I hope you don't mind a couple of bus shots added ;D These are Flxibles from the 50s made under licence by Ansair here in Australia.

Hi Roo.
Wow they are stunning examples, definitely from the age of (misunderstood?) aerodynamics! Very nice series.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks Graham! They are impressive units. Flxible were one of the first to start using a rear engine design in the 30s, although this style was made from 1946-67. Over here they ran mainly on the interstate/tourist coach services as they were air conditioned as well.

Hi Roo.
Thanks for the added info. Aircon too, but then I guess out there it's pretty much essential once you know it exists! How did we manage before!

Cheers, Graham.

This car is not really my style, but still a fun picture.

Hi chasinglight.
Very nicely done, really sharp (at least looking at it on my ipad it is) even zoomed in.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yes, at least by my standards the shot is very sharp. It was a pretty difficult panning shot to pull off as the Jet Car was moving at a top speed ~300mph. I must have shot 20 frames in a burst and only one was really sharp. I am sure better panning technique and perhaps the better IS of the 100-400 II would have produced a few more keepers.

Fantastic work guys, like you Andy I also got into photography due to my passion for motorsports, I really enjoyed watching the images slowly uploading (slow connection speed at work) line by line there, it was like a little guessing game (nailed that Bugatti!! ;D), it’s summer here so not much chance of me seeing anything for the next two months :-[

Thanks I'm glad you guys like the shots, I'm lucky enough to photograph and drive the Porsche 993 all the time.

My favourite version of the second gen F body with the rally sport pack. The grille looks far better without the bumper splitting it in half
