Las Vegas 2012
Having worked 24/7 from the start of October until the end of January (except for 4 days over Xmas) due to a colleague's illness, I had plenty of spare money to spend on a trip to use up my remaining week of holiday time.
So I went to Las Vegas and won loadsamoney due to skill and cunning, not luck. I stayed at the Monte Carlo hotel as I could get a suite for the cost of a normal room at the more fashionable hotels.
Misc Pictures:
Cars and Coffee Las Vegas - A Car meet in a strip mall parking lot in a suburb.
I took a stroll along the old railway line to the Hoover Dam:
A guided hike in the snow around Red Rock Canyon:
The picturesque Neon Boneyard:

The traditional Good Friday opening to the Car Show scene held at Aldershot's Rushmoor Arena, within walking distance of my flat. Mostly American cars, but with plenty of other interesting motorcars.

Le Mans 2010
Yet another trip (#14?) to La Sarthe for a week of cold drinks and watching motorcars.
We had a decent crew of attendees this year, 6 in our sub-group who camped which 6 of Marshy's comrades plus meeting at the weekend with Dickie, Lucy, Martin the Plumber etc.
Despite forecasts of rain we managed to time movements so we were indoors or under canvas when the heavens opened.
Photos include Friday roadtrip out to the Classic British Welcome at St. Saturnin and the Hotel de France in Chartres-sur-le-loir.
We race itself seemed like it was going to be a Peugeot whitewash after they got the first four places on the grid, but dull German reliability won out with Audi taking the whole podium as each French car dropped out.

South Africa Trip Day Twelve
Today we went to Ngwenya Glass to watch some glass blowing (no cameras allowed for some reason) and then to Malotja reserve for a pootle around the tracks and admiring the view whilst eating petrol station pies.
According to the entry log at the reception we were the only two visitors inside the 4,500 acre park today.
