Trucks (and Super Trucks)

Warning, this is a VERY picture heavy post!

TRUCKS.....

I wasn't even going to try this challenge, but then I realised we would be spending the weekend at QR. That is Queensland Raceway for those of you uninitiated.

There are always heaps of trucks, transporters, new trucks, old trucks,' working' trucks, those that are just for show. what gets me is there always seems to be some blokes standing around looking at them. let's face it, they are just TRUCKS!

This next one made me chuckle.... a truck with a 'back deck' complete with lounge. Funny thing was, look closely, there is a guy reclining on the lounge. I didn't see him until I was looking through the camera view finder!

ok, now we move onto part 2 - SUPER TRUCKS! What makes a super truck, beats me. But they race them. Or they did this weekend.

Let me tell you watching trucks race is b.o.r.i.n.g. Just my opinion of course. And the smell! Tyre rubber, fuel, who knows what else. Not carbon neutral I can tell you.

But yet again, line 'em up and you get blokes standing around! I have cropped them out as much as possible.

Well done, if you have made it this far. Below is one 'in action', in situ shall we say, zooming 'round the track. See all that black stuff coming out the back...... not environmentally friendly at all. I'm just sayin'.......

Bicycles

A bit of a mix here.... My daughters bike, a gift from Santa a few years back, but hasn't been ridden a while...far too cold for her!

The boys spend most of their time on their motor bikes, enjoy riding through the mud!!

And a miniature, under my lemon-scented Darwinia.

Bye for now

Bridges

I'm back well I hope I am.
Took this on the way to the gym this morning and let me tell you it was B******** freezing.

Spikey Bridge

'Spikey Bridge' built back in the 1840's by convicts. This bridge is no longer used, but is a popular tourist spot here on the east coast of Tassie.

I LOVE RAIN

but when I need to go to work I have roads like this to travel on.............they sure do make me go uurrrr...........(and sometimes all over the road and off it too but we won't go there)

this kangaroo would make me go UURRRRR if he jumped out in front of me and I hit him when driving along..............thankfully I saw him with plenty of time and he moved off out of my way..........he is very dark this guy............
