All you can make out is the white tropical roof and a little sand coloured bonnet.

Nice one CapeLandy - Your not to far from wear my Father in-law grew up. Forgot the name of the suburb (And probably couldn't pronounce it anyway ) but on the beach, north of Capetown. Sounds like you live in a lovely town.

Could be either Blouberg (BlueMountain) or Melkbos (milkbush).

By the way,I'm off to Zambia tomorrow at 6am for some work in a copper mine. Lovely country for the landy but unfortunately will be on the asphalt in an Avis Polo for 4 days.
Cheers

Can't get that close to home

Anyone know if its just subourbon areas that are that close?

Yeah it would be nice if Gippsland and High Country was a bit clearer. Would help with the trip planning!

I just had another look. The image must be over a year old. My IIA is still in my neighbour's yard - before he gave it to me. That means the Disco being worked on was before I took it to Derby last year. I guestimate the image to have been tsken in April-May 2007. I got the Series in July 2007. See Oh Dear! What am I going to do?

Using old pool water on the lawn

I pumped from the halfway down into the pool (I didn't buy enough flexible pipe to reach the bottom ).

We'll have to pump it out as the pool fence has been removed and we will be going away in two weeks time so we don't want water in it for reasons of safety.

Maybe straight into the gutter?

Grass doesn't look yellow in the pic.

I've found 3 of my Range Rovers, and a Morris Minor (with black out bonnet) .
It's fairly recent as we've only had the red Rangie for 18mths.
Disregard the home pin, it's there so it's not on top of the house.
