Another sadly missed Yeti, although this one fell victim to the dreaded Pan Roof leak. 

 

Sorry the back drop isn't especially notable 

 

 

How about a nicer background?

On Blakey Ridge today.

The structure they said could never be built... Until Husband and Co consulting engineers took up the challenge!

Coincidence is a funny old thing. I was rummaging around last night and came across this of my old Superb from July 2012:

Fond memories 😊

It is indeed. They moved it around just so I could take the photo nice tea rooms, and things to do there. Obviously I was there for the science, not the cafes....

This is an interesting doc about the place.

The tour guide mentioned that in today's money the project went over build and got up to about £22 million. Lovell was then personally hit with the bill and it all got very nasty, very quickly.

What saved Jodrell was 'Sputnik'. Apparently the satellite wasn't the interesting bit, the launch craft though, was. It was a repurposed ICBM rocket the Russians used to put Sputnik in orbit, thus showing the world, not only that they had the first satellite, but they also had ICBMs. Jodrell was the only facility reckoned to be able to track the rocket stage and so it suddenly all came good financially....the rest is history :)

Doesn't work so well in portrait but in wide-screen it'd be too far away to see it 🤣

A little unnerving being so close as they're spinning I thought.

Not a great pic half in the shade and not a particularly nice backdrop either.
But it's a Chevvy Impala so thought I'd take a pic anyways.

I'd love it even more in BRG.

On the western side of Spencer's Gulf, south of Port Augusta, South Australia.

Took the green one out today after a quick blast with the pressure washer.

The VRS in Glencoe on Wednesday.

Got away with not having the winter wheels/tyres on 😵‍💫

More nice car with a not so nice backdrop:

At my local shopping centre just now. Don't know that it's a real Harlequin, but it made me smile all the same 😁
