Christine
Two more of the classic cars, these old beauties remind me of the evil car in Stephen King’s novel Christine – the car that killed people.
The tin monster
There is a John Deere dealership that I drive past everyday on the way to work, and I have been wanting to take a few shots of the tractors for ages. Ok, so I would love to drive one, but I will settle for taking a photo or two. This HDR shot is of the 7930 tractor that was sitting in the field.
He reminds me of a mix between a Stephen King novel, and the tractors in the movie Cars (and yes this tractor is a he). Although he does not look that big, this guy a monster. The back wheels are bigger that I am, and you have to climb a short step-ladder to get into the cab. He probably digs holes even faster that Emily!
My knowledge of tractors is basically nothing, so here is some info if you want to find out more.

4 CommentsSteam Trains in Cape Town
Believe it or not, Cape Town still has a steam train or two in operation. This particular train belongs to Atlantic Rail, and they run a service every Sunday from Cape Town to Simonstown and back. She is a Class 24 locomotive (No. 3655), and is so majestic as she drives past.
At R220 per person it is an expensive trip, but it still looks like a very civilised way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
You can book or find out more details on the Atlantic Rail website.

An old steam engine at Gold Reef City in Johannesburg that has been restored (at least to look nice and bright, I doubt that it still goes). I still like the bright colours.
