I like the composition on the first one a lot. Just goes to show the best camera for air displays is the one you have with you at the time. |

Nice photo; bloody awful car!  (My parents had one, which I would sometimes use. Dreadful.) |

Mate of mine had one, and when the garage jacked it up to change the tyres, the entire backend drive train stayed firmly on the ground. |

Exactly! And that's only ONE of the reasons I used the description "an awful car".  |

Attachment DeletedHorrible rainy day in Choshi last month. Would love to see this temple in better weather - it is renowned for its beautiful wisteria too.

Mum's Triumph Herald was the first car I rver travelled in, back from St John's Hospital Chelmsford.
Mind you, having been a passenger in a friend's Spitfire when she was forced to let off the throttle in a corner by someone coming the other way wanting far more road than they needed, I don't have the rosiest views on swing axle suspension. Kangarooing down a dark, tree-lined road at 60mph was a remove the upholstery from beteen my bum cheeks moment.
