This was from a Ferrari open day at a country house

A couple from Thruxton British Touring Car racing weekend and support races - really enjoyed this, should try and go back someday

and a few of my previous cars - usually like to take a few snaps when I get a new one

2003 WRX with a few mods - sadly had for not long enough, wife didn’t get on with the manual gearbox:

2006 Z4 coupe - had a later model with folding hard top too, but I had a soft spot for this one

E46 M3 - again didn’t own for long as although it was a semi auto, wifey couldn’t easily drive it. Sounded gorgeous

Citroen Ami 6 (circa 1964)

The car is almost as good looking as the lady next to it, did you get her number? ?

Think it’s time to ditch the wife, if you want to be truly happy

Think it’s time to ditch the wife, if you want to be truly happy

nah - you live and learn. We agreed in advance any BMW needed to be automatic so she can drive it and I thought the m3 SMG would be ok. It wasn’t so I moved on. The Impreza I could have kept a bit longer as she had her own car by then butwe just had a child and she thought it not practical

My '14 Dodge Charger R/T AWD, just back from the shop after a five month long wait for the engine to be rebuilt. The last thing they did is take it to a detailer for a cleaning, paint correction, and sealing.

The exterior is bone stock. All the goodies are in the engine compartment and underneath. Supercharger, cam, high flow fuel systems, and long tube headers.

Unfortunately, our ½ mile long dirt/gravel driveway was seriously dusty from a three-week stretch of high temps and no rain. So it goes.

And then, of course, it started raining again, rather unexpectedly, the very next day. The crops and the lawn really needed it.

Worked better than doing a rain dance!

No idea why the engine bay is sideways...

First attempt at paint correction.

Vintage car show France. Citroen Maserati circa 1973 and Citroen DS

I have had 2 Citroens, an ID19 that rusted out, my wife went around a corner and the left rear door fell off! Then I got a used DS21 Pallas, headlights turned with the steering, great cars, no better ride. I used to take friends for a ride and drive off the road way, you hardly noticed the difference. Everybody thought the cars were ugly, I really liked them.

The photographer may use driving shots, panning shots for blur, or a variety of other techniques to realize movement in their stills.

Here's one of my brother-in-law's that I took. My wife's Jeep Wrangler makes getting these rolling shots a lot easier.

Is that Melania Trump standing next to it?

I bought this one after I sold the MG-TF. Big mistake. I had a 3.4 Sedan to start, then a new 3.8S in 1967, so I thought I would like this car, but it was too big and heavy, not fun to drive. Scan of a photo that got a bend mark in it.

Wonderful classic car when the British put out quality offerings.

Now that’s a good day!

I find it really hard to capture a car in a way that I like at a Cars & Coffee or car show. Yesterday I tried to just capture shots up close with a narrow focal range to see how that worked for me. I didn't have much time but I think doing this moving forward definitely has a future and will experiment some more.

A purple (yes purple) Mercedes 300SL Gullwing. Let's just say it was definitely eye-catching.

When you shoot at a car show all you have is rows of cars and a parking lot. I like to create an
alternative background when I can. This was run through a paint program also. Funky old truck!

This piece of digital artwork is really stunning and lovely! So many intricacies and perfection! Thank you for your contribution! I really enjoy it when people say that they like something a lot.

Buy your wife her own car and then you can drive whatever you want.
