WOW....I have just been told I am going to get a share of 9.7million US dollars. Amaznig. All I have to do is send my bank details to a representative of hte Ban of Nigeria, and the IMF will do all the rest. Better hurry...apparantly, if I don't act now it all goes to somebody else. Better contact that nice chap in Lagos right away ...

At last....a World Cup Final goal....

Why is it that 3 days before your MOT is the perfect time for your bike to blow a hole in it's exhaust... Time to crank up the welding gear

Aargh.... project inspiration failure! I have messed about with so many ideas for the rear end of my cage, it#s making my head hurt. I don;t like ANY of them! Desperately in need of inspiration

For those who have never read the SALES RULES, I suggest you read the bit about 'not using Status to promote your sales.....

Latest Top Gear Burma 'special' ..... a lesson in how to go downhill faster than anyone managed in Sochi this year

The M5 has landed. The rider is assembled, the batteries are charged....so tomorrow it should get it's maiden voyage. No light left by the time I was ready.

Come ON DPD man....between 15:36 and 16:36 I should be getting my Anderson M5 in lovely KTM orange! Can't go home until it gets here

I hate being confused

Curse....foiled by the fates! My Kemora has ended up posted to the wrong address Still...Modelspor have sorted the problem and I should have it tomorrow. Another days wait...and it will be mine

Rain...Rain...Rain. I got to either get an indoor micro or an outdoor waterproof RC or risk insanity. Hmmm Losi Micro or Vaterra Kemora maybe If the Vaterra takes 1/10 touring wheels...then I'm sold

It's wierd....when I'm skint, there are loads of things I need and want. Now I have some funds in PayPal, there is nothing I want to buy. The RC Gods are cruel indeed

Cyclists....I give up. Watched one wobble through a red light, then proceed to cycle along the middle of the road at around 10mph. On a motorcycle...I go to pass him on the inside as there is a whole lane, and I assume he is going to turn right. He doesn't...instead he wobbles back to the inside. As I am waiting at the next lights he decides to lecture me on 'undertaking'....And they wonder my they have a bad reputation in London. I did the decent thing and pointed out that fat bl...

Gave the Firestorm a good 3S pasting, and it's great fun. When I got it home...it smelt funny Chassis and bumper were smeared with 'mud' only it wasn't muddy..... oh....****.

Just spent half the evening working out how to drive my Sanwa MT-4....and now I want a 4 wheel steer setup just so I can show it off! Still not sure I got the right aux channel set right for my killswitch....but will find out tomorrow!

Project Firestorm is alive, and great fun! On top of that, I just took delivery of one barely used Sanwa MT4 ... and that ain't bad either

Interesting...a 150Mah 1S heli battery doesn't work if you leave it in your pocket and put your jeans through the wash...who would have thought it! I then discovered that everyone selling Turnigy 150Mah Nanos on E-Bay are ripping people off. Hobbyking do them for 95p each...yet they seem to sell for around

Moved on to the US now. Mega long days flying, and now in SanFrancisco. Visited Alcatraz, rode the cable car...then had pizza and watched The Rock.....Got a couple more days in SF, then we fly back to the UK. Going to be odd being back home...haven't been there for a while! Still...Got RC projects to do

Right up on the North of north island now. Spent the last fewdays around the Coromandels, including Hot Water Beach. A natural spring hits some volcanic chamber deep underground, and the heated water comes up on the beach in a couple of springs. Dig a hole on the beach, and it fills with hot water. Instant spa! The springs are uncovered 2 hours either side fo low tide. Crazy..but fun! Off up 90 mile beach tomorrow. Only got a few days left here, then we fly off to SanFrancisco for a f...

Now moved on to North Island. Stayed with friends for a few days and quit Wellington about 4 hrs before a 6.2 quake hit the place and closed the roads! Now we are in a campervan, and touring. Reached Rotorua today, hot springs...guysers...spectacular stuff! Van park we are at has it's own spa pools fed by volcanic water...beer/stars/hot steamy water...doesn;t get any better! Have burned a whole years holiday to be here...but it's worth it

Went to Christchurch yesterday. Eerie place after the earthquakes. he centre of town is a still largely off limits with buildngs either torn down or fenced off. Last big quake was 2 years ago, but there is still a lot to do to rebuild. Now moved on to North Island, and we pick up a camper van in a few days to start touring. New Zealand is a fascinating place. Not a big place...but every part is so different!

Last couple of days before we leave South Island for the North. Visited Mount Cook today, and we are over-nighting at Lake Tekapo. More scenery...no Hobbits...Hopefully, the weather will stay good. They are having one of hte mildest winters on record so far...which is good! A month back, we would not have been able to reach Mt Cook...the road was under a metre of snow!

The trek continues. Now in New Zealand...done the Franz Josef glacier, and off to Milford Sound tomorrow. Got a few more sights to see yet. Had a slight hiccup when we foubnd out the firm supplying our campervan for next week had gone bust! Have had to sort a replacement. Glad we paid for decent holiday insurance! Scenery in NZ is absolutely epic.

Today...Sydney. Took a trip around the harbour, saw the sights. Tomorrow we are off to the Opera House. Then....we fly on to Christchurch. Can't beat a bit of proper holiday!

Got stacks of photos. Snorkelling on the reef yesterday, and took some underwater shots. See how those come out! Fly on to Sydney today. Then on to New Zealand on Saturday!
