Lots of my pictures... quite a few interesting

Too much MG for my eyes. They’re bleeding.

But a renault sports spider! :open_mouth:

Nah, that’s probably just an oil leak :stuck_out_tongue:

Or coolant leak/head gasket failure :laughing:

I have found one picture that I did like a lot, I shall explain why.

This - the Mercedes 230 E. Nothing special, you’re right. The thing is, this is the first car I consciously remember driving in, it belonged to my grandfather at the time. His Mercedes was of brown colour, the engine had 136 hp and when my grandfather brought me home, I was allowed to climb on his lap and steer up the driveaway, which was a huge deal for me. I was 4. Also a very nice car, very german though.

This show is hosted by MG, so about half of it is just MG. And for all their flaws, I really like the MGF. :unamused: At least one of them was showing signs of head gasket failure on the day though, good old K series. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nothing special as it is, but sometimes the boring unappreciated stuff is the good stuff. Similarly, my earliest memory is being sat in the back of what I later found out was my parents’ old 1985 Toyota Corolla 1.3 GL (this probably explains a lot :stuck_out_tongue:). I quite like crappy cars. A lot of them go along performing their function of getting people from A to B faultlessly, then are scrapped when they get old. For me, that’s part of their charm.

Very well spoken. I remember that Toyota Corolla too :mrgreen: It may be crappy… but some still run today.

I have added more pictures. Most interesting ones are at flic.kr/s/aHsk3YtH7d, the less interesting are at flic.kr/s/aHsk3qV252.

When a Delorean time machine and a flaming Chevrolet Astro are in the less interesting cars… something strange is going on…

It’s wooonderful!

Really? A FIAT Panda?
WOW! A Talbot Sunbeam…

They may be common there, but they aren’t everywhere. They’re classed as classics now and they were at the show, I have photos of them anyway. There is interesting stuff around them.

The old Panda in an intresting car indeed. Cheap, reliable, versatile and also not bad looking at all.
May I start an import of Panda in UK? No… I forgot the wrong steering position in UK :stuck_out_tongue:

However thanks to sharing the photo with us.

If you could get a supply of 4x4 models over here you’d be on to a winner, even with the wheel on the wrong side. :stuck_out_tongue:

Even here the 4x4 have a nice value.

Also importing it to the UK, might require you to fix the headlamps as they are set for LHD European roads, instead of RHD UK roads. other than that, you’re set! Get rich, NOW!

Back again with another massive album, a lot of which may or may not be interesting.

This year I was extremely lucky to be invited to the Goodwood Festival of Speed by Toyota, for a blast up the hillclimb in one of the historic liveried GT86s on Thursday, the first day. I decided to stay an extra day as it’s a 7 hour drive there, and tickets were only available for the Friday.

There isn’t really any specific order to them, and my batteries all died pretty quickly in the heat. I also managed to get a lot of video, which I will put together at some point and post up. There are also a lot of Toyotas, because it’s me. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Reviving ye olde thread because I have a new camera to replace my slightly dodgy Olympus. It’s nothing flashy, just a Canon 100D, and I don’t really know what I’m doing yet but - one way to learn!

I expected this to be quite a small local show but it was excellent. Lots of different stuff and a really nice night for it, this was my first time properly out with this camera.

Right, time for some porn.

Again, I was lucky enough to get to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year. I went mental and took nearly 3000 photos over a weekend.

These start out a bit slow with the moving shots as I’ve uploaded a few I didn’t mean to, and I didn’t get the hang of it til later on, I was experimenting a lot. Stick with it - there’s some awesome photos of some awesome stuff in the later pages (if I do say so myself).

Digging up ye olde thread.

As Flickr seems to be losing popularity and I have got lazy uploading stuff I haven’t updated this. As I’ve started to get a bit more used to this camera I’ve been doing a lot more shows and a few people recently have asked what I do with them, why don’t I put them anywhere people can see etc etc.

So, inspired by a daft name I came up with a while back, I’ve now decided to get down with the cool kids and start sharing my pictures under the guise of NutNation.

There’s not much on so far as I’ve pretty much just got them both going and I’m still sorting through the pictures from shows (200GB or so since last April) to upload. There will be everything from a Yugo to a 250 GTO on here so I’m hoping something for everyone.

Please have a look and share it about, my photos are getting better and I’m attending (or planning to attend) a lot more this year and in the future.

Oh and I’m not kidding about the Yugo to 250 GTO thing:
