While I was doing some bodging, a wild Xantia V6 appeared and parked up to say hello.

Very nice chap who owns it. He recommissioned it, changed a strut top, sorted a plethora of leaks and so on.

He even gifted me one of these!

He had two in the boot! This'll be rather handy. Very, very kind of him.

New Zealand railways have lost a train, actually a bit of one. At the Picton rail yards they have (or used to have) a remote controlled engine. It was supposed to push a wagon onto the ferry to Wellington, So off it trundled over the ramp to the ferry. There was no ferry there and the result is ..... how do we lift a Locomotive out of the sea ? It weighs about 20 tonnes, the tank wagon can be seen floating happily.

Oil spill response operation underway after shunt train falls into Picton Harbour (msn.com)

Update.....Locomotive that fell into harbour back on dry land 'where it belongs' (msn.com)

Seen personally by me. Granny ran out of electricity on her mobility scooter, so she needed to get home. What's better than having someone tow her home. why look! here comes little Johnny on his Harley. And someone had some rope. As I went past Granny and Harley/Johnny were setting off down the highway.  Granny was looking a wee bit apprehensive, but Johnny was behaving.

Corporate head office, or someone else has sent us a new car to replace our Hyundai Sonata which was liked by everyone.

They have done well................................

It is a 1997 model Km's unknown but I will guess several hundred thousand.

EDIT.....A check on car jam shows it had done 270.000km in 2019

I've seen some amazing model railways built by skilled model makers , so realistic 

This isn't one of those 🤣 , I think he's overpriced it by 10x

I once saw a model village catch fire, was awful to see, you could see the flames from 10 feet away
