Beautiful Moments, Part TwoLast week I saw a helium balloon cross the road at the lights on a perfectly timed gust of wind. Today I saw four people trying to get into a GWiz electric car. They failed.
What's the best thing you've seen recently?

AirborneOn the way home from work there is a particular stretch of country lane where I can sometimes get a nano-second of 'air'.
I drive a 2.9 ton L200 animal pick up truck, so its a beast.
The road is very twisty and turny, plus it undulates a lot too.
I have to, on the high bit before the dip before the jump, check and see that there is nothing coming the other way. Then move across to the wrong side of the road, then floor it.
The camber of the road is such that you have to be on the right side, and turning slightly right.
I recon I get about 3mm of air, just enough for the engine to roar as only the finest 2.5ltr turbo diesel can.
The cows and sheep all look dead impressed at my amazing awesomeness, all in my own head, of course :)
