Top Gun moment during Three Amigos run. . . .

I was tired and nicely relaxed after our first NE run on Sunday. Cherrym was keen to do our mid week run out however as he'd not been able to attend on Sunday (the traitor had other responsibilities :D ) Craig was up for it so I found myself at our usual meet up point waiting for the pair of them and wondering how I'd find the day. . .

Well I have to say, the sun came out, we had blue skies, Cherrym chose some brilliant roads that were empty, beautiful, flowing and smooth - I pulled out happy to bring up the rear and still slightly jaded from all the excitement of Sunday but - within a few miles - we were all back on form (me included) and slicing through some fantastic scenery wrapped in a bright blue sky on wonderous roads and I was loving it! It was glorious and the roads so quiet - the traffic we did come across was despatched smoothly and we pressed on to more familiar stopping points but then headed out again on more isolated routes. It was brilliant.

As usual we had a long and indulgent stop for lunch - plenty to talk about and then a return on the routes we'd taken - they felt completely different and were just as thrilling and enjoyable on the way back. Another fabulous day only marred by yours truly. . . .

Best put perhaps, in the words of Tom Cruise in Top Gun: - " I only broke the hard deck for a few seconds, there was no danger, I saw the opportunity and I took it" :cry: :( :o :evil: :roll: and quite rightly the response should be "And broke a major rule of Z4 Forum engagement put there for your safety and the safety of other Z4 Forum members! :x "
I'd better make a formal apology to Chezsherman - Sorry mate won't do that again - don't know what came over me :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:

Chezsherman was last seen stomping off, holding a coffee mug,wiping his front down and shouting "I want some butts!" :lol:

Great day lads - I'll post some more photos later . . .

Yep - got the better of me :evil: - brilliant day though and I was so surprised - thought Sunday had wrung me out and I'd fancy a rest from the Zed - not on your life!

Ha - what a great idea - it might be thought of as part of your professional development - de-stressing techniques to help you manage with your work. Weekly doses - just need the sick notes and referrals. . . . . :lol:

I think we could all go sick with Double Vision, following those last 2 posts. :o

Nope - need to get to your optician for that - not going to help you get referred to the hooning therapy :P

Certainly did - knew we'd be making a few folk sick being out today - it really was a brilliant day :thumbsup:

Some more photos from the run - having a real problem with Photobucket - so slow to edit and I've max'd my storage so have to individually delete content - another slow and laborious job - anyone got any advice or suggestions to make the job faster?

Meantime here's what I can post:

Pay the $2.99 / month for additional storage... :evil:


... that's not meant to sound flippant, I kept hitting the storage & download limits and the $2.99 (£2) a month option is more than adequate

They all have flimper spec cars so that is not going to happen :evil:

Great trips in that area though :thumbsup:

Charming pvr :cry: Rather spend my dosh on getting out there on the road than be concerned with spec. . . . .hence my sign off :driving: :thumbsup:

But here's a special sign off for you pvr :P :evil:
 
Only pulling your leg :P

You sure get about in your car though, great to see.
 
That's a relief, I know you seem to go on a bit about flipper spec ( or is that something to do with dolphins? ) - but I really could do with some ideas about sorting out posting photos. Don't really want to be beholden to a company for storage and payment every month - just want to post on the forum. . . .there must be a more straightforward or more efficient way?

Or does everyone just pay up and shut up?

Anybody?

:driving: :thumbsup:
 
If you really don't want to pay anything, just create a new Photobucket account using a different email address - it can get a bit messy though as, over time, you'll likely end up with several accounts
 
flimper spec, not flipper :poke:

I get 20 Gb of storage on Amazon Prime as well, do you have that?

Tried setting one up via Steph's account - that's an option.

Where's the smiley with the fish hook in the lip - gotcha!

Something else to look into - Amazon Prime - had that pushed at me time after time - thanks I'll take a look.

:driving: :thumbsup:
 
but amazon prime charges too :?

whats the limit with photobucket, is flickr any more prolific with their allowances? I can't check from work :headbang:

IIRC the free PhotoBucket account gives you 2GB and limits downloads per month (every time people view a post linking one of your photos it counts towards the download allowance), the £2/month account increases this to 22GB with unlimited downloads
