Our local Renault garage had a De Lorean for sale for quite a while. It did eventually sell though I haven't seen it driving around since. I assume a collector bought it.

There are already shoes with a dial type thing on the front to tighten the laces. Not the same as Nike Air 2015 Kicks but pretty close.

The local kids would love the hover board. Less work than the wave board they all seem to have .

The reason Pixmania do not offer the factory guarantee is because often they are grey imports. Sigma, for one, will not service lenses imported this way, and I am sure Pentax and others are not keen either.

Unless you are fluent in French or German you will need a translation of any handbook provided though this is not a problem with Pentax cameras - they provide translations on a CD with the camera.
The plug can be a problem and a pain too. You can get something delivered with a UK plug in Europe and vice versa.

They are seldom cheap enough to make the downsides of ordering from them worthwhile.

Sorry Timbo

If you read dougf8's initial post it tells you how to enter.

Much as I miss Britain at times, this sort of thing makes me glad I'm in the Netherlands.

Well summer seems to have left us. 16C today .

Off to Friesland tomorrow, rain and cold are the forecast. No hint of sun until Tuesday - we get back on Monday .

About to pack up my K20D ready to give to my DIL this weekend.

Whilst I don't like it much I shall miss it. Still I will hopefully only be without a camera for a couple of months since the K5 is due to go on sale in October.

Oops had to duck for a pig flying over then .

Well I suppose I could drive to one within 5 minutes. It might take another 5 to find a parking space though. And why would I want to go to one in the first place. Yuk.

I'd float away in clogs .

Dogs at the kennels, and I am a bit drier today. Still not looking too brilliant for our weekend away. Never mind.

Congratulations on your new camera. I am glad you can run two systems side by side. Enjoy it.

For my trip to Africa I took my Ds and my Tamron 28-300. Only very occasionally did I wish I'd had a longer lens, and certainly never wished I had a prime on the camera. One animal is so close you can almost touch it - the next you need full zoom for.
One reason I bought the Bigma was for if I am ever lucky enough to return to Africa. I wouldn't want to limit myself to a long prime. many of the photos I took were in fact in the 80-180 range. Only the leopards required a longer range than I had.
I saw others with big white Canons who were frustrated that they couldn't get the photo they wanted because the lens was too long.
