To be honest the other sort of models always seem a bit uncanny valley - prefer natural beauty rather than something a make-up artist has created

yes, i think any speed above 200kmh is not very comfy anymore.

Have to admit that driving in Germany is always a pleasure as most people overtake and then move back. Here so many overtake thin air because there is another car about 10km ahead so it isn't worth it.

Worst drivers? I nominate the Belgians. Probably too much Trappist beer. Though UK is probably a notable mention.

Worst drivers I ever experienced were in Florida. That was an experience…

To this competition I nominate Romanian truckers. They just don't know what is going on around them (or they don't give a f) Absolutely malajusted to traffic. Blinkers seem like a bad word to them.

Have never driven in Florida (have never been there) so cannot comment but given the likes of Florida man and that it seems to be a retirement home for many that may be a factor. US in general isn't too bad from my experience except when they encounter a roundabout. At this point they seem to have a system malfunction and cannot understand what the hell you do at them. Oregon is OK as most people are hyped up on coffee that is subdued by the weed.

Forgot about Malta which seems to be first car there determines what side of the road you drive on. Been a while since I have been there so may have improved. Kenya was Ok bu just never get out of the car as something is likely to eat you.

Wonderful evening walk, sunny and +23 C; we even brought some sandwiches (not sand witches ) and some yummy doggie pellets for the little one.

Lest time I drove that 250+ plus was in my uncles porsh 911 I borrowed because I had to drive my friend who's a Artis to a party in Germany.

Got pulled over because they found a young driver with 2 guys and 1 girl in a expensive car Suspicious.

My friend the Artis had some weed on him. So he got scared. They asked if they where allowed to search the car. I said yes, I'm sober so no worries. The trunk opend. A big canister of withe power was in there. We got cuffed. Extra cars came and I said I'm borrowing this car no idea what it is. Apperantly it was dry pvc cement. My uncle used to be a plumber before he got into sales work for the same company. They thought the 200grams of powder was cocaine. Luckily the test showed is was not cocaine and we went on after standing still for 2 hours. My friend was scared because he had weed on him.

Fun story. Altho driving 290 still feels scary

Edinburgh Castle. Quite a few shots of Edinburgh itself. Some bits of the castle are closed because of you know what. Not been there for about 30 yearsL Was lucky we could park right outside the entrance.

The pic (2nd) of the building which has the twirl on top is a hotel but is known locally as the Golden Turd and most locals hate it. The media seem to want call it the Walnut Whip.

A petition has been launched to put googly eyes on the St James Quarter's 'Golden Turd'

A petition aims to kick up a stink in Edinburgh's city centre by having the council put googly eyes on the St James Quarter's 'Golden Turd'.

We went to the same place as yesterday, no wind at all and an almost eerie atmosphere - but gorgeous:

A few more. The gun firing always happens at 13:00 Mon to Sat. was waiting for it to fire and when it did, it made me jump and finger hit the stop button.

Fascinating. Another thunderstorm this night. I always turn everything off and just sit next to the window and just watch it. This is what I caught. Its from the camera timelapse, so sorry for the quality that is not the best.
