Stop eating parts of my house you little yellow-and-black bastard!

Waspish...

I had to stick this somewhere as it is so visually impressive – kinda puts my experiments with Tesla coils into perspective!

There’s a site that has the high res stills here. The site can be seen on Go0gle Maps here.

Wound up parking next to a 100-series today in Derby – the 100 is certainly a more modern look, but I still quite like the 80′s brickishness… Has to be said I quite like the 100′s alloys, but I’m not convinced they’d put up with the magnitude of the potholes round where I live

My 80 parked next to a 100

I’ve just been browsing through YouTube at some of the Yank diesel trucks, and one thing has struck me more than anything else: How on earth do people get so wound up over brand loyalty?

The amount of abuse people seem to get for proclaiming they prefer a Cummins to a Duramax or a PowerStroke is unbelievable, never mind the tirade of abuse the Jeep lovers appear to dish out to anyone who has the audacity to express a preference for anything else.

I guess as someone who’s owned three Land Rovers, a Nissan Patrol, a Dakar 4×4 and now a Land Cruiser, I appear to be baffled by this astonishing quantity of venom that’s released by particular brand proponents. Every marquee has its strengths as well as its weaknesses and at the end of the day it all boils down to personal preference. For goodness sake, people, grow up a little, won’t you?
