missing out on shite spots :(

[retro80sboy]

Think I need a new mobile phone.last night coming home from work I spotted a yellow haggered mk 2 Astravan in a carpark, some kind of white 80's Toyota estate (Carina maybe??) and a D reg Montego on a driveway.sadly, my mobile has no flash for the camera so I missed out on capturing these 'beautys' for my autoshite picture collection.anyone else experienced such a disapointment of similar missed opportunities lately since the clocks went back?

Lots!, Keep spotting stuff in my work car park like a Mk 2 Granada Ghia Estate and Mk 1 Fiesta XR2, God knows who they belong to but when i leave work at 7pm it's totally pitch black so can't get any decent photos.It doesn't help that the camera on my super duper Samsung 5.0MP mobile is totally crap and worse then my old N95.

I finally managed to get a picture of the 2 tone Chevette I've been after for ages. So what happened next day? Broke my phone taking it out of my pocket

The ultimate missed spot for me was that nun hooning in a Dyane in France, but until they invent a system that allows you to take snapshots with your own eyes, I guess there's no solution. Couldn't get my camera out of its bag in time, let alone switched on and pointing the correct way!Same with the attractive girl in a Renault 4CV who randomly appeared at the end of a side road in a very soggy Montpellier. She was rather confused when I slammed on the brakes and allowed her to pull out...

Bloody loads but being honest it's almost always because I CNT B 4RSD stopping and taking pictures because I'm a lazy bastard!

Mr Wobbler, the problem is not TAKING the snapshot, you have that nun firmly on video in your head. The problem is to get some prints of it !

My dying cameraphone refused to take a pic of a beige Y-plate Ambassador that I saw in Jersey two years ago Shortly afterwards I inherited a phone at work and used it to take a snap of an extremely tidy, early 1980s Toymotor Starlet that I haven't seen since. The image is still on said phone but I haven't got the cable to transfer to PC...

Why not MMS it to someone who can transfer it from their phone to PC? - I can PM you my mobile number if you want to share the Starlet with the world

Good idea. Duly done

 

 

EDIT. Wasn't worth the wait was it! Seems that the phone (old Samsung E330) saves the images as 640x480 resolution, but sends them as something less

Loads lately, loads of stuff in Basingstoke and Camberley im missing but just got two near northampton which more than make up for it!

Missed out on snapping Raymanboy (perhaps) in a red LeBaron on the M25 near the M4 interchange earlier, and a Hyundai Grandeur V6 on the M3 before that - he was shifting a bit, must have been a retired Hyundai dealer principal

Cameras in mobile phones are on the whole, sh1t. Which is why I has invested £9.99 in this second hand Sony Cybershot
