Leyland to Hazzard County

3 Jun 2022 9:22PM   Views : 531 Unique : 420

Continuing the car theme from yesterday's blog, there are all sorts of cars that appeal, from all sorts of time periods. I used to be mega-keen on cars as a teenager and would know every statistic and soaked up all the information I could find. I'm a bit rusty on the details these days, but I still like classic cars and these displays such as Worden Park are an ideal opportunity to indulge. Today's selection covers anything that took my fancy, from the ordinary to the unique.

The Pentax and the Butterfly

I always carry my trusty Pentax MX-1, probably the best compact camera that I have ever used. It is staggeringly useful in terms of functions, not too large or heavy and sturdily made. It also has a great lens, the SMC Pentax 8-25mm f/1.8-2.5, comple...
