Thanks Brendan. There were numerous Mopars in the cruise. I just didn't happen to shoot them this time around. With four lanes of traffic, you can't really pick and choose. You watch for a car in the clear, and if it's nice you fire away. I spend just a couple of hours total shooting, so I

I don't know what that itty bitty car is. I think Isettas have a different shaped door and they're not quite that tiny. Unfortunately, the pic is a bit shaky. I was shooting slow-shutter pans, and this guy pulled up in front of me moving quite slowly. So the shutter was at an 1.8th of a

Paul, A nice group of photos and a trip down memory lane. (I learned to drive on a '54 Oldsmobile.) Plenty of good car shots and lots of people stuff too! It's nice to see the enjoyment the event generates. And the panning makes the shots more exciting than a straight snap. Regards, Bob S. On

Thanks Mike. You nailed it. It's obvioulsy a Peel Trident. Quite rare too based on the article you cited, which puts total production at approximately 45 cars. (Using the word car rather loosely. It's really a dovered motorcycle.) I wonder what one of these is worth? Probably not much, but

I'm not sure it is long gone, Godfrey. There is an old industrial building across the bridge on the other side of the harbour from the town that has been used for boat-building and various other things in recent years. If the building you can see in the film is actually the factory, then
