Car show

I'M A BIT OF A GEARHEAD, so the auto show is a highlight of my year. For a few years now I've had a regular gig covering it for a website, but there are always a bunch of shots I like but can't fit into the story. Here are a few. As ever, click on the photos to see a larger version.

At least a few of the cars on display are lovingly lit on the showroom floor to help the media get the best possible photos. Of course I appreciate the effort.

What always amazes me, though, is how these glamorous hunks of glass and metal turn into dull, indistinguishable heaps within minutes of leaving the showroom floor. Not all cars mind you, but most of them.

One of these days I'm really going to have to learn how to drive.
