BluBear Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 By a strange coincidence my loved ones clubbed together er...last August (coughs slightly) and got me this for chrimbo! Managed to fly it this morning for the first time - in between rain storms and now have a muddy chopper Nice chopper! I used to fly a T-Rex 450 and an I.C Raptor 30 as an aside from my usual RC aeroplanes a few years ago. My RC flying has been on hiatus since about 2011, but parts of my Raptor live on with PapaBear. I flew RC pretty much as soon as I could walk and talk, i'll get back to it one of these days... I'll occasionally sit up in my loft and stroke my 1/6th scale Spitfire. Quote
DD_Arthur Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Lol, there appeared to be much more sorrow in your voice than your sons! January. One way or another, all thoughts turn to SATS........ @ Blubear; 'fraid I'm a fat-fingered fifty year old so I've had to become really good with a micro soldering iron! I also have a little collective pitch Hisky which is around 6" long and for me is like juggling a bucket of frogs. On a good day its like juggling a bucket and a frog. Thank goodness for throttle hold! Quote
Sweper Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Got a new toy today Nikon Coolpix A. "Pocketable" camera, 16mp with DX sensor. Found it on Ebay UK and the chap only wanted 300£ for it. When it was released back in 2013, it was more than twice that price. Nice walk around cam, only 300 grams instead of a heavy DSLR 1+kg depending on what optics attached. Oops! Think I need an adapter, lol. 1 Quote
Sweper Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 First pic's with my new toy. A sunny winter day, 6 below zero and blue sky. Had a nice walk around the harbour and in old town Falkenberg. 2 Quote
DD_Arthur Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 Luuurvley Swep! I've been really looking forward to taking some winter landscapes but so far it's been mild and wet - just like today I was thinking of getting a small compact for similar reasons when I found one I'd bought the kids years ago which they've hardly used #2. Now it lives in the glove box of my motor. Talking of motors; Not my new toy but my eldest son's new magnet. GTi Diesel. Bought it yesterday morning. I've had a play and it goes like the clappers! Late last night he took me for a spin on the local autobahn. When he got it up to an indicated 130mph I had to cry "Enough!" 1 Quote

1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted July 16, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 16, 2016 Very Nice Arthur! I should post pics of my 'new' toy.. (2004 Ford Expedition Eddy Baeur 5.4L) Will have to take them first of course lol.. Quote
DD_Arthur Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 5.4litres!!!! C'mon Rog; lets see it. What does it do to the gallon? ten to fifteen? For your info; if my calculations are correct we're paying around $5.40 here in the UK for a US gallon of unleaded. Whats it like in Missouri? GSXR was just irresistible after I rode it and...well...why not? Fastest bike I've ever owned before this was a 1982 GPz1100A1. Last bike I owned before this was a 1973 750 Triumph Bonneville - about eight years ago. I've got a bit of catching up to do....slowly. Quote
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted July 17, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 17, 2016 We are paying around $1.94 a gallon currently, just as well considering I'm getting around 13 mpg! Would love a bike like yours though, climate here is perfect for it (except wearing leathers would be very uncomfortable). Stay safe! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

DD_Arthur Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 6.40pm, Friday the twenty-sixth of August; the start of bank holiday weekend. 'arrows time!! Quote
DD_Arthur Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Not a new toy but yesterday was - astonishingly - my eldest son's twenty-fifth birthday. As we sat at the breakfast table and the sun rose over another drizzling, arse-freezing, grey morning; "So what are you doing today, son?" "Melissa (GF) says we're going for a romantic walk on Dartmoor" "Dartmoor...today?...nice....." What she did infact have planned was an hour in this; Doing a touch and go at Innsbruck! He said it was fantastic!! Wouldn't mind a go myself. He did it here; http://www.virtualjetcentre.co.uk/ 3 Quote
Sweper Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Finally after more than a week of owning the car, without being able to do anything but feel sorry for myself, I got out on a short trip and took some photos of my new toy. Well, there were two "new" toys actually. Photos taken with my other new toy, a Nikon D750 which havn't been used a lot since I bought it. Note, both are used but very well taken care of from previous owners. Regarding the big toy it has winter tyres/wheels mounted, which can bee seen on the photos. Original ones are a bit bigger and wider. 235x45x17 and they will come on in april. 1 Quote
