This is my car (A nissan Note) at the front of a queue of about 200 bikes at Ramsey hairpin waiting for the mountain to be cleared. After about 2 hours we were off, with me in the lead.....Most of them had passed my within a couple of miles, but I did another lap at 5:30 the next morning and only got passed by 2 bikes...so I'm claiming a third place.

The Menin Gate in Ypres. There's 54000 names of Commonwealth soldiers who disappeared on the battlefields nearby, tens of thousands are Australians. Since 1926, the locals play the Last Post here every night at 8

A typical evenings supplies in France. Lot of people don't like the French but they've got the right idea about lifestyles with their two hour+ lunchbreaks/siestas and great food.

I'm surprised that camera survived the TT mate. Went on to take some really good shots mate. The cider shot is outstanding. That "wagon de la love" looks quite classy as well mate. Did you have to fight the french chicks out of there every night?
