I think the strange spare tire placement might limit the comfyness a bit!

A Lotus 11 at the supermarket this afternoon. Just your usual sort of weekly grocery shopping runabout. . . not!

Went to the Audrain Car Museum in Newport, RI today. Their current exhibit is "Balance and Power"...a collection of cycles from the past. Amazing exhibit. Here are just a few samples of my photos from the visit. KP + DA16-85 worked well.

Number plate, SAD: sort of counter- intuitive, don’t you think?

That number plate will be worth a mint too. I expect the owner was in sight of it.

I hate to criticize, but I think you over-did the Photoshop airbrushing a bit on your model there, Paul. Her face looks a little... plasticky.

Experts recommend a thick layer of protective sunscreen for those who must stand out in the Texas sun for days...or years....

Nice.
Not my kind of car, but in an emergency you could flip the engine cover to assist braking!

Very nice. I like the little keep fit (non-electric) windows too.
