Yes ...noticed that too...made me laugh!

Glad to have brought back some memories from the deepest depths of the 'grey stuff'

Weather was very co-operative as you mention.

Thanks for your comments David.

Was down on the A556 for an hour to take some pictures of passing bikes and cars that appealed.

By a fluke I managed to be in the 'right place at the right time' to catch these lovely vintage cars passing by at probably no more than about 40mph or so...some definitely slower than that!

Some of the cars are 'known' but many i don't recognise so haven't risked labelling the images.

They were travelling on the eastbound carriageway from Chester direction towards Manchester...no idea where they were headed.

Click on an image to view at full 1000 pix size.

Hope you enjoy the images.

Nice set Chris,

I like the subtle colours as well...very natural looking.

Well timed.

Coloured version is superb...far more to my liking than the mono in my opinion...flowers are colourful for a reason!

That combination of body and lens look ideal for close up flower photography.

Fabulous Spad.

The lower red half has a biblical vibe about it as portrayed by some of the 'Old Masters'.
A more current interpretation...it reminds me of images of 'open heart surgery'.

Keep in touch.

Nice set...you've captured the essence of the place very well and it's always welcome to see somewhere different.

Really good images.

Seems very expensive.

You could buy a nearly new replacement camera for less than twice that amount.

Unfortunately there seems to be a trend these days to replace electronic boards rather than repairing them. I'm guessing this is not unique to Pentax brand.

Consumer protection needs to be strengthened in the UK when spending large amounts on gear like this...either a California style 'Right to Repair' where manufacturers have to provide parts, tools, documentation and software to consumers or independent repairers at the same price they sell to their authorised service centres for 7 years after the item was last manufactured...or the warranty needs to be more than it is currently for items costing say over £1000...a minimum of 3 years wouldn't be unreasonable.

Assuming you could still use slot no.2...hope so!
