The day they took Sydney away
Sydney being transported away on a giant ship
We all know about the might of the Asian economic giants and how China will become the largest economy in the world in 20 years. Well they might want to buy some ready-made city CBDs with their wealth. This is how they would do it- carefully load the City onto a giant cargo ship and sail away!
That, by the way, is a view of Sydney from Milson's point across the harbour.

That's a sign in Delhi. But...wouldn't it make things worse to have an immoveable car in your space?

Triumph of the bike!
I have a friend who rides a 500cc Royal Enfield Bullet on our periodic rides around Sydney. It is British racing green in colour and precisely the bike I would have bought had I been a more hands-on biker.
He lusts after a Triumph Bonneville- one of the classic British road bikes that started life in the 50's (production stopped 1983). It's made a comeback and is a very desirable bike among riders of a certain vintage.
The Jethro Tull song: Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll- Too Young to Die! goes:
Other bikes once made by Triumph are also making a comeback. Here is the new Scrambler:

Personally, I like their cruisers, especially the Speedmaster.
The Jethro Tull song: Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll- Too Young to Die! goes:
He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville.
Counted his friends in burned out spark plugs
And prays that he always will.
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys
All of his mates are doing time
Married with three kids up by the ring road
Sold their souls straight down the line
