Well now that my bike has a new chain and sprockets I can take part, although I have never heard of Ralphie May. Brian and James, sure.... in fact there is a Top Gear Festival taking place here soon.... pity it's only in June, I'm sure if I had The Stig, James, Jeremy and Richard with my bike that would be worth something!

Gimme an M.... I was riding out to the track and saw this Mosque on the skyline, it is a stunning building and isn't quite complete yet.

It's getting late and after some Heineken's my math and typing skills are waning.

The 5 on 5 Super Secret Bonus Point goes to Andz.

I was looking for the most 5's in pictures submitted today.

acniss has 2, phranK2k11 had 3, GTPAddict had 4 and Andz had 6.

Andz has 5 of those weird fruit things, a 5 on his tach, 5 twice on the CD, a go cart was #5 and Fuji Film was numbered CA 135.

Congratulations on winning the very first SSBP, Andz.

Let this be a lesson to all participants. Don't just take a snapshot of your bike with the item listed. Look around. You might be able to score a combo platter or a multiple item shot. And there might be SSBP's in it for you.

P.S.

Andz,

I know you live in some far away, mystical land with kangaroos and polar bears, but what the f*ck is "film"?

Seriously? Well despite insulting me by intimating I live in the land of kangaroos, film is what went in a camera in the days before digital.

This can't be a serious question..... :spank:

I have to take advantage of this fantastic weather because winter tends to come overnight here!

# 9 Beer: I raided my cap collection, okay Crabbie's is ginger beer but Windhoek and Castle are local brands here, and for good measure I added a can of Zambezi from Zimbabwe :thumbup:
