Back in those days, they really took care of their vehicles...I saw one like this on our roads...yeah...road...some rich guy owned it...it read on the rear... a vintage car is like another man's wife, you may appreciate her beauty, yearn for her, but not touch her.

That's a very good sign to have - either on your car or on your wife!!

@JudyEv I would not put it on wife........kinda...the script size would force the reader to come closer and bend on knees to read the rest on the rear...definitely blows would start.

What about using your phone to take pictures?

I use my phone so rarely I hardly ever have it with me. But it's a good idea and I might start doing that.

There are two big warehouses full of cars and then farm machinery in another area.

Vince has occasionally taken some great shots, only to find that he doesn't have the chip in it.

@evilamericans That's a good idea. We have spare batteries for the 'good' cameras but not for my little point and shoot.

@Ronrybs There is a limit to how many bits and pieces you can carry in case of emergencies. You can't cover all scenarios.

I'll get them up gradually but I have to write enough about each one too. I could do a collage but then you can't see so much detail.

I know you, your photos always rock but the photo is so fine. I understand how it feels when you badly need your phone and it has low battery . Hope next time you will go with your power bank. Waiting for your cool photos!
