    Despite the obvious temptation to do a Nad style photo-reportage, the 100 mile drive was covered in less than 2 hours and I needed two hands on the wheel. The Porker is manual, of course, so, photos are out of the question. The return journey was 20 minutes shorter.

    The watch was a homage but entirely appropriate ...

    Wonderful, thanks for sharing.

    The greatest compliment, IMHO, is to say that I found this post as visually appealing as a certain previous one with a theme centered on olympian beach volley...

    Cheers!
