Took a quick shot of our new VW Golf Wolfsburg just delivered yesterday, ordered with a sweet 5 Speed Manual gearbox for its throwback owners.

Very nice looking Golf, I really like that big sunroof. I hope your wife lets you do some train chasing in it. :encouragement:

Ah, two wonderful machines to be sure!

Several years ago, I managed this shot of NS's VGN unit with my Nissan truck. Locomotives sure outscale our vehicles don't they?

Thank you! You just gave me an idea -- I can stand in the opening and shoot train videos while my wife drives.

I like your truck & Virginian Locomotive shot Sandpatch. Here is my old Forester with an even older E8. Although my Forester was pretty new when this shot was taken.

My wife's - she even got a custom plate "PT4GMB"

It was one of the first of the "Dream Cruisers" special edition ones - white and gold leather interior.

Still runs well - pushing 250,000 now.

The assignment was to go take a picture of my Apple Tree - the PT just photo-bombed the tree shot.

Taken at the 2017 Silverstone 24hr Touring class race.

 

[crashton]

Those are great shots.:encouragement: I love the pan shot, excellent! Did you have credentials or were you shooting from the public areas?

 

[Ejaydee]

Chuck, thanks for the comments. I lucky to go through the relevant H&S day

 

[Ejaydee]

Apologies Chuck, I hit "post" before I meant to. As I was saying, I went through the H&S day and was able to get the paddock and course pass card for 2017 for the 24hr race series. I was on a three day course covering the Silverstone race with a UK camera shop (Clifton Cameras). It was a first class experience, and although it cost a few pennies, it was well worth the money for the experience gained, the access that was available to me and insight gained from the professional who was leading the small team.

Ejaydee- Thanks for filling me in & thanks for posting your shots. Sounds like money well spent & your pictures are proof of that. Here in the states I can get into the paddock & the garage area, but have to shoot from the other side of the fence track side. In the last few years it has become harder to get decent shots. Every year there seem to be more catch fences than the year before.
