It is called a painkiller rum, creame of coconut, pineapple juice and orange juice, and toasted coconut to rim the glass! Tasty tasty
robplum: looks like might lead to warm comfort happygolucky4u...nice picture
I must admit it can turn a bad day into a better one
Merriweather: Looks interesting Happy...
I did not drink the decades I was married so I have spent the last five years trying different drinks. Some are real yukky Some are real pretty and tasty and those are the ones that you must be careful with, that would be this drink. The place that serves them only will sell you two. Greedy people at that place

Hey Happygirl , that sounds lovely... on a hot summers night..
looking at the exhaust pipe on the car its got pretty big engine and they'll outrun the rain then maybe they will both start smiling
What really gets me about this photo (besides the car) is the passenger with the expression "What are you looking at?" Maybe you should be in a Pryus and nobody would notice.
Elfin was made for racing. Although this type was made for the Alpine Touring (road racing) in Europe as well as competing in the Sports category. So low to the ground that there was no room for the exhaust underneath but directly out side. That large exhaust system was probably needed for being street-legal noise stuff.
Elfin Sports Cars Pty Ltd is the current name of the car company which was founded by Garrie Cooper. It has been an Australian manufacturer of sports cars and motor racing cars since 1957.
Elfin is the oldest continuous sports car maker in Australia and one of the most successful with 29 championships and major Grand Prix titles. The original factory was located at Conmurra Avenue, Edwardstown in suburban Adelaide, South Australia. The company is currently located is at Braeside, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia.

Well, I guess that look was aimed at me.. I was the one with the camera, on the other hand, why pose if you don't want to be looked at...??
robplum: oh ok, looks quick yeah i was commenting on the passengers expression
Me too. And I know which photo is most likely to get my vote this month. It has so many elements. The driver does not give a rats ..... (or look at me), the passenger is "what are you looking at?" and a very big YES as I would love to have it.
I have a 1971 ex-Army Land Rover Sies 2a that was one of the last of that model used by the Aust Army (or produced). When I drive it, I want people to turn their heads to look at a bit of our history. Yeah, it does look like to most people like every other Land Rover that made an impact on so many people world wide. It is still the most recognised vehicle world wide. And 75% of all/ever made are still registered on the road. And probaly much more still being used in one form or another.
But mine is special to me because it was one of the last of that model.

Only a bloke interested in cars would have known all that info..
I just thought, oh.. a toy car.. sorry, had no idea it was something special...
The Micro Four Thirds system is now very well-established, with a lot of excellent lenses on offer from Panasonic and Olympus that cover almost all of the popular focal lengths. You can also use regular Four Thirds lenses or even Leica D lenses via optional adapters from either Panasonic or third-parties, but lenses that are not compatible with the GX7's Contrast AF function can only be used with manual focusing and cannot use the Tracking AF, AFc (Auto Focus Continuous) or Continuous AF functions.
But unlike every other Panasonic compact system camera, the GX7 also offers image stabilisation built-in to the camera body too, a surprising but very welcome development. Panasonic were keen to point out that this is of benefit for Leica lens owners, but obviously it applies to lenses from heir main rival, Olympus, too. At a stroke, you can now fit any Olympus Micro Four Thirds lens to the GX7 and benefit from image stabilisation. When an optically stabilised lens is fitted, the GX7 defers to the lens rather than using the body-based system (you can't manually choose between the two), with Panasonic stating that the optical image stabilisation supplied via the lens is still the best system - but crucially no longer the only one. If you fit a non-stabilized lens, you need to enter its focal length from 8mm to 1000mm via the main menu system to benefit from the body stabilisation system.
my older E500 camera lens could be fitted to my newer OM-D camera, however i'd need to also get an adapter to fit them, a cheap one cost round $60, however the cameras auto-focusing (AF) wont work with the lens, i'd only be able to therefore use MF. A dearer adapter that would work with the E500 Zuiko lens cost (the adapter) $500 + that however would enable AF. Worse still using an adapter takes away the cameras and lens, water proofing, anti-freeze features.
