My 6yr old presented this with "Because you do all the jokes". I could not be more proud.

Probably a bit longer in peak than Is ideal but that's a matter of conditioning.

C'mon buddy

He is a good boy #dogstadon

OTD 14 years ago I arrived in Zakopane for Xmas, lots of snow and not too cold. It was my first introduction to snow tires which I have had to use since coming here.

Happy holidays everyone!

The railway tracks I have to walk across from the car park at work. It's a quiet line, nevertheless the railway company would not let us out a footbridge here.

At the borough's Hannukah celebration with the kids. It's great but it's very cold.

Took my reissued Tamiya Hotshot out on the snow. Was fun. Needs a much better tyre for it, and it's too low, but those are old Hotshot problems.

The cold is here.

USS Requin at her permanent mooring on the Ohio river. I used to tease my sons that they had to distract the guide while I figured out how to put my pack of AA batteries in it and drive it around. They weren't impressed.

Had his play in the snow and now he is dozing on me #dogstadon

My son playing in the back garden enjoying the first sprinkle of snow this year.

Donnelly lies on the track in the aftermath of his accident. He is still belted into his seat, which has separated from the bulkhead. His steering wheel is behind.

This is him reunited with the same model 21 years later at Goodwood. #F1

And here's an HA-112 'Buchon', a Spanish license-built version of the BF-109. The engine is a Rolls-Royce Merlin, changing the nose shape significantly. A very popular stand-in for the Messerschmitt in film. There's a lot more Rolls motors around than Daimler originals.

Two examples of the BF-109 'G model, one airworthy, one residing in the Smithsonian in DC. They made a bunch of these and they constitute a lot of surviving examples.
