Well, it took a while, but I think I've got my choices. Thanks again for so many submissions. The following is my humble observation and non professional opinion on the entries.
@someoldguy - Beautiful example of open road fun. Perhaps it’s my screen, but the photo seems a little soft focused. Not that it makes it hard to look at.
@anotherscotsman - This is a very well executed shot. Very classy looking in monochrome.
@inkmich - Another great example of the Porsche. Well composed shot, even with a house in the background.
@HeadTrip - Ah, a Jeep under the stars. I’m guessing a long exposure ? I would have liked to see a bit more color and lighting, but that’s still a great shot !
@deep diver - I’m not a bicycle guy, but appreciate the design elements in this photo. Perhaps a little adjustment to the composition to see what comes after the lettering on the lower frame. Just my observations. Great shot !
@heyisti - I have been a fan of older Toyota’s for a long time. Your’s looks to be a well built and capable 4Runner. I like the tone in your photo.
@themumu - I used to ride motorcycles until a few years ago. I can only imagine riding around Greece. What an adventure. Very warm and colorful photo - in a good way !
@kenoh - Swooping lines and a little darkness work well here. So, that’s three Porsches now…. hmmm.
@keyrex - Two entries - I like the first one you posted. I don’t often think of Mercs with bright colors. It certainly looks like it belongs on a race track.
@zaphodtheprez - Great perspective shot. Good to hear you still ride it.
@imac wannabe - Well, that’s not something we see everyday… I’ll take a guess that it’s a commercial aircraft. Or the inside of a private jet…. Great perspective !
@Hughmac - Great vintage photo. ‘90s is vintage now right ? I’ll bet that was a fun and bouncy ride.
@Somepix - BMW makes some great bikes. I looked at a few before going with the Triumph. Adventure on any road….
@Alexander.Of.Oz - I admire your commitment to green energy. I don’t know if I could manage where I live. Those look to be modern versions of the older ones I’ve seen. Great nighttime shot.
@butch10x - One of the coolest classic rides. I might have tightened up the composition a bit, but I do like the lighting and the monochrome. Terrific shot !
@rx7dude - I’m trying to figure out what car that fin and light is from. Looks like an older Ford. Great photo and well done !
@Karnicopia - I almost bought a Wing. Almost. Didn’t fit me right. Great shot though.
@Apple fanboy - Golf’s are great cars. And you’ve presented this one well. Cold and wet
@tcphoto1 - This is a great shot of a beautiful car. Just one nitpick thing, on the far left. Might have cropped it (or cloned it out) a bit to minimize what is visible of that person sitting. Great shot nonetheless.
@Foogoofish - Yeah, it’s a Harley… in the U.K. Like riding a Triumph here in the U.S. Nice action shot. Just enough blur to give the sense of motion.
And the winners are:
1st - @anotherscotsman - Cayman in monochrome
2nd - @zaphodtheprez - Simple and poignant.
3rd - @imac wannabe - Amazing flying machine !
Congrats to anotherscotsman and everyone for the terrific entries !
Cheers stillcrazyhan - I'm really surprised given the quality of the other entries. In addition to the placements, my particular favourites included rx7dude, Kenoh, Deep Diver and Headtrip. The cayman was a mid-life crisis purchased 8-years ago and has been my daily driver ever since. Did nothing to solve the mid-life bit
With 'only' 2.9 litre normally aspirated flat-6, it's not the fastest Porsche on the planet but such a pleasure to drive and actually very practical for my needs.Congratulations to all who entered and thanks again for the placement. I'll think of a topic and get back.

Thanks for the mention. The car was a ‘57 T-Bird I saw at a car show last summer.
Love the Cayman but I still need a 4 seater. I’m looking at 996 myself. One day....

I mean, out of all of the vehicles I own this one is probably the... least interesting, but it's the one I put the most miles on and is my daily ride so it's my favourite simply because I rely on it.

Damn! If only he'd used a faster shutter!
