Some kind of promotional launch, last evening in Lan Kwai Fong. I have never seen such a fuss over a boring car!
Mind you with all the people carrying bunches of flowers, I guess there was some kind of celebrity involved, but I couldn't be bothered to wait and find out.

Traffic coming along the flyover, onto Cotton Tree Drive. Long exposure without a flash to creat the white streaks of the headlights. I also like the starring of the street lamps

When I was a lad I always wanted to own an E-type Jag. This one belongs to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.

These canvas sided trucks are a must for deliveries in Hong Kong.

And they are colourful, but sometimes you can't guess what's inside them and sometimes you probably don't want to know!

Only Fools and Horses

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.
