Goodnight all.

Evening all from Estuary-Land. Still 25 degrees even this late. According to the forecast the thunderstorms are going to just miss this side of the country so its carry on sweltering. Time for a cool drink, be back later.

Morning all from Estuary-Land. Not a lot to do today but get the car taxed though I've got until the end of the month. It will only take a few minutes on the web. Not much else, be back later.

Goodnight all.

Japanese market only but sold in other markets as the Lexus SC.

A couple had been married for many years. One of the husbands habits that used to annoy his wife was every morning he used to let go an enormous fart. His wife used to say to him that one day he'd blow out his innards with the fart. One Christmas morning as she was preparing the turkey when seeing the giblets gave her an idea. She took the giblets upstairs and placed them in the bed behind her husband. About half an hour later she heard her husband fart followed by a blood curdling scream and the sound of footsteps rushing to the bathroom. Half an hour later the husband came down, rather subdued, and said to the wife "You were right, my innards came out when I farted. But its OK, with the aid of some vaseline I was able to put them back."

Afternoon all from Estuary-Land. Have spent a very pleasant morning as guests of the Mid Essex MRC, I collected my friend and his young son and took them with me to the clubhouse. Various club layouts were set up for our delectation and the youngster managed to get his hands on a controller and was as happy as a sand boy. Tea and snacks were provided including home made sausage rolls and bread pudding. Tea to be drunk, be back later.

Why-O-why can't we have a GROAN button?

Morning all from Estuary-Land. Another quick hello as I'm off out shortly, an invite to visit a local club holding an open day. Got to get the paper and some petrol on the way. Be back later.

The original owner Frank Waller passed away earlier this year and the family sold the business on.

Goodnight all.

Many years ago I took my niece and nephew to an event at Old Warden (Shuttleworth collection). Part of the event was a visit from the BoB flight that included the Lancaster which overflew the airfield at no more than 200 feet. The noise was tremendous.

Evening all from Estuary-Land. Today's been storm-sunshine-storm-sunshine. Now at least its cleared and is a bit fresher. Time to put the kettle on, be back later.

Not forgetting the Karrier dustcart and Corona delivery truck.

It was not unusual for Ford Pops to leave the factory with wings/bonnets/grills painted a slightly different shade to the rest of the car. This is because the body shell was painted, trimmed and then attached to the chassis before those components were attached to the car. The reason being it could be an older or different batch of paint. Beige and pale green seemed to suffer most from this problem.

RTI are 1/76 scale, the OP was asking about H0 scale.

Morning all from Estuary-Land. Bright sunshine first thing this morning, then rain thunder and lightning and now bright sunshine. Not a lot else, be back later.

Goodnight all.

Persisting down outside with a bit of thunder and lightening thrown in for good measure.

Evening all from Estuary-Land. Car passed its MOT with no notifications, not bad for an 11 year old car. Only took a couple of hours to service and test it, I got home and only just taken my coat off when they rang to say it was ready. I'd just had time between dropping the car off and getting home to have a haircut and pop into Smiffs for the latest Back Track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyeMFSzPgGc

What about all the patrons? Just imagine painting about 1,000 figures.

Morning all from Estuary-Land. Happy birthday Baz and many more of 'em. Theres actually three different gallons in use and to further cause confusion Canada uses or used to use Imperial gallons. http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallon Off now to get the car serviced and tested.

But its hard to see Uranus. I know, hat and coat already on...
