VW Variant
Stumbled across this lovely VW Variant in London yesterday. Even in the grey and rainy weather it looked magnificent. Inspired by the standout qualities of it on an otherwise mundane looking street I have decided to try and post other examples I find via my iPhone and on the fly to the blog.

BMW M1 Rally Car Concept
By an artist called Hussain1 on DeviantArt. There are some stunning vehicle concepts out there.
Will try and post a few of my favourites. This one is described as 'what a BMW M1 Group B Rally car could have looked like. This is the same kit off the Audi Quatrro Pikes Peak rally car.'

Nikon D90 DSLR
While I'm online I should probably add a note about my latest gadget too. It's a Nikon D90 DSLR with an 18-200mm lens and I bought it as I was itching to do a little photographic experimentation.
A few years ago I used to have a Canon 350D but the Nikon seems to be the important step up I was hoping it would be for me. Not that I'm going to neglect my Panasonic Lumix FX-550, I just wanted to have the option of both compact and DSLR.
Anyway, here's one of my first pictures taken with it, of my car in the recent snow (was impressed at the colour it picked out in the wall and lamp post). Next purchase will be a Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens for those cool, slightly warped reality images.

Guy Allen • Motoring Illustrator
It's been a while since my last post. Recovery from the broken/dislocated shoulder is just about finished now save for a little physio to do for the next month. So, time to update my blog and what better to do that with than some vanden plas illustration.
Guy Allen's stuff is right up my cul-de-sac and I plan to buy something from him in the new year. He does commissions and you may have seen his work in Octane magazine too. Check out his website here and for an instant aesthetic hit, here is a gorgeous Ferrari 512 S.

North Norfolk Coast
Just back from a few days away at Deepdale Farm. Max relax up at North Norfolk in a small tent, searching out pubs during the day along some of the best coastline in the country. Other than being a bit cramped in my faux canvas habitat, it was all very enjoyable and I've returned feeling fresh and like I will never eat another crab again.
Here are a couple of pictures taken during my stay. The obligatory car shot, taken from my tent; and an image of a boat taken whilst walking along the coastal path in search of the Lifeboat Inn (sorry for the ridiculous walk Becky - we never did make it there did we).
