Never seen a bug looking like the big car in a race. Nice effect and superb quality and light too.

Wow folks, thanks so much, and thanks Pete for the HC. I actually expected this to get a little lost in the pages of EPZ, proves how wrong you can be!
Well the votes so far are 4 for the Mini 2 for the Bug and Maggie (Xinia) sittin on the fence
As an aside the Mini chased the Beetle down lap after lap, the Mini always stronger in the corners and the Bug quicker on the straights, and that pressure finally paying off into Druids when the Beetle spun and lost a good 10 seconds. The Mini finally romped home victorious, in its class.
For those interested in the post processing, it was a crop to the letterbox format, a USM (90,1.4,1) sharpen in Lab mode, a tiny tweak of the curves and the border added. Resize, a final USM (18,48,0) sharpen and save for web.
Thanks again folks for your comments & clicks.
Cheers,
Gary
