As winter draws in for the Northern Hemisphere, and the long days of Summer for the Southern, another picture puzzle has been added to the side column to keep you busy.  It's harder than the first, with more pieces, so if you haven't done the first picture puzzle - start with that one!!

Today please welcome Ruth Corbin and YT 3245 to Ys on Parade. Sadly Ruth is now unable to keep this car and is looking to sell it.  It is a rarer than rare YT/EXU being 1 of only 29 ever made.  If you are interested in purchasing the car contact can be made through David Pelham.
