Good and bad vehicles

April 23rd, 2012
Just posted this one and started wondering. The PP page is full of stockphotos on nature and animals but hardly any cars or bikes are being displayed over there. Car brands all have their classics and modern counterparts (or vice versa). I name a few; Traction Avant versus Citroën AMI, Cinquecento versus Fiat Multipla, R4 versus Megane, Chrysler Imperial 1959 versus Cruiser, Porsche 911 versus Panamera
, AMC Pacer versus Javelin, Marcos Mantis versus Mantara (not really fare, sorry :-) I know this is very personal but that makes it interesting too.

What car (or bike) did you turn around for because you had to make a portrait? Good or bad.

I love cars! We have a lot of vintage ones around our beach neighborhood in all stages of restoration.

I love taking car, bike or any vehicle shots, this one did make the PP, but your right cats, flowers or blinding sunsets will always be on PP.



Few more because I couldn't resist.



and a Red Ferrari :P

Thanks guys. I have to admit I'm not really into cars but I sure did enjoy watching your shot! Especially the 'street shot', the accidental encounters. Hoped for the worst car ever built too but you guys snapped the beauties, except for Karen! Haha.
It's not a contest but still I'm gonna mention my two favorites; Donna's desolated car because it is just the scene I would go back for too, and The Smoked Hot Rod from Flagged, lovely.

Thanks again for sharing.

I've got a few photos of cars on my project, but these were the 'have to' pics.







And this one I didn't so much as 'turn round' for as 'get out of' 'cos she's mine :)

Found this at a Campervan show. It was beautiful. :)

Caused an accident or three while doing a U-turn across a flower bed median for this bad boy....maybe I was just showing him he wasn't the only vehicle that could crush stone.*
