I love these old cars you see all around Poland. Many of them are now retro rental cars. Maybe next time I will hire one to drive around the city in.

If you ever visit Newlands Brewery (their brew tour is amazing), don’t forget to stick your head into the garage on the side of the parking lot. They have an old steam engine, a wagon and lovely old car. Just a small piece of SAB history.
Lion Lager train (they still brew Lion Lager but only every 4 years)
“Charles Glass” wagon
Newlands Brewery Delivery car
I don’t think this taxi is going to be going anywhere soon. I spotted it on the side of the M5, completely burned down. There is nothing flammable left inside the taxi. It also looks like everything salvageable has been removed – even the engine has gone!
I hope that nobody was harmed.
This old car has been around the block a few times I think…seen at Oude Molen eco village.
Today’s picture is much closer to home. It was shot about 9 months ago at a car show, and I was never happy with how I processed it.
While I would love to shoot this again without all the other cars and people in the background, I am much more happy with this version.
Whenever I look at an old car like this, I wonder where it came from, what sort of life did it live, and what stores can it tell?
This is the last of the shots from the recent Classic car expo (unless I find anymore that I have missed). I love the classic feel to this old truck, complete with wooden spokes and the wishbone suspension. If you scratched around in the bed of the truck, you could find all manner of interesting things, including old car radios, speedometers, wires and random tools.
The truck is still licensed and in running order, I am glad that somebody is looking after it.
Two more of the classic cars, these old beauties remind me of the evil car in Stephen King’s novel Christine – the car that killed people.
This lovely old car was shot at the classic car expo yesterday. I took tons of photos, so watch the blog for more to follow.
This old Morris Minor has clearly seen better days. I hope that somebody is planning on restoring her, but I think that it is going to take a great deal of work to get it running again.
Isn’t it amazing how nostalgic we get about old cars? We give them genders, we feel bad when they get old, and we have an inner urge to maintain and look after them forever.My first cars was an orange Opel Kadett (which was my mothers and then brothers). It leaked in the rain, and sometimes mushrooms grew on the carpets, but it was my first car, and I loved it. Although I was a little relieved when I upgraded to a newer car (also a purchased hand me down, but this time a Toyota Corolla). I can still easily remember every car that I have owned since. Considering that cars are just bits of metal and glass, our attachment to cars is all rather strange.
What was your first car?
I love this old car that I spotted, and the best part is that it is in fully working order, well at least it is running.
