I figured that as I went to the Redmond Exotic’s Car show and the theme was British cars, I should post something from the UK.  Ironically most of my favorite British cars weren’t there (no idea why), but there were a few interesting models.  For example there was this MG J2.

The J2 was a two-seater roadster that came out in 1933.  It had a top speed of 65 miles an hour (and that was a lot for a commercial car) and cost a whopping £199 (that’s around $310).  The car had no roof and was pretty open to the elements – tiny doors and a little windscreen.  But it looked cool – especially the front of the car as it had a lot of chrome on the car.

I wanted to get a good composition but there were loads of people walking behind the car and were in shot.  The car was partially in shade and it was the front of the car with the yellow grill that caught my attention.  So I thought I’d try to capture a picture of that.  So I went to the front of the car and lied down on the floor and took the shot below.  My friend Chris who was there with me taking pictures thought I was nuts, people were walking round me as I laid in front of the car.  But I’m kind of immune to funny looks these days, so I don’t care.

Anyway considering the conditions I’m pretty pleased with the shot, I think the car came out well and there aren’t too many distractions around the car.

Tonight the guys started packing for tomorrows trip to Maui.
