Because of the overwhelming success (based on a scientific statistical analysis, of the last wheel photo) I decided to dig deeper to find another. I was hoping I could convince the owner to move the car a bit to get the last two letters to show but he was nowhere to be found. If this were my car I don’t think I would leave it unattended for very long.
I think blocking out the rest of the word adds to the snob appeal. Like a privacy fence with broken bottles on the top. Or, if you don’t know what those last two letters are, you don’t count. I like the extreme crispness of this shot.
Thanks, Linda. Now I wonder if hiding the letters was intentional. Like the guy who builds the privacy fence with broken bottles on the top.
Cool photo. The question is, other than at a car show, where does one find a parked and unattended Lamborghini and then get close enough to it so that the bodyguards don’t start coming your way?
Thanks, Howard. Good question. Lambos are as rare as hens teeth here. This one had dealer plates but I don’t know of any Lamborghini dealers anywhere near here. But I guess dealer plates can go on any car.
A rare beast – an opportunity well taken. A few weeks ago in my local town I spotted a McLaren P1 – rarer even than a Lambo. And me without my camera. I didn’t have the time to hang around to see who it belonged to. We do get a lot of high end sports cars around here as I am only a few miles from the Silverstone F1 circuit and that attracts some very big names for Track days when they can come and race their prize possessions on a real racetrack just for the sheer hell of it – and of course at totally illegal speeds.
Yes, any McLaren is extremely rare around here, too. I am determined to get a phone with a decent camera next time I have to trade this one in just for those times when the Nikon isn’t available.
We see a lot of those around here, but this is the “land of milk & honey.” Or at least the land of pro athletes and investment bankers. They still generally don’t trust the valets to park them though.
We don’t see these very often on the road in the summer and never, ever in the winter.
