Well done Paul ! Interesting story and good images.

I enjoyed that thoroughly. Anyway, I hope everyone is enjoying themselves on the list. I myself haven't been shooting much at all.

A couple of days ago I spotted this one parked in a driveway a bock or so away from my house. As soon as I got home and unloaded the shopping I picked up my camera and strolled back there. https://www.panix.com/~johnf/temp/BugEye.jpg It turns out that it's owned by a guy even closer to where I live - on the next street over! I'd actually stopped by to talk to him some years ago when I'd spotted him working on another car in his driveway (I don't remember exactly what). -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Not far from Dave Bean, who got a fair bit of my money when I was racing a Cortina. How long have you been there?
