    I will try from a different supplier. If the cable looks the same I will definitely make something indestructible you could tow the car with (and of course make it available at dino246.com)

    I took mine out for a spin this morning - about 35 miles on Cotswold back roads and very little traffic, so a thoroughly enjoyable run. She was really flying!

    I am not sure I understand. Do they come out different if I use the new format?

    OK, now I know what's going wrong. Originally I copied and pasted from Google Photos. I assume that I could see it because it was on my GP, but nobody else could. The last one I downloaded from GP to my computer and uploaded to this site. Seems I'll have to stick to doing it that way in future. Pain!

    Here are the other two:

    i bought modern sports cars the last three years, and they've taken up most of my driving time. I thought I would put on traditional mesh-back gloves this morning and drive the Dino for a change. There is a quick acclimatization needed, but what a treat the Dino was. The major difference is that the steering, the controls are all so direct, compared to modern cars. The Dino is so NICE.

    Image Unavailable, Please Login Even the clocks are analog and have to. be wound up, the stopwatch's buttons pushed. The tactile feel, the audible clicks are so nice and much missed. And one doesn't have to go through a menu to set the time or start the timer.

    What? No one has driven their Dino and taken a photo of it over the last 6 weeks?

    Sadly no. Unfortunately I have not been able to get up to our house in GLOS., where the Dino lives, since late September. I am scheduled to go there this weekend, however, so if the weather holds, I hope to take the Dino out for a run. Maybe the last of the year, before it gets tucked up from the winter, far away from salted roads.

    I did, however, take my 550 out this morning, so perhaps a photo of that will go some way to compensate for not having one of my Dino today.

    That red Vauxhall is a small car but the Dino is just a toy next to it.
