I'm heading up to meet Whunter!

He's close to my neck of the woods, so I'm heading up to meet him.
I'll take pictures if any are worth taking.

Knowing there are some language differences which have showed up I did assume it was an idiomatic expression not familiar to us...
So ' like forum member Delibes' would have been much different...
Now I wonder why he chose that handle...
That is sure a pretty wagon...

the site won't allow me to upload the timing chain speedo of him... it seems my camera refuses to upload, or display the shot...
this will have to do.
