Moon-buggy

What were you doing sat in the warm last night when you could have been out taking photos on the moors in -3....? Come on now, jump to it.

 

This is my trusty Moon Buggy, a 1960 Morris Minor, it's the my photo mobile of choice. I did it up from a complete wreck, it had four black wings, a rotted boot, rust all over the place, 1 seat ( the drivers seat fortunately!) no carpet, no headlining or anything of any luxury. The heater just about works and my feet get rather cold when I drive it, but it sure does makes you smile. Character goes a long way in my book.

 

Just to mention I have a lamb sat in my hallway right now, I rescued it from a field, it was being attacked buy a buzzard and some crows at first light.

ahahah Dave, you can believe me if I tell you I laughed so much at reading your photomobile description that I almost died!

Oh my, that car is just fantastic! It could really be a Lupin III car too!

I'm sure this pic will do extremely well, it's just perfect for home decor, wall art, posters, etc.

 

Great job!

Beautiful image and car. This modele looks like, at least on this image, as a Renault 4CV. Regards, Jean-Marc

Hi David, I just came across this information and thought you should know. Full moon tonight should very interesting. Here is the link: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/09dec_fullmoon.htm

Fabulous photograph! Bordering on surrealistic! Do get out and photograph in the moonlight tonight, as the moon will be some 8,000 miles closer than normal. Stay warm, and keep on sharing your wonderful vision of the world with us. Cheers! Chris

Its absolutely lashing down with rain here, what a bummer.... thanks for the kind words Chris.

My Morris Minor in moonlight

Hi David

 

recently joined site and only started to contribute today and i come across this!

 

My first car-i had a 1956 model (convertible) that cost me £50....yours must be around that time as it has the indicators that you have to hit now and again from the inside! However i dont see a split screen so maybe 1960 or so?

I had a two door 64 model that i drove round Europe in and owned for years. 1100 cc and cruised at 70mph. If they werent so overpriced i would buy one!

Still like old cars..let my wife drive the newer one while i now love the '87 Honda Prelude. Best car i have driven!

Oh yes your photos..they are very good. You understand lighting well and time of day. Pro or amateur...not that it necessarily makes a difference. I have been photographing professionally now for about 15 years full time. Just produced a book on Richmond in Surrey-big layout financially but have now broken even...maybe you should do same

Good luck

Tony

 

My father had one of these - P1138.
