Cars

[Marcel]

I thought some of you might enjoy some of the photos I took yesterday in the "Louwman museum" in The Hague. A couple of significant ones, like Der Kaiser's car when he lived here in exile and the Cadilac of "the King" of course. And not to forget 007's original Aston Martin DB5 from the movie Goldfinger, including all the gadgets like machineguns, bullet proof screen and an ejection seat. It's just a small selection from my photos in that magnificent museum.

Great pics Marcel.
I recently found some 35mm transparencies I took in a museum on Jersey, in 1976, which had a fine collection, including one of Monty's cars, and some German WW2 vehicles. When I'm a bit more mobile, I'll try to scan them and post them here.

Sounds like a good plan Terry.
Few more. One is a photo of a 1920'ies hybrid engine (electric + combustion engine), showing that the Toyota Prius was nothing new at all. The F1 car is the 2009 Toyota car which was driven by Jarno Truli.
