Cars Seen on the Road
If I'm honest with myself, it may be a little while before I can afford to buy, never mind keep, a high performance car of any kind. I must therefore settle for day dreams of ownership and, if I'm lucky, the glimpse of such cars as they flash past me on the roads.
When I get the opportunity to catch one of these rare beasts resting at the roadside I like to spend a little while admiring them and if possible capturing the moment for posterity.
