Taken with a friend's Nokia 6230i.
This car, the wild little Ariel Atom, has close to a superbike-type power-to-weight ratio, and this one is in 220bhp format:

@popsy - Neva saw that Wild Hogs flick yet matey . . . but I'm sure my REAL Dad has a DVD of it here somewhere .. .
I like that TV-series, YES, the American Chopper . . how they BUILD bikes from scratch . . . though what I just don't like is that the style f the bikes they BUILD are like that of the Harley's  . . why don't they make my type: Sports Bike 
That car-shot-image taken from a Nokia 6230i is sharp mate . . . that's only a 1.3 MP camfone right Like your Nokia 3230 back then? How come it captures SHARPER photos compared with your 3 MP - N73 mate  !

Yeah Jojo, it does have pretty much the same cam as the Nokia 3230 that I had a while back, and as you remember it took pretty decent pics.
The camera module that Nokia used in that range of phones, for a sub-2mp cam, was/is surprisingly good.

I caught the tail-end of a report on the television about protesting on the N2, saw some highly agitated people making themselves heard. Will keep my eyes peeled for that story boet. There was a horror smash here yesterday afternoon, 6 primary school kids killed, 14 injured, 3 of them critically when their minibus taxi rolled. It happened a few hundred metres from one of the malls where we were shopping, heard all the sirens heading through. The only blessing, if one can call it that, is that the guardrails stopped the taxi from blikseming off the bridge altogether. As it is, it collided with the abutment after decapitating a lamppost. As i understand it, the driver walked away unscathed... but late last night the families of some of those kids had allegedly torn his house to shreds in retaliation.

@ Jojo,
It is empty.  LOL, I've slowly been replacing the standard bolts around the bike with high-grade stainless steel ones and some titanium ones, and the tank is currently off as I'm replacing the stuff.
There's nothing wrong with the new standard mild steel ones, but the British Winter will soon be here and although the standard bolts have a protective coating of sorts, I'd rather get the best that I possibly can.

Found this article on www.iol.co.za this morning:
Heavy cellphone use 'can slow human brain'
Amsterdam - Dutch scientists have found that frequent use of cellphones leads to slower brain activity but that users' capability to focus on specific issues increases, it was reported on Monday.
The study on the long-term effects of cellphone usage was published in the September edition of International Journal of Neuroscience.
The study was conducted by the Radboud University of Nijmegen and Brain Clinics Diagnostic, a group of independent Dutch scientists doing individual brain research and applied scientific functional brain research.
The scientists compared 100 frequent cellphone users with 100 non-users and another group of 100 people who use cellphones infrequently.
The frequent cellphone users are people who use their cellphone very often and have been doing so for several years.
The phenomenon of decreased brain activity among cellphone users resembles the process that occurs in the brains of Alzheimer's patients, the researchers say.
But, main researcher Martijn Ans said, brain activity of Alzheimer's patients tends to be extremely low. Among cellphone users, the lower brain activity is still within "normal" ranges, he added. - Sapa-dpa'
