I went to the DSragon & Lion Dancing in Kowloon, yesterday. At the start it was a massive scrum, with TV crews, the press and, like me, amateur photographers; but once the procession moved off the press disappeared, which left the Convention Centre Plaza clear for the amateur photographers and the later Dragon and Lion teams.

Only Fools and Horses

autos 057, originally uploaded by Octopuscard.

Possibly Britain’s most famous three-wheel vehicle, this Regal van (mistakenly referred to as a ‘Robin’) featured in the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses.It was sole transport for the Trotter family of Del, Rodney, Grandad and Uncle Albert until Del Boy later went ‘upmarket’ and purchased a Capri Ghia. What a plonker!
105,824 Regal vans and saloon cars were produced by Reliant between 1963 and 1972. The bodywork was of all glass fibre unit construction. With a maximum loading capacity of 50 cubic feet, one example was driven in 1968 around Mallory Park racing circuit with sixteen people crammed in the back! Cushtie!
I took this photo, last year, at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu. It was a great day out visiting a haunted stately home, and playing around with cars.

Shop Name, originally uploaded by Octopuscard.

In the olden days the shop names were displayed inside the shop. Now on the outside, usually in relief.
I like the colours in this photo as well as the 3-D look.

I am away for a few days - I will keep trying to post daily photos, but no promises!
