Churches round here with a spire are almost impossible to photograph with the car in the picture, usually they are at the top of a hill surrounded by trees and located where you just cannot park.

What a bummer. :cry:

I thought this was going to be easy.

Noy my pic (obviously), so not a win. Is it Linda who has the police mog and the uniform? Would that count? :D<br>Image<br>

It's taken a while - and I realise I'm not a 'winner' - but at last here is my Traveller outside The Crown in Biggar - as suggested by Mr Big Ginger! Today was Classic show and Regularity Run at Biggar - we were equal First in our class on the Run - but the win was given to the older car, a Hillman Minx. That's the rules!

Sorry -too much petrol to go down there! Traveller is not all that great condition - it's my 'second' classic and gets a bit neglected. However - it did sterling service yesterday and today covering almost 200 miles without complaint - not bad for first time out this year! Notice the autojumble find spare hood and frame for my TR7 - jammed in the back! Handy things, Travellers.

So, is it still Policeperson + car?

Can it be a PCSO?

I was going to ask that. I am a NHW street coordinator so the local PCSO calls round regularly for a chat.

It must be the second time because I saw it at Bo'ness a few months ago. Did my photos ever make it into the magazine?

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer.

I forgot I had it at Bo'ness at MOT time Alex - that indeed was it's 'first time' out in 2008. Then I transferred the insurance to the TR7. For August I have them BOTH on the insurance! Lst sunday was it's first 'show' of 2008. Re pics - no nothing yet - I did forward them for use if required.

That would be a good photo. The actual photo from the Police speed camera. Sorry the Police accident reduction camera. Not that I am indorsing you to go speeding. Just thought if you already had the photo, it would be good to prove a standard moggy can actually speed. I feel like I’m digging a whole: lol: :lol: :lol:.

Despite having a speedo that under-reads by 8 mph (and not realising this until last week), I've still not managed to speeeeed fast enough for a ticket :-)
