Planes, Trains & Automobiles... & Boats??

2008.02.03
Hmmm... the only plane I could find... but an intriguing one!!... some very early jet I would guess??
[Note- I found out.... its a De Havilland 'Vampire']

Ahhh... a few choppers mind u!

He came for a close up of ME..... oo-er!!

Steam.... a piece of the olden days....

Beautiful machine...

All Aboard...

I got my face pelted with soot and smoke!..... and quite a rough ride!!!.... such fun ha ha!!

For those who may be interested..... this was the Watercress Line, Hampshire, UK

My favourite car... had for seven years!!!.... drove well, quite quick, very reliable!!

Hmmmm... but then this came along...I adore it!!.... just not practical for day-on-day use (that is, its thirsty!!).. great for the week-ends!

... so thank god for my little put-put here; economic, comfortable and pretty reliable....

...unlike the unreliable nature of the driver..... oooopppsss!!!..... still, thats what insurance is for!!

We should have drove this around like this!!!.... but we didnt!!... bodywork was renovated and re-attached!!... nice vehicle!

Sailor boys..... p-haaaaa... give me a couple of V8s any day!!

Freedom of the Seas... at the time the largest cruise liner in the world!!.... seen here in Southampton

... but then we have this..... our US friends pop in to visit Portsmouth.... I do not remember which Nimitz class carrier this is.... (registry number is 75) ...... an awesome sight though!!!
[NB- just checked- its the USS Harry S Truman.. CVN-75]

"Rampage" (already detailed in some earlier posts).... a fun project... even though we never put her to water!!... (sold on the trailer.... alas!!)

OMG... am I frustrated or what!!.... I cannot shake off a bloody bug which has persisted for a few weeks now.... on and off in 'severity'.... what with work, weather and other personal commitments as well I have had no time for snapping away....
So... out off boredom more than anything I have trawled thru my photo archive and come up with this post...... just for the sheer hell of it!!!!
Roll on better times............... :(
