Just got back from Cornwall on Saturday evening after a week's break. I came across some unique subjects on my travels which I couldn't resist taking photos of. I've put them on FB which I'm slowly trying to understand but for those who aren't on the book of face if anyone's interested here they are for you to admire, slate, mock, whatever takes your fancy. Hopefully you'll enjoy.
This was just sat on a guys drive in a small village. Turns out the car, a Rover is a staggering 83 years old and is still used to go to the shops etc.

The owner of the above car, also had this in his garage which was 30+ years old.

Believe it or not sat in a pub car park at another small village I came across a Rolls Royce just sat there and the owner had even left the keys just hung on a switch on the dashboard. Never seen that before in any pub car-parks in Bradford!

Wicked photo's Wolf :punk:
Is that a real spitfire just sat there in someones back yard?
Debs, yes it most certainly is. The owner had lots of other aviation bits laying around too.

Sad to see her just sitting there. She should be in a hanger being taken care of. :sad:
Wow great pics and finds Mr Wolf. I wonder how much that lot would be worth?
Amazing what some folk have in their gardens....we have a bird table and bird bath in ours :yes:
Great pics (again) Steve
You are rather good at this. I used to have an instamatic 25 not in the same league.
Quality images, thanks for sharing!
Must have been a weekend for classics, had a ride through Ironbridge on Saturday, saw a Spitfire hooning about over the Severn, brilliant!
Then yesterday filing up the car at local garage, a Fraser Nash, guessing about 30's vintage pulled in to fill up, tank in the bonnet!
Superb to see old stuff not only being kept alive, but still being used!
Surprised the Health and Safety haven't grounded anything pre 1960's!
Well I'm up in Scotland now so I'll see what I can find up here. I've already discovered an interesting looking derelict building a couple of fields away from my digs, it could even be the remains of a small fort or castle. I cant quite see it clearly for some blasted trees. I shall explore tomorrow.
:clap: :punk:
wow Wolf ! Those are really great pics !
A new job is waiting :mfr_lol:
Those are made with phone and special setting ?
The very nice objects are becoming alive this way... :punk: :banana:
beegee, I use my phone for making calls and my camera for taking photos. Lol. These pics were taken with a digital camera.
This is a shot of an old workshop I took last week. I quite like how it turned out.

Like the mood very much
Cool Wolf !
You really can make calls with your phone too ?
I have to check that option on mine... :mfr_lol: :banana:
Ps use my s4 more as nav, mp3 and camera too... All in one, easy ;-)
Not surprised at the keys being left on the Roller. A friend used to leave his in his Greeves. Every time we left the pub he'd take bets on someone lying beside his bike with a shattered leg. That bike was a bitch to start even when ya knew the settings for everything.

Well it seems Scotland like Cornwall also has it's fair share of vintage cars. I discovered this whilst visiting Luss near Loch Lomond. I even managed to get a model to pose for me.

The camera....your holiday must have clouded your memory :mfr_lol:
Ah yes, now I member. It's an age thing.
I've been in Japan for the last few weeks, I'm sure Wolf and his camera would find lots to photograph here!
