Oh, man! Vanishing Point.
Colorado State HP Officer: Nevada, this is Colorado State Highway Patrol. This is about a special query raised by the Utah Highway Patrol. - Affirmative, that's correct, but later they asked that the information be forwarded to you guys, so get ready for some details. Put on your tape recorders and all that sort of jazz, huh? Apparantly this speed maniac you've been chasing all over your territory is a former professional road racer named Kowalski, K-O-W-A-L-S-K-I, repeat Kowalski. First name unkown, other particulars also unknown. All we do know is that he's employed as a car delivery driver by an agency in Denver. He's presently driving a Dodge Challenger, Colorado licence plate OA-5599. This is not a stolen car; he's driving it to San Francisco for delivery due Monday.
Nevada State HP Officer: It's only Saturday, what's his hurry?
Colorado State HP Officer: That's what we wanted to know ourselves, so your guess is as good as ours. 10-4.
I moved back to England when I was 16. I had a live in job at a gentleman's club as a chef in training. I made just enough money at the time to keep myself in smokes and I swear the rest went to a local theater where "Vanishing point" was playing. I must have watched it a bazillion times I do remember however, one night on Kensington High Street, low and behold. the real thing drove by and it was white It will always be cool to turn a corner and find one parked in an alley.
What a wonderful car in such wonderful condition. I mean seriously, look at that thing. Speechless quite honestly.

Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!
gotta love the old muscle cars
" A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart and leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. " Irving Penn
" There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." - Ansel Adams
No kidding Ed, I think I would love this car too.
