merc,
Of course i had one, called it Animal, because it ate money, but it did take me to Curio Bay, woke in the morning with dolphins yin yang flipping as I watched from the open sidedoor.

Beautiful luminous images, handheld, no flash, for various reasons should be put out there more. Social anthropology, petrol head book buyers and even art. The moving vehicle shots I have seen are quite cinematic. The strangely empty streets intriguing. Punks down the side streets, heh.

Ephemera: The 'Flash Cars Etc' Snaps Gallery exhibition poster. Not sure if this was the first or second exhibition but it dates from 1976/77.

merc,
My trusty Toyota Corolla SW, manual, took me here to the end of the line, Bluecliffs, next stop Stewart Island, so I could surf it. Also took me to strange offroad spots on the SI West Coast, where locals would wonder how the hell it ever got me to there. Lived in it for a while.

Crikey, Richard. I think you’re taking the term ‘flash’ a little too literally. Gather you had ‘stepped away from the vehicle’ before it caught fire?

merc,
My friend had a Rambler, this was mine, Alpha GT1300 Junior, 150bhp. We used to swap cars depending on the occasion.

This is a car I bought in the US of A . I drove route 66 from Kansas to LA with my lil' bro'. We had a problem just outside of Flagstaff. Turned out to be the rocker arm. Pulled into a tiny blink and miss it town (and forget the name town) The first garage we found had the red custom chev that the mechanic owned out side.
Me: "Was wondering if you could help me and my car?"
Albert: "That depends on entirely what sortsa car you drive miss"
Me : I have a 56' chev
Albert: "Hells, bring her on in" -
Cadillac Eldorado 1969 Taipa car fair 2008
If you're ever up that way over new year it's well worth a look. -
After staying the night in the small town, (we had been snowed in, roads out of town closed), Albert found me a brand new rocker arm on a Sunday ,fitted it a gifted me a new badge for the front. We proceeded to LA and got there in time to miss the reggae festival I had planned to see.

A great rarity in NZ. Probably the very model driven by Pablo Picasso:
Well the girls would turn the color of an avocado
As he would drive down their street in his Eldorado
He was only five foot three but girls could not resist his stare, so . . . -

Resembles a scene from Monte Hellman’s “Two Lane Blacktop” Sofie, the Chevies are rather clean though!

My sister and her man collected old cars. She still has a Citroen light 15. These I imagine are still in that shed on his farm.

The weird bit was that the whole town (Population 450 ish) had chevs. It was delightful.
Ok so in my past life I was co owner of this 57' Bel Air.Him like the car are long gone. -
Mistake, will try again.

On a tiki tour around the North Island a couple of friends wanted to stop over at Ruatoria.Their family were restoring this Marae on the beach. We all slept there for the night, then we continued on around the North Island the next afternoon.
Magnificent place. Took the horses down to the beach and were served Paua cooked in butter and garlic. Lovely place, lovely people, lovely hospo. :) -
Back at my journey across America, this photo was taken when the weather declined to -10 degs. As the photo indicates, it was fucking cold. my face felt like it was going to explode.

Here's one I co owned with an X . 240 Z Datsun 197?. In Sydney.

And... this was his car when we first met. We obviously had a mutual interest.

And this is my next mode of transport. ;)
