Today we had our annual car event "Tour de Rü" (has taken place in my quarter). It was quite nice and after a couple of beers I made some pics with my cell phone.
So, apologizes for the partly bad quality. :drink:

"I'm the probably oldest four wheeled Morgan 4/4 and built in 1937.
From 1937-1972 I was owned by a certain Mr. Churchill..."

Nice phone. :o
Got no pics of you with any of the cars?
To be honest: I prefer to stay visually Mr. X... (http://www.mysmilie.de/midi-smileys/figuren/1/0020.gif) (http://www.mysmilie.de/)

I see.
:lurk:
Very nice. What is a model name of the VW on a last photo?
Right click on the pics reveals the name of each car. (as far as I knew them, e.g. the USAmerican 'Ford' remained a mystery to me...)
The VW Typ 147 Kleinlieferwagen was nicknamed 'Fridolin' and was originally built for German Federal Post.

Looks like a 1958 Ford Fairlane 500.
BTW, this picture post is featured on the entry page. :)

Some real nice stuff here. I just love the colour of Mr. Churchill's Morgan!
I was mostly impressed by the sound of the Sunbeam Tiger! For such a tiny car it makes a brutal noise! (V8 289cui powerplant!)
Front Page Feature!

Thanks again!
You have a most interesting collection of smilies, sir! ;D
While the Alfa Zagato is quite delicious, this Aston Martin really makes my pulse race. What a beautiful motorcar! :faint:

I'd say your cell phone takes more than adequate photos. Nice job. :thumbsup:
BTW, I did a Google search for Tour de Ru and came up with nothing useful, except some sites that were part of a Russian spy network or something. :o Where in the world are you located. Do not answer that if it will blow your cover. :D
I'm located in the European Capital of Culture 2010. (to get the right city take a look at my profile)
