    That is some set up ! I was in a store up the road from where i work , Its called audio excellence and only deals with high end systems so i can imagine what you've spent there. They had cables on the shelf for a couple of hundred bucks a metre ..

    Yes please viper....

    Yeah, you can get carried away... The speaker cable alone was £1k! Love me vinyl though.

    They are all fantastic... I hope to get as good as that! Not long bought a canon 70-200 f4L and a 24-70 to go with my 2 primes .... An addictive hobby!

    Dan, I'm not sure your shorty matches your skis mate.

    Si, the 70-200 f4L is a cracking lens. I used one at a wedding with a 5D and I swear it was brighter through the viewfinder than it was in real life. That last shot of the arrows is publish-able mate.

    All great in theory, but my issue is that I'm a lazy bastard LOL I love taking photos, but hate editing them. I refuse to shoot in jpeg, so I 'have' to edit the RAW file, I don't go to enough road race meeting to make up a substantial portfolio, living in NI means there's no BSB local to me plus I'm no good at setting up websites etc etc

    Thank for the positive comments, but it's just a hobby I get lucky with sometimes.

    Sorry Bill, I missed this one at the time. Power Kiting, what a rush.

    I've got a couple of 3m Highflyers Hawiian TeamSpirits and I know they're not really Flexifoil league power wise they've cured my constipation more than once or twice.

    Yeah love it, especially when those little yappy dogs chase them along the beach, usually with their owners laughing at the spectacle. I love thinking what that Kevlar string would do to their necks at 30mph.

    Yeh they certainly clear out the bowels and give you a mega workout...
    My main cure for constipation is my Flexifoil 4.9m Blade, i also use a 4.0m Radsail, a 3.0m Radsail, a 2.0m Radsail and a 1.8m HQ symphony for those really windy days...not forgetting Flexifoil stackers that are also good fun in big winds.
