Abstract Hubcap Reflection

Why I (almost) always carry the (trusty old) K-5 & DA 16-85 in the car.

Perhaps "hub-cap" is an American term? It refers to the shiny disk which covers the wheels (the part onto which the tire is mounted) of a car. When the sun hits them at the right angle, they create interesting reflections on the pavement--like this one.

Perhaps, but I'm not even sure I'd know the British English word for it. Thanks, and a good photo!

Good eye, Dave. Now, to try and figure out what car it is!
