I really think you’re getting some of your best shots with this combination of adapted lenses and blue hour light. Love it.

Really got to love the pedestrian friendly bonnet ornament, Ron!
Nice photo. What make is the car? I don't recognise it.

It's a '35 Packard, Mr. King.

Found this while browsing the back cataloge yesterday. Its likely the most remarkable car I will ever own.
A special edition Land Rover Discovery, with the 3.9 liter V8. Its long gone from my ownership but was a proper treat to drive.

@JensM nice car, I wonder has it 4 wheel drive?

Indeed it has, permanent 4X4.
A lost picture has me airborne, in the terrain, behind the wheel of my other discovery in 2009.

Wow! A mustang!

I am no expert, but it looks like a real nice Shelby replica (and the only reason I say Replica is the Mustang badge on it which I assume, the original Shelby did not have, but maybe it did).

EDIT - a little bit of research shows they did have some Mustang emblems on them, so there is a good chance that is a real GT350

The badge next to the headlight states that it's actually a 289 cu.in., with a "go faster" decal ...

Or maybe it really has had a 350 cu.in. dropped into it.

I hired a 302 cu.in. version when I was in the USA in 1968/9.

'65 and '66 Shelby GT350 had a 289 cu/in engine, so that's fine as far as originality is concerned.

Not too remarkable but still, ma charette. It is a 2001 Honda Insight and can easily get 60+ MPG. 55+ MPG at 75 - 80 MPH. And it is a dream to drive. It has been modified some.
