I'm going next Friday for the "Lazy Summer Evening" - give my Sony A350 a good runout! Anyone else going?

Love the baby rhino!

Which lens would be better to take? Sony 18-70mm or Sigma 75-300mm? Only want to take one!

Thanks Rob - that was the best pic I got of it, even after hanging around for quite a while, I reckon feeding was in that corner and mummy rhino was keeping it away from the people.

The 75-300 would be the best bet as most of mine were at the 200mm end of the 18-200. Anything shorter and you'll get more background than animal, and spend the rest of the week cropping them all!!!

Enjoy yourself, I really could have spent longer

Quality shots!

Looked like you jumped in most of the exhibits!

Cool pics! Wish I could take photos like that...

Nice, looks like you enjyed the Cheetah.

Thanks all for the comments - the cheetah's were excellent, especially as their location masked the enclosure fences so it could almost be in the wild. Will be getting a couple printed for the wall I think.

Didn't see the Cheetah when I went on Friday as it was quite late. Also the Chimps had been put to bed by that time (apparently they have a very strict routine and literally go ape if it ges knocked out of sync, even slightly!). :P

Got some other good shots tho. Will be saving a better quality lens with a bigger zoom range :cool:

Rear silencer recommendations for 2011 1.2 TSI 105BHP hatchback.

Hi there, my rear box has finally given up the ghost so I'm looking for a half decent replacement. I don't want to fork out for a genuine OEM one as the seem quite pricey. In the past I've bought exhaust parts from a manufacturer beginning with a K and found them to be really poor. A mate of my son works in their technical department and he says he wouldn't use them. So if anyone has any suggestions of makes and suppliers they've found to be good quality I'd love to know. Thanks in advance.

Metallic rattle when going over potholes

Alan_C · 15 hours ago15 hr

Have a listen to the audio & share your thoughts. I've replaced both wishbones & anti role bars a couple of months ago. This rattle started about a week ago & is progressively getting worse. The right hand tyres is wearing on the edges, both inside & outside. Turning the teering wheel on a flat road doesn't create the sound. Only when driving over drains or potholes. I've had on ramps and had the wheel off. I can't see anything obvious Skoda front suspension rattle.mp3

Hi guys My Octavia 2 FL makes rattling noise on rough asphalt, exposed stones, small cracks. Brakes, system ATE, disc 280mm, pads Febi 16328. When I press brake pedal quiet.

MOT in March nothing in suspension. I know sway bar link clattering noise. I think left side is louder than right or it is noise from left wheel. Any

Factory fitted electric towbar is not releasing after a long time not using

candasm · 20 hours ago20 hr

Hi Everyone, I have a Factory fitted electric Tow bar. Last time I use, it was 5 years ago I believe. I tried to use it Today no chance not releasing. It has a green light always but whenever I pull it out light changes to red blinking and tow bar is not releasing. I used some wd-40 and rust cleaner but still result didn't' change. I also tried to pull out the tow bar with bare hand or hit the mechanism with a wood or hammer(kindly), still no chance. Anyone faced the same issue?
