This is not a challenge - it is a reply to Graeme.

You did?! Show me...you joined the stars to create the Boomerang profile?
Am I correct?

I'm still wondering why nobody else did.

The challenge has nothing to do with the Mustang, but you are forgiven for thinking that way.

I spent hours looking at Graemes Xmas challenge and getting nowhere. I seem to remember doing the same last year with one that turned out to be a Lightning...

I think the LM silhouette is the Tsunami Pylon Racer...

Thanks LM that would be cool...
Our IT department have yet again excelled themselves by blocking Photobucket, just after I managed to sort something out...

I'm having one of those weeks folks going into hospital, folks coming out of hospital, kids having school/work/transport problems and to top it all my car has decided to empty the oily contents of the gerbox into the bellhousing/clutch!

Anyone got a gearbox for a Peugeot 206..?

Good evening all
Just catching up on whats been going on.
Most importantly, David, sorry to hear you've been in hospital. Hope all is ok?

Christmas challenges - have to confess I have no idea how you work these out. Evidently I am missing something. Guess its a perception thing?

Looks like you're right on the Cuckoo one11

Good evening team.

Christmas challenges - have to confess I have no idea how you work these out.
Take the image into Photoshop or similar image editing software and invert. This makes black white and white black. Then print a few copies.

Sit at desk with pen and start connecting dots.

If you examined Graemes' clue, it was rather obvious that he was referring to an Abbo boomerang. Get CAC Boomerang profile drawing and try to make it fit. I almost got it right.

As for the latest challenge - I know the answer since I posted it on behalf of John.

However, only he should therefore confirm or not. If that has not happened in, say, an hour or so then I shall do it to avoid thread stall.

I'll believe you David....your's just turns different shades of blue, or grey, if I convert to b/w! I'll stick to silhouettes I think
Back to the UK tomorrow, weather permitting.
