The best car I ever had was a Mitsubishi Lancer. I bought it second hand and drove it for 14 years. One cylinder head gasket was the only problem with it. Eventually I scrapped it, as it cost more to insure it than it was worth.

My son was heartbroken when I did that, and his first car, bought a couple of months later was a Mitsubishi Colt, which was really just the hatchback version of the Lancer.
He traded it in (!) for a VW Polo when he needed room for baby stuff. The polo has been more hassle than either Mitsubishi was.

I now have a Renault Kangoo. I don't like it much but it is practical.

My husband drives a Prius (company car), his second, and fifth Toyota. He's had lots of different cars, but has stuck to Toyota sine his first Avensis.
I expect when he retires we'll buy whatever Toyota he is then driving from the lease company. I hope it will be the Auris hybrid .

Well that is a small piece of good news from a lousy law.

You still risk being cut off from the 'net for downloading too much, even if you have paid for it. Crazy.

Well my parcel seems to be lost in the system .

Last seen at the sorting office last night, the track and trace hasn't been updated since. I hope it comes today as I have to go out tomorrow and can't stay in waiting for the mythical mailman.

Ah well back to the spring cleaning .

Nice shots... makes we want to go to America!
It's a fascinating place, especially when you get off the beaten track.
I agree. My favourite holiday destination, well after Africa.

Route 66 was great, as Unlocker will no doubt agree, and we loved exploring hidden bits of California, weird little towns in the South west, and the stunning beauty of the Northwest. Boston and Massachusetts was good too, especially once we got out of Boston. Not a city person although I've also been to DC, but all I remember of that trip is the heat .

There is just so much to see, and I just want to keep going back again. Your photos remind me of all I love about it.

I might be interested. I shall see what the consensus is and then decide.

It would involve quite a trip, and I don't have any family left in the area, at least none I could (or would want to) stay with. But I could maybe combine it with a visit to my brother in York, or even the one in Bucks then I can visit SRS too .

Anyway I'll wait and see what comes of this thread before committing.

I think they form a fine documentary of the baby's baptism, but I can see that they may not be to everyone's taste. Maybe she wanted something more traditional?

Camera Raw 5.4 supports K-7 PEFS, 5.6 is needed for the K-x. Both can only be used with PSE7 and 8.

Edit - I see the price has dropped on PSE 8 so maybe PSE9 in on the horizon .

Someone on the forum has one, but I can't remember who .

If you Google Sigma 18-250 review there are several which come up. None are on Pentax cameras though.

You will need to update Adobe Raw for PSE6 to accept the K7. I am not sure if this is possible though. Otherwise you will have to either use some other Raw converter or update to PSE8.

It tells you somewhere on the Adobe website about updating Adobe RAW for Elements, but it is a bit of a search.
