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.

Bum scratching
These two girls had just taken a photograph and were looking at the camera, when lo and behold, the girl on the left decides to scratch her bum - something I thought was reserved for men to do!

Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row

Sometimes I just love macro shots.

hong kong night time 209.jpg
With the wonderful, clear weather we have been having lately; I decided to go out last evening and take some night time shots - this is one of them.
To all of you who know Hong Kong, this will be recognisable as the dragon-clawed phallus that dominates the Hong Kong skyline. For the rest it is IFC2, which at the moment is Hong Kong's tallest building.

Hong Kong twilight
After the rain, yesterday, there was a really clear twilight. Although, cloudy the sky took on a really blue colour.
I took this photo from my balcony with the wonderful 35mm f1.4 L lens by Canon. The beauty of this lens is the sense of perspective that you get from the shot

Fountain
Kids playing in the fountain at Hong Kong Park. I used a longer exposure to blur the movement of the water, and the kids always make good subjects.

Conservatory roof
This shot is taken whilst looking up from the dry plant room in the conservatory at Hong Kong Park. I really like the detail in this photo and the monochrome tones, although it is a colour photograph.
