You raise an interesting scenario. And I guess that’s why we have to ask ourselves what we are trying to ‘say’ with our image. 

You could crop it wider to show both men and call it Teamwork.

I would have cropped to this point.

The 3 or 4 large bars of gold (a normal month's total output) when cool the next day were put into the boot of the mine manager's wife's Moris Minor 1000 for the 50 mile shopping trip to Salisbury. She stopped at the bank and a bank member of staff took them to the volt for safekeeping.

Not sure I would have trusted the suspension on my Moggie 1000 with 4 large bars of gold in the back.

First vehicle I owned. Bought it before I actually took my driving test. Passed my test came home and jumped in it for the first time to go back to work. It started to pour down with rain and the wipers were awful. Tried to brake at the works gatehouse and overshot 20ft past the barrier…fortunately raised …..pumping the foot brake like mad. It became clear the quality of the new BSM car I learnt to drive on and used for the test was far superior that’s my old Moggie.

Great passion wagon though:lol:

Crikey Graham, that beats the RR Spirit of Ecstasy. British Leyland should have gone for that image as the Morris bonnet motif. Full marks for the shoe shine:thumbs:

I wouldn't like to sit on a car bonnet like that now, there would be a dent in it as they are not made like they were then.

Iain....that sent a shudder down my spine. 

Every year I spent hours on the wife's 1100....usually replacing ball joints the night before the MOT.:banghead:

I filled the rusty wings/sills and resprayed it for her just before we moved to Norfolk. I was living in a flat so the only place I could do it was in a friends back yard. Didn't consider the canal next door and the September midges...they seemed to be attracted to thinners. 
She had the only pebble midge dashed 1100 for 6 months....till we moved in and I could redo it again.....under cover!

Mine didn’t last long, I had it a month before my test and less than a month after. I then put it in px for an Austin 1300gt. I have a pic of that somewhere as well.
