    JDM AllStars Wembley 2010

    September 13, 2010 /

     

    The place ….. Wembley Stadium
    The event ….. the JDM AllStars Drift series – round 4

    The scene is set.
    For 2 days in late August the locals around London came to watch the 2 day specticle of a bunch of men skidding in their pants.

    I say that, but one of the skidders was just a boy …. of 13 (I kid[sic] you not).

    I went along to see what was occurring ….. waved my golden ticket (aka my NUJ card) at an Oompa Loompa, donned my fluro jacket and chased the cars up and down the carpark like a 14yr old chav princess looking for a DSS handout.

    Ok, not quite, but while I was there I took some shots of the action. Got some shots as well as totally drenched in a downpour … thank you Nikon engineers for creating cameras with better water sealing than a fish’s butthole.

    Did a small accompanying video … 5 minutes of HD goodness. Grab a cuppa and a biccy and enjoy 🙂
    As always – feedback and/or comments welcome

    Otis the Guide Dog

    September 8, 2010 /

    Quick post today …..

    This handsom wee devil is Otis.
    Otis is a puppy with the Guide Dogs for the Blind that I helped sponsor with all the proceeds I received from the Sun newspaper of Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protests.

    Otis is now in his second stage of training as he graduated from ‘puppy school’ early and is now on the lead with his new trainer Ian and is ahead of his training schedule.

    I get regular updates from GDFTB and it’s good to be reminded on occasion of the things we’re doing to help others are making an impact. Even if I only sponsored 1 paw of a complete dog, it’s a great feeling to be part of something special and it’s something positive following the G20 protest.
