trigger Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Those are excellent!, I forgot how much nicer photos were in pre-DSLR days. Considering a few of those cars wouldn't have been very old back then they still looked surprisingly tatty. fotorabia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickwall Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Great spots from yesteryear!!!

Split_Pin Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Tip top shots there, the God Squad bus is ace. We used to have a similar Bible Bus in for servicing B745JFS belonging to Blackburn Gospel hall. By 1996 it was rotten as a pear. fotorabia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDeere Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I love that GS/phone box/post box shot. Yes, the GS(A) pic is great - with the colour matching and the cobble stones - it looks almost like a brochure shot fotorabia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cort16 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 That Porsche 928 in white just looks so right. I bet you had to have some serious coin to get one of these straight out the dealership.
