I WILL get in on this one!! I overlook Victoria Station so often see the steam train, I have Airplanes go past every other second as well as a number of huge helicopters!

So, chances are it will be none of the above haha.

 

[brewby55]

Hopefully there's plenty of options out there, and with lighter nights more chances to get out and about.

I hope to get in on the action too. A good climate & no road-salting has a legacy of some lovely old classics (and some not-so-nice ones) still in daily use.

I'll get snapping as soon as the rain stops

Re: April's submission thread.

Love the subject @brewby55 E types in that condition must be quite a rarity these days, did you notice if the interior was as pristine as the outside ?

Re: April's submission thread.

Thanks, the inside is pristine, these guys are married to their cars, will post some others up on another thread

She's a beauty- especially given her Glaswegian origins! And is that an early '70's Hillman Minx/Hunter behind it by any chance?

It is a Hunter, there was a Minx there though

Does the photo have to be recent? I've got one I took last June

Fraid so, it needs to have been taken in the current competition month, and using the theme for the month

Not a collector's item as such- things like this are frequently in daily use here.

Looks in good condition for a daily run around, it's a Volvo Amazon from about 1960 going by the grille, but this model was amde from 1956 to 1970 with not many body style changes, so it is at least 44 years old and maybe 54 years old or more !!

Noooooooooooooo! Was just about to submit one... Damn.

Too late I know, but let's see what it looks like. Taken with the iPhone, I was focusing on a strange Electric car but I then realised it was a good shot to play with using Tilt Shift.

@Goldberg Have you seen the lensbaby project on kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lensbaby/creative-focus-lens-for-iphone

 

[brewby55]

I like messing around with tilt and shift in photoshop

Is the electric car the one that looks like it's reversing towards the taxi?

 

[Goldberg]

Yes the white one. It is a French car called a MIA Mia electric vehicles - UK Electric Cars

My bad was awaiting a PM re one of the entries. Will sort out the vote ASAP, and I'll set this month's subject.
