Slightly unfortunate that the roof seems to have a "Please Take" sign on it?

Great photo of a beautiful car though

Maybe it has been more trouble than he lets on?

Living in the Midlands, I drove down to the South Coast, to the New Forest, and found the ideal spot that would allow the countryside to complement the beauty of my car.

To be honest, there are not that many places in the country that really do our cars justice, so driving 200 miles or more to find the perfect place to take a snap isn't out of the ordinary. The backdrop is everything, isn't it.

DRUK - very close!

Eagle eyed. I never saw that. I wonder what the rest of the sign says...

Agree 100 per cent. Photographing is now part of my detailing routine. After a full wash clay polish wax, there's a drive to a scenic spot with a decent camera.

Always early morning or late afternoon. When the sun is low the light is soft and golden. If possible position the car so the sunlight hits side on, this creates good texture in the background.
