One day in an intersection I waited opposite a big work truck with an enormous windscreen. Four men sat shoulder to shoulder and I imagined their reaction seeing me in a little two seat car.

I did a Europa and a Sprite version despite that I was sitting in a comparatively roomy ‘Zed Three’ BMW at the time of the incident.

I wanted to do “shiny”. The right clouds make for good imagery on the skin of a polished machine. Interesting how people see the same thing from their different vantages, even if they have opportunity to see the same way as those near.

I was constantly on the lookout for the right conditions to see how the sky plays out on the car. One day Cecilia was showing me her new skill on the bicycle and I seized on that moment to capture some photos of just such a sky.

In my experience, the classic car owners have been good helpful people. Here’s someone stranded on the shoulder getting help.

There’s a certain amount of work and attentiveness that comes with classic car ownership. Failing that, you need a big wallet and trusted shop.

I wanted to add the adoring gifters but I found that the concept worked out fine with just their generous beneficiary and a note.

Personally, I think most people can relate to this one. It’s appropriately called, . . .well. Guess.
