Wish this was my car.


This one really appeals to me. Perhaps it's the combination of colour giving it a clean and yet gentle look. Love the shade of blue, which is just enough to break the white.

Thanks to Dusty Lens from Minnesota for the info provided for my post on the other car at the speed hump . Speaking to Doug, who is familiar with the actual car in the picture, I discovered it is a very authentic replica of AC Cobra and was manufactured by Backdraft Racing, in KZN. Had it been an original, Dusty Lens' description would have been absolutely correct.

This is the last of the cars for now. Nice as they are I don't want anyone to think this is all there is in Durban.

Ready, Steady, Go!


Rather liked these four cars, parked at the back.

Thank goodness for speed humps.

My friend suggested I wait at the speed hump on the way out to get some good photos. He said all the guys will slow down to go over them, and he was absolutely right! After all, these are sports cars so they're excellent on sprints and long distance, but hurdles are a challenge not worth taking.

Anyone want to provide details on this car for me?

Since no-one else is featuring sports cars today, I'll be satisfied with any form of vehicles:
Today we say goodbye to Jeremy in Paris. Go well, and we hope to see you from time to time.
Not quite a sports car in Rome.
Fighting fires in Palm Springs.

I promised a few more cars, so here's another which took part in the Wild Coast sports car run on Sunday. Still more to come.

These vintage type cars have such character.

Whose photo is it anyway?


This view from inside the orchid house in the Botanic Gardens is so pretty, I had to share it with you. Its the first picture on my blog, which I didn't take, but I like it so much it deserves a place here.

The big question now, is who does it belong to? It was taken with my camera and it's on my blog, but I didn't take it. So who is the owner?

Danny, the tall fencer in my picture a few days ago, who has a really good eye for these things, used my camera for this one.

Others sites with through a window:
Menton
Kyoto

Wild Coast Sports Car Run

The sports car enthusiasts met bright (and I mean the sun was really bright!) and early this morning for their trip down the south coast. I don't know all that much about cars, but this one caught both eye and ear. A beautiful blue, with a deep, fast sounding engine.

I have a few more to show you over the next few days.

Other's featuring cars today:
