Woken up to the sound of rally cars...

[daemonoid]

This morning I was woken up by some rally cars dicking about in the street outside my flat:

By the time I got outside they were warming up a single seater:

And eventually busted out the GP2 cars:

(watch out for the camera man falling over in the last one)

A little later on I took the classic fiat 500 out in the hope of getting a part in the filming.

While that didn't happen I was photographed and filmed by the assembled crowd so look out on youtube for someone pootling about on the same streets

nice must be for some sort of sporting advertisement or some shit. it'd be the only way a Qashqai could remain in front of them!

Looks nice, just like the disused docks in Liverpool.

yeah it does go strangely well, in Glasgow they're just ripping down anything that looks old and replacing it thanks to the commonwealth games, cue roadworks everywhere and diversions till 2013 etc.


if it aint broke - dont fix it. i'd like to have some interesting things like your steelworks still standing years from now

I hope you remembered your British roots (are you British?). You should have been out there complaining about the noise and telling them to pack it in

Or for wheelchairs, can't imagine they have that soft a suspension to manage those steps..

[daemonoid]

Yeah, paddy got it right - there's a bridge behind it that leads to the top of the steps. The first pic I posted does have a set of steps with a park bench and nothing else on top though.

My flat is in a block that has a roof garden, so I come down stairs onto a roof that is still 2 3 floors up. From there I can see into the glass roof of the shopping centre below.

The old steel works are being preserved as a museum - I'm looking forward to the sky walk opening - they'll take you on a tour about 10-12 floors up on grated metal walkways.

The whole area is definitely an architect's wet dream...
