most of the Sud Sprint Cloverleaf's (and normal Sud's) here in the UK, I think I've seen ONE Sprint in the last 20 years or so. Nice car, have fun.

What bleed kit is that? Looks like a good one!

I don’t think this bleed kit is available anymore, it’s like this but missing hose to Maven and massage block: https://r2-bike.com/SRAM-Pro-Bleed-...l-Maxima-Mineral-Oil-DB4-DB6-DB8-Maven-Motive

Stand off at the OK corall.

The black lady on the right there chased us down the other side of the hill. Curious (in the literal sense) creatures, cows.

where is that?
looks a lot like the Purbecks

South downs, north of Worthing.

At the top of one of our local mountains it’s a wicked view. The local indigenous ancestors thought so as well with the medicine and ceremony circle.

I didn’t recognize the location but I suspected the foot-hills between Alberta and BC. There’s some altitude there with a great view.

In our area the indigenous people strip the bark of cedar trees (100-200 yrs old). The bark strips are then rolled up and later used. The procedure doesn’t harm the cedar tree and over time they heal and can create a cat-face. The strips are usually 15-25’ long.

They choose small random areas 15-20 trees and use, I assume, for ceremonial purposes.
