Shot through the very dirty front windshield of my car this morning.

There's a woody gathering in town this weekend, and this vehicle is attending. I think it's something called a shooting brake, not what we Americans would call a station wagon. It's a right-hand drive, so the woman giving me a dirty look is a passenger, not the driver.

I love these old cars but talk about an expensive hobby up there next to yachts.

Yes, it's a Shooting Brake, and it's a Rolls Royce. Helluva vehicle. Properly, a Shooting Brake is a 2-door with a rear hatch, but the Rolls variety often had 4 doors. Here's another example:

Old cars have such great style. This reminds me of my recent Wotever shot:



The lines and the combination of materials make this "dowager" very beautiful :-)
