I work at Jessops, and am not aware of Pentax being back on the books! I'd be pleased to hear that they are, mind - I recently bought my K-5 from another dealer...........
It's a shame the money mongers ruined Jessops, they were a good shop, once.

Dixons group currently list the K-x twin lens kit for £399.99.

That's a bargain in any brand! CLICKY LINK

I know that Oggy, it was the fact that flames appeared as well!!

The bonnie was a dream to ride but not much more reliable, that was traded for a Yamaha RD400...

...which is in bits in the shed awaiting renovation...

...it's going to be a retirement project the way things are going,

Nice one Kris, a little dark but very moody.

My B&W film stuff is nowhere near this competent, that and I use Fomapan 400!

I nearly bought a Duke 860 Desmo way back in 1979(ish).

When it was pulled from the show room for my test ride it refused to start.

The cloud of blue smoke curling from under the tank gave the dodgy electrics away.

I bought a T140V Boneville instead!

Except an MOT
She passed with flying colours thank you!

From the Punto on all FIATs have galvanised bodies so don't rust away like the old Mirafioris and their ilk.

I had to foray out to collect my son from work, no buses, no gritters and no roads..

..only ice..

guess what?

She got there, (5 miles!) up hill and down dale, and back again.

Just trade it for something with narrow wheels Barrie

A 2CV should do it.

How do you arrange the snow plough?!!!

It takes us all our time just to get past stuck/abandoned BMW/Mercedes/subarus!!

My little Punto may be 14 years old but she gats through most things.

Hey isn't the Pointless Thread a 'photography free zone'?
Not really, you can mention odd items and new toys aswell as of brand oddities.

I didn't see Frankie Boyle's show last night. I feel he's a little lost doing stand up for such a long time. That and it clashed with the wife's choice!

Apparently we have a fox in our garden, or one that passes through anyway!

The boss saw it this afternoon, and she knows a fox when sha sees one.

The weather's been bright all day but as the sun set the roads started to ice over,according to the beeb we're going to get snow again tonight, ah well...

Is your new toy, by any chance a DA 35mm F2.4AL TT?

(I may have missed an earlier post on this!:blush
