Overlayed the pictures. Looks pretty good I think….

Hmmm… just need some “Back to the Future” flaming tracks and I’m sorted.

Took the kids to Buxton Raceway on Bank Holiday Monday.  It’s a fantastic afternoon out. Adults £11 kids under 8 free, which worked out great for me.  As well as Formula 2 Stock Car racing, Super Bangers and Hot rods, they had a 10 car jump.  I was really chuffed with the pictures I took, so posted below….

Buxton Raceway is just off the Leek road near Buxton, UK:

About the 14th August, Microsoft released a beta version of Windows Live Writer.  A WYSIWYG offline editor for Blogging.  Initially designed to interact with Live Space, it now supports most blog servers that use the standard Blogging API’s.  Word Press is just one of them.

This article is written using Live Writer, which includes spell checking, full formatting. It even picks up the style sheet from your site.

You can even insert pictures, that automatically get uploaded.  Apply border styles, such as shadow or photo paper (above).

 This picture was taken at Cogolin, in france. 

The map was inserted from within the editor, which is integrated into Virtual Earth. (pity it’s not google earth, their images are higher resolution)
