Porsche 911 GT3


Essentially a track-ready version of Porsche's iconic 911 sports car.  This one is 1/18 scale by AUTOart.

Very nice!  :-)

More on the Canon G11/S90...Fuji F70EXR

Saw multiple sample pictures online shot at various ISO settings from the Canon PowerShot G11, the Canon PowerShot S90 and the Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR.

The Canons are remarkably good, but they're not good enough that I'm going to run out and buy one of them.  The Fuji is disappointing, even for a pocket-sized camera (which are well known to have image compromises to reach their compact body dimensions), and perhaps more so because Fuji pushes the "EXR" technology as being so superb...and charges a premium for it.  Well...it isn't premium image quality, so I am not impressed.

Bottom line?  Ain't nothing there, among all three, that is going to make me rush out and buy one.

GRAN COUPE

1971 Plymouth Barracuda Gran Coupe

Yep, it has a 383 V8 under the hood, roof console and even a (real metal) luggage rack.  Very nice!

Enchanted Forest

On Sunday, my family went to Enchanted Forest.  It's a small theme park located in Turner, OR...which isn't very far from Salem.  It's just off I-5, if I remember correctly.

Anyway, it was a GREAT day!  Check out my links section and click on "Skullcrafts Blogspot" for pictures.  :-)
