Decided, this will be our every day driver. It’s a brilliant small car, ideal in these times for parking in busy cities, unfortunately its not a hybrid or electric, but sill very efficient. Developed directly from world rally activity with Tommi Mäkinen Racing. It reminds a little of the 6R4 and…
Out of window today, looks like the break water for the reclaimed land is being constructed. Although it’s difficult to know as the trucks seem to deposit dirt, and then the next week collect it and move it somewhere else. More pictures here.
After visiting the UK from Hong Kong, I have now returned to HK for work, but before I can do any work, I have to spend two weeks isolated in my own apartment to ensure I am free of COVID-19. I travelled 4 weeks ago and Hong Kong airport was…
Collected the Nomad from the factory on Wednesday. Was an absolute glorious day for collection, arguably too hot, however this soon changed to rain later. Really impressed with the factory and the hand over from Henry. He was very meticulous and witty at the same time. Fortunately, Andrew my son…
I don’t take my camera every day on walks. This one I did and you will see how clear the Hong Kong skies are without the factories working. Sad to see the beach in Mui Wo shut down and enlightening to see the huge spiders spinning their webs.
Hike to Mui Wo on the 21st June 2020 in pictures.
2 August 2020: Nomad is now complete, except for the exhaust guard. Will be collected any day now. COVID-19 as we know has affected many. One such item is the Ariel Nomad I ordered over 2 years ago. Well fantastic to report it’s now in production and I anticipate delivery…
These pictures are from the 29th floor in apartment block. In front of Century Link they are reclaiming land which looks somewhat waterlogged after and during the storm. You can see reclaimed soil, washing away into the sea. This story is from the South China Morning Post: Flash floods across…
Short hike with two friends to local playwark then Handi Restuarant.
This was the last EVO I bought, having previously had a brand new EVO 6 GSR on launch into the UK and a VII. Awesome cars for the period in time that they were launched into and still hanger after one today.
Nigel May of Nimrod fame has just started a Maritime Facebook Group and its fascinating to see pictures from the period I was on Nimrods (1979-89). It’s also interesting to see the maritime escapades before and after my time on Nimrods, right until the end in 2010. This Facebook group…
Owned this car for 3 years and is another I should have considered keeping, seem to be prone to making mistakes. Fitted with an LSD and of course the 6.2 NA V8. In that time I covered only around 14,000 miles and this was in the last year as I…
A hike from my apartment to Tai-O. Could not believe how much rubbish is on the seashore, China, India, Bangladesh and all the other culprits need to stop discarding their rubbish into our Oceans.
Just more picture on route from Tung Chung to Mui Wo.
Home in the Spring (pictures taken by my wife). The majority show Stubton Hall (wedding venue) and the remainder on Brandon Road towards the Crossroads. Under normal circumstances I would have most probably have taken the photographs, unfortunately Covid-19 is getting in the way.
I was invited by Marcel Van Houten and Jamie Day to run my inaugural Hash run in North Lantau organised by the South Lantau Hash House Harriers. This will be probably the last for a while as groups more than 4 people are no longer allowed by the Hong Kong government…
Pictures of the sequence of reclamation in front of my apartment in Tung Chung, Lantau, Hong Kong. Visit this website for more information: https://www.cedd.gov.hk/eng/about-us/organisation/slo/index.html
On Wednesday, with three other friends, Jason, Marcel and Jamie and I walked up the steps behind Caribbean Coast, Tung Chung upwards towards Sunset Peak. Fortunately, for my weary legs there was an option to turn left to Pak Mong village and avoid going all the way to Sunset Peak….
