Yes
I am parked on a golf bunker on a municipal course atop a subterranean Victorian reservoir that holds 158m gallons for south London

Obviously, the sand from the bunker is now all over the inside of the car!

The things we do with our cars !

All good fun, nice to see a bit of sunshine, for a change, and blow the cobwebs off our cars.

Stay safe

James,


It must be something with photographers that they like sand to be in the shot. Early this year pre Covid-19. At least mine was not in the sand.😎😎😎

But Garry, I’m sure your shots were for some reason (F1?) about which people have heard.
Mine were for a nameless online teen magazine.

It’s like being a cover girl for Vogue or being in the background of a photo on page 17 of your local free sheet 😉

James,
It was for an F1 news paper article. The race was cancelled next day on the Friday before the weekend race.

I hope they paid you a good buck to have those kids put their feet up on the paintwork and fabric.

Top right picture looks like they didn't close the soft top lid completely.

Just to add to the photo shoot collection.  Several years ago, my car was used for a Casio Camera Commercial.  It was a hoot! 

Notice the missing MB star in the front grill.  Apparently MB is very particular, so all references to MB were deleted (like the hubcap star).  It was all done in front of an indoor green screen and a background (hotel entrance was added later.) It was impressive that anytime the car was touched, they wore soft white gloves.

Anyway sending just for the fun of it
