A folly of my earlier, formative years was having a rallycross-tuned Mini-Cooper. Super fun to use on icy, slippery and winding roads after snowfall. one could imagine being a Finnish driver like Timo Mäkinen zig-zagging through sharp bends with full throttle, and prolific concurrent use of the brakes. Very entertaining, if the experience of once in a while losing traction and driving off the road was not included.

i was reminded of these hilarious years when I spotted this car today,

This lockdown/curfew business in Spain is driving me nuts as most of the measures taken apparently contradict each other all the time...not the place to rant about it.

  In other spirits, I took today the D5/24-70mm 2.8 vr combination to walk around at night. What a combo!

P.E.: The image looses sharpness when uploaded to the site. I can all yours cleary. Maybe I´m doing something wrong?
  This is the low resolution file in case anyone wants to see the difference: https://www.dropbox.com/s/385kdxcud222a9q/web_2021%2001%2025_valencia%20Noche_panning_PacoVillalta-_D5P9205.jpg?dl=0

And here I stupidly enough thought the only candidate species for Jakov would commence with "C". Shame on me :(

Bananas, by the way, now are on my no-no food list. So didn't even think in that direction.
