"I never got a picture of it." And now it's gone. I hate missing opportunities like that.
You've reminded me of something, and now I shall ramble a bit:
A bar here in Toronto on Gerrard near Parliament (sort of a British style pub) used to have a derelict old Jag (I think it was a Mark IV "saloon" as I believe the Brits call sedans - but someone can correct me if I'm wrong on either the Mark IV or the saloon). There was something alluring about it, and I probably took dozens of pics of it over the years:

The scan of the first one is especially bad, even for me <g>, but those are just three of many shots. I never did get "that one". You know, sometimes you take a shot of something, you know it's perfect, and you either know you need not shoot it again, because you'll never get it better, or in the alternative, you try shooting it again, but never quite capture that "magic" again. Well, I never got "that shot" of the Jag, and after several years of grabbing shots of it, I decided one day to try again, and it was gone. I was actually a bit sad. I know it sounds odd, but I felt like I had some sort of relationship with that car. Ah well. At least I got some decent (if not perfect) shots of it.
cheers, frank

Good photo, and cool sign! It reminded me of the Monster Donuts sign at the
corner Weston Road and Jane Street in Toronto, featuring Godzilla or one of
his kin munching a very large donut. Unfortunately, the sign's no longer
there, and I never got a picture of it.
