Cuba, Havana, 1954 Chevrolet
1954 Chevrolet on the streets of Havana.
Most of these old American cars actually have Lada engines nowadays, from when the Russians were here, as the original engines packed up years ago. And Chevy parts are somewhat difficult to get hold of here due to the American embargo. So the speed achieved by these cars can best be described as, graceful.

My advice? Don’t go. Nice old cars to look at but many derelict buildings. Some actually collapsed into the street while I was there.
My House, Harper Mill
Harper Mill built 1855 in Ashton-under-Lyne Tameside England.Known locally as Pickles mill, who owned it and had the name, ‘M PICKLES’ in large while letters high up, on the south wall.
The old cotton mill was devastated by fire and partially collapsed on the night of December 4th 1999. It never reopened.
Sailbridge Homes, turned it from a black hulk into 48 bright new apartments in 2004. Not all of the mill was saved and about a third was never rebuilt.
I moved here in November 2005.
