Me?..............I'm just glad to be alive in the morning :shock:

Of rugged mountain ranges, of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons, I love her jeweled sea.
Her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me."

On May 23 (2020), I joined AP (with Side Car) and AutoClassic Wes on an early Saturday morning jaunt along the Canning River, over to Cottesloe, up the coastal dune and Stephenson Avenue to drop off young Wes to AutoClassic for an early start. Thanks for the coffee Wes :P

AP, from the fumes, the Chair is running on the rich side... Time to fiddle mit dem Bings...

I stopped to grab this Perth Skyline before the sun came up. Note to self: Must put a real camera with a 'long lens' in the bag...

Yes, indeed, there were a couple of yellow chalk stripes in the road, heading down Hay Street, "Gulp!"

Nice rainbow, Nev, fancy finding a Bavarian Cream R18, lurking under a bush at the base of that rainbow? :P

I reckon that the meter maid delaying tactics were something that had been undertaken before.
I reckon the boys had your back with a quick wheelspin and a delaying tactic happening concurrently! :lol: :lol:
