my local show - USA theme

Great shots.
 
Yes, but also too easy to produce junk. :smile: Composition/angles/color still count.
 
Yep, I think the T'bird would be best-in-show, but we don't do that.

We hold this on a Wednesday afternoon, entrance is free, but you can contribute to local Charities.
It raises about 100K USD if the weather is like this year.

One thing I do with the photos is to tweak on the MAC, so as to remove deep shadow.
 
"my small home town, pop 45000"

Hahaha, ya'll across the pond certainly have different ideas about what small is. I live in a town of 1200 and it is considered a medium sized town. 45,000 is the big city. All joshing aside though that is pretty great that ya'll can raise that much money with one show.
 
it's funny. I was at a cruise night last week (here in the USA, obviously) and I saw a lot of the same (American) cars! :friendly_wink:

But that beige Jensen really caught my eye: The accent lines over the fenders really remind me of the same lines on a 300 SL.

I'm 23 miles from Lawton, population 96,000. London has eight million people? That is huge city, the entire state of Oklahoma only has 3 million people.
 
You folks will also be surprised at the housing density I expect.

This is a small town because if I take my Spaniel for a walk, I can easily pass from my home on the south-side, to the northern fringe and back again in under an hour. Even smaller east/west.

I know the guy who has RYO 9.

It's pretty much the first Lotus made by Chapman.
He was financed to do it by a London surgeon who had quite a big say in the shape.
The shell has never been painted and is virtually original.

When I first saw it it was heavily oxidised and there was much agony over leaving it or polishing it.
I'm glad it eventually got polished.

We have quite a lot of road-going C-type and D-type replicas here using XJ power/transmission.

How do registration plates work in Britain? In America the plate stays with the car unless it moves to another state.

I am sure I would be shocked by the population density. Around here there is a lot of land, and things tend to spread out a bit.
