Wow, thank you sooo much! Especially because you did get just light shot with my professional "turn your brain off and let the words come (and here especially with bad english)" style. xD You can just wonder what it is at my Autiot ja unohdetut Facebook-page with finnish poem-like text for each photos... that's really deep shit comparing to these. xD But must say that you have excellent taste, so maybe it's worth to get one absinthe shot still. ^^
Posted by MrBungle Really love your style of photography. These old cars create a seriously oppertunic scene and I love how you utilize that, Every photo here is done really well. Thanks for sharing them!

Thank you so much. Believe or not, but in me it is ever going battle. At good days some part of me can somewhat believe that I can do quite well what I am doing... but most days it's more like I can't do even this shit at all, feeling kind of shamed that I even try. So strange after all this years but I suppose it just is part of being me. But main thing is: I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you so much for them!
Posted by Hawkwind It's always great to see some "Detroit Iron" in foreign countries...

I so can believe that, I've been in love with American cars for all of my so far 45 (or was it already 46, I'm not sure xD ) life. My parent's first car for most of my childhood were '67 Rambler Rebel STW. At some part my father were thinking to sell that thing, but I did say that if it goes, your son goes with it... so it did stay with us.
Few decades later even I did understand that if it won't go, it will die. One friend did buy it. After few decades without use fuel tank were rusted away, but with fuel some bottle they DID GET IT STARTED! After that they did get it moving, but after kilometer or two, cardan shaft did break in two by rust... and lately they did demolish whole car (still feeling sad about it).
My own first car were 1982 Buick Regal, but just that 4 door version with 3,8 engine. Sadly that did also break by engine at one winter and after checking it was too rust to fix... even now I completely disagree to that mistake.
My brother did have '80s Mercury Colony Park and '77 Ford Country Squire.
And lately my woman did start to tought how she have never had OWN car. After few moments she did find 1985 LTD Brougham with 3,8 engine, museum registered, so it really is in good condition.
And after this tooooo looooooooooooooooooong story I have to mention the
"biggest one day car show in northern Europe thing",
Pick-Nick in my hometown Forssa. Over 2000 mostly American made cars so... it's quite deep in me.
P.S. If someone knows 1967 Rambler Rebel STW or 1982 Buick Regal with 4 doors in good condition and not too expensive price... I would be interested to know.
