Delightfully quirky - just like the cars....

A memorable shot from this challenge. The news is a mixed blessing.... The old bug has a lot over the new model, in terms of nice looking machinery design...

Cool shot ! Love the taxi and it's reflection standing out so crisp and clear against the dark blurred background.

Cool, so cool, and way beyond. (But sad, so sad about these little guys).

It was with a bitter heart that Herbie the Love Bug drove yet another client to his destination in the pouring rain. He'd fallen so far since he'd gone Bananas.

With a sigh, he drove on.

Great shot! The contrast between the tack sharp, brightly lit car racing across the bottom of the frame and the way blurred and slightly off-kilter building behind is brilliant ... the fact that its a Beetle makes it even better.
