No one was causing any rioting ( I did think about it but I'm far too lazy !) So the Civil defense force ( all volunteers) decided to roll a car and torch it !

Hi, today I went to Bad Kreuznach/D, on the river Nahe :
There used to be a quicksilver mine :
Bad Kreuznach is a spa with several graduation works. Saltwater evaporates creating air used for treating respiratory diseases :
There was a vintage vehicle event :
The weather was rather mixed :

This Heron was posing by a bridge on Bedford Embankment today, after all afternoon I guess it needed to do some stretches.

A trip back in time today on the dog walks. First stop is the 12th century Chapelle de Bois Du Rat Chapel of the Wood of Rats. Probably earlier than the stated date.
Then a Sacrificial Stone used by the Celts prior to the Roman Period and latterly utilised by the Romans who would leave corpses on the stones to pollute the spring water.
Then a quick hop back to the Neolithic Period. This Menhir is a bit unusual in that it is around 16 feet high, weighs around 23 tonnes and is still standing after 3,000 - 5,000 years.
The last photo is of a granite stone estimated to weigh 120 tonnes that is balanced on smaller stones. And nobody knows how or why?
All taken on my Leicasonic V-Lux.

Hi, I am in a similar situation. The car is worth around €4000 now. Restoring it fully (paint, brake lines, gear box cooling lines) would cost roughly the same.
So, I am planning to run it till I get a new car, or till my wife has her new PASSAT delivered and I would use her current one as a stop gap.
The E430 is a good car, and I really do not like selling it to a used car salesperson. It was the perfect car for my requirements, and parting with it after over 20 years
will not be easy. I thought it would last longer, but Mercedes quality is not what it used to be ... ---
