Don't forget the Ford Aspire, what does it Aspire to be? A real car.
(Of course based on looks I'd guess it realy wanted to be a Pontica Aztek).

Hi!

Excellent image for car enthusiast. I used to be involved in driving
news group soon after I bought my car. But I never had a chance to
drive anything faster than Ford Focus.

I have only one frowny comment g... David, if you wanted it to be a
real riddle why you allowed the Ferrari Horse be in the frame?
Arguably it would be far worse without the horse but then the riddle

Often I walk by the car that I like to shoot but haven't done yet. May
be I should, some day.

Thanks!

Boris

I'm not into cars, but I like this pic. Is that smoke? Reflection? Looks like 
smoke. Whatever it is, I like it. 

And the whole pic has nice composition. It looks like an abstract. And a 
mustang.

But I am car clueless. It's the horse, anyway.

Marnie aka Doe   I used to have a mustang, before they became collector cars.

Re: PAW (early this week)

Gee, that was pretty quick.

The car in question is the Ferrari 308 GTB.  It's the real deal - 
certainly not a kit car.

http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/paw/2004-2-26-answer.html

BTW yes, that cloudy stuff is smoke, from the exhaust.  Actually its 
mostly steam.  I remember that it was pretty cold that day.  The smoke 
is actually the reason why I took the picture in the first place.

It took me a while to get the crop right.  I'm not very well-practised 
at cropping - but just out of interest, here's the full frame.

http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/paw/2004-2-26-fullframe.html

Albano: here's what a Testarossa looks like from the rear... (sorry I 
don't have a photo of an F50:)

It's a 308 QV, isn't it?

I like the faint reflection of a bystander in the paintwork.  Nice crop, 
too.
