Cassis Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Lucky Mr Cooperlola. As long as he's got you to carry it for him it looks like the only lens he'll need, most days! What body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 If he puts his mind (sic) to it, he could get to 5000 by tomorrow. Now, of course, he will take this as a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Smith Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 That's a significant bit of kit. Is he a pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 No, he isn't although he takes a mean pic! We awarded ourselves a retirement present each - his was the aforementioned camera, mine was a plasma telly and naturally that was only the start (Cooperlolas and their money are soon parted....)Funnily enough, he was buying a photography mag' in Smith's at Waterloo the other day and the sales assistant said "Are you a professional photographer?" "Er, no." "Oh, because you look like one!" (Must be the long hair and the beard.)Ooo, er, I see he's just forwarded me some info' about a 300 F2 which Aperture Photoraphic have for sale. I think not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 These are a few of my favourite old toys.SlowMerchant, our 70ft narrowboat. We covered as much of the inland waterways of the UK that we could. Some areas of the UK are unreachable because the boat is too long for the locks. We followed much of the route that R.J. Holt (the major player in saving the canals). We were also involved in the making of Waterworld series 1 and 2 for Central TV..

Hard to believe it had done so much off roading.[IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q99/ckenway/Jeep-1.jpg[/IMG] FastMy last race outing. After three heart attacks in two weeks they blighters took my race licence away and I can only drive it non competitive now. (It’s a modified Bowler Wildcat 200 with a 4ltr V8 twin supercharged engine 0-60 in 3.2 seconds with road tyres on a good road surface)[IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q99/ckenway/June2003.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 Quillan, cool or what. I've never fancied a canl boat, but I've still got my Jeep and I would love a Bowler. Could never afford one and Safari's would probably kill my back, so I went a bit slower in this....................[IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p211/Bugbear2/Daihatsu.jpg[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
