Great vid tuercas viejas, these guys/gals who fly these old DC planes in the inhospitable airways over jungles have my respect - they must have real BIG gonads in his case, I'm not sure the co p would appreciate them though. I did a PPL some years ago and flew C152, Gulfstream Cheetah and a Firefly. Not quite the same trauma though over the safe (ish) airways in the south of England and northern France. There were three airplanes I always wanted to fly or passenger in, a Spitfire or Hurricane, a Harrier and an F16, none of which I've succeeded in unfortunately. c'est la vie.

 

OK
Yes agreed
But what about this:-
My son thinks the Challenger is the best and is suitably impressed as a young man.

In all honesty I think those guys in the tank could have disposed of him for real within the first 20 seconds.

Good vid but it's ruined by that twit Jeremy Clarkson. Top Gear once was a realistic programme reviewing real everyday cars that ordinary everyday people could afford and drove but now it's fantasyland and not really that trick. Until I moved to France I used to live about a 10 minute drive from Dunsfold Aerodrome where they make Top Gear, it was once a WW2 fighter base then belonged to British Aerospace and now they make crass movies there.

Hendrix at Woodstock playing one you guys might recognise

 

Reminded me of a video I just saw the other day

 

Yes I agree they have lost their mojo but the article was funny to watch nonetheless.

Since you live in France you probably have a handle on the French language, so hows about the real off roading experience done as a daily level of human existence in Africa. This next clip makes American/Brit green laning and enforced trips to Moab as being just a bunch of Candy "arsed" weekend activities to talk about over a beer.
The DRC:-
Enjoy

That's not offroading tuercas viejas that's purgatory on wheels. Probably help if the trucks were in better condition and not so overloaded with rubbish goods.

It reminds me of a trip in the 90's between Kota Kinabalu and Sandakan in Borneo during the rainy season, the roads which had been washed away ran along ravines which had 1000+ ft drops and inches to spare. The problem was there were always logging trucks coming in the opposite direction which added to the hazards. We were in a Toyota Landcruiser. It was bad but nothing as bad as that and we covered 200kms in about 6-8 hours. Not a journey I would want to repeat.

 

Mellow night with Annie Lennox:

 

Good choice KernowDiscovery, like Annie Lennox she's a really great singer and very underrated unfortunately.

 

Annie Lennox - wow haven't heard her tracks in a while... shame... it's time to pull out those old CD's ... I'm definitely having a JOURNEY kinda day... Happy HUMP day ya'll.
