That's why I picked it, time for fresh photo's. So everybody get your wife, kids, girl friend & dog and go out this weekend for a drive and find something derelict to take a photo of!

PS. Don't forget if you see something else to photograph take some shots they may come in handy for contest #7!

Tomorrow once I'm on the mountain I'll see what I can find. Doubt it will fit the theme though.

Well on Tuesday there was a king tide, the highest in 18 years, well the new X5 did not make, metre on water, stalled motor, seized, 4" on water through cabin, full write off!

So I have been a little busy and I don't think I will get a photo for this contest but if I find time this weekend I will try again but I don't think the M3 will get me to where I want to go!

The insurance company has written it off, so I have ordered a new one which will take about 3 months, as they say s**t happens!
