I think the secret to make a nice car shot is to add a aaa girl Wink


DAMN
Never i hate this kind of pictures. I love girls, but girls nudes on cars are just good pictures for teenagers.

Gentlemen drivers do not need a girl to appreciate a car

I must admit that i do not know this version of the transporter.
it seems it has really abilities off road.

The pick up is certainly very interresting

Yes they still make the Syncro but these rear engined models made in the late 80's are very capable off road vehicles Volkswagen asked Steyr Puch to make the drive train (gear box propshaft etc) They are more widely known for making the Pinzgauer and the Mercedes G wagon

Lets see more car pictures. I love cars and enjoy working on them.

I almost bought the porsche but bought a jaguar convertible instead then never have time to drive it. Its spent its whole life in the garage and still only has 9000 miles on it.

The only picture I could find of it. terrible picture but my daughter wanted a quick snapshot of her using it.
After looking at all these nice pictures I must get it out and wax it up so I can take pictures of it. It hasn't been out in 3 years.

I think I took the picture with the AE-1 1.8/50mm but it could have been with a camera of my wife's about 4 or 5 years ago.

Don't worry about it. Even if you'd been using it more it would have spent just as much time in the garage anyway. I love Jags, but don't trust 'em an inch. Usually electrical faults; mostly minor, but some of them downright dangerous.
