Yet more photos

You can't beat blue skies for a great background to a photo. Am I getting carried away with them now? You've got yourself to blame. You said you liked them!

Here's a set from my week in Skiathos with Karen and one from a day out in Durham today with Quinn and my parents.

One set is stored with my .Mac Easily.co.uk account and one with my TypePad account. Both have their benefits and I think I prefer the TypePad system. I can't help thinking I need to decide on a permanent home for the photos. The more I put on either the more I have to move when I finally decide...

  1. Like the photos - wrt to the Mini - its an incredible buy - and although every car looses money - the depreciation is significantly better than 90% of cars on the road.

    I've a racing green Cooper, with white roof, white alloys etc. I've had it since last Nov - simply the best car I've ever driven.

    Four years ago I treated myself to a Golf GTI brand-new, on one of those 3 year deals. Admittedly, this was the big mistake. The second big mistake was *giving* it back to them after 3 years thinking I would never leave London and had no need for a car. Where am I now? Without a car. Oh well, I've still got my bike.

    I've been in one of the new Minis and have to admit they are nice cars.

    A friend of mine is one of the presenters on Fifth Gear. Ask him and he'll say the same - don't buy a flash car. Spend about 2k on some reliable and scrap it after a few years.

  2. Durham is a great place, we went up there right at the start of the year for the first time.

    I don't see any pictures from the top of the cathedral tower though Jake!!?? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt - it must have been closed :-) If you go again it's well worth it, the views are amazing from up there.

  3. The registration on the holiday Jeep is nearly appropriate. DOM ... or is it BOM ... ?

    Those woods look like South GA. Just add about 100 pine trees to the picture you took- heheheh- the underbrush just reminded me of Hinesville/Ft. Stewart area.

    Nice pics-

  4. Jake,

    You can't beat japanese!

    Forget this VW cr*p they are expensive for a acr that has poor reliability. Audi/Seat & Skoda are the same, they all use the same underpinnings.

    Trust me, my dad works for VW/Audi as a mechanic and he'd never buy one! He's wlays preffered japanese cars - he used to work for nissan as well.

    I tell you I picked up a nice Honda Civic VTI 1996, only had 25,000 on the clock for £3300. This baby will last forever and has more than enough power to keep up with the GTI's - but it also has fuel economy - it's only a 1.6 pushing out 160bhp at 7500 rpm!

    Get a jap mate! Honda, Toyota, Mazda or nissan!

    Skiathos is great. Not sure about Koukanaries though as it's at the other end of the island to Skiathos Town. If you get the bus in to town most nights, as we did, you'll spend longer on the bus. However, you'll be gauranteed a seat...
