Thanks to the miracle of Global Warming, we are snowed in here in Georgia. I took the occasion to photograph my car in the rare white stuff.

In preparation for this photo shoot I had to shift my two vehicles around. The A made it to its appointed spot and then back into the garage. My 1998 pickup is hopelessly stuck for the duration. Delicious irony.

Like the pics, Peter. I always like a black A, especially in the snow..

nice pictures
Look's like it could be in the 30's

From OP (original poster)

Even though I was born in the mid-1940s I have always loved the '30s. My house was built in 1936 and I spent several years trying to restore it to more-or-less period condition and appearance. Once that was done I started looking for appropriate accessories and ended up with a 1930 automobile.

Fred K-OR · 01-10-2011, 12:54 PM

Peter, great job on both the house and A.

Peter,

Great picks of your cool (pun intended...) Tudor!

The black definitely looks good with the lack of extra "fooferall" on it. Looks like you could use some hub caps though. I'm into antiques to besides cars. I use to use candlestick phones exclusively in my last home. In my new one in a semi-rural setting it does not have phone lines, so they say. And to put ones in they want plenty extra bucks which I don't think is right. Heck, the cable company has lines up on poles?? What ever, we only have cellphone service because of the less cost.

pdora,
News says you folks have 'no snow plows' down there

! Is that true, to your knowledge? lol

TinCup · 01-10-2011, 04:48 PM

James great picture. I notice you have it pointed downhill just in case the battery goes

Snow plow? What an intriguing idea. We get so little snow (at least until the era of Global Warning) that it would be impractical to invest in specialized equipment or chemicals (salt? ugh). We just wait it out. Unlike our northern brothers (AKA damn Yankees) we don't know how to drive in snow an ice, so we shut down for the duration.

It's pointed down hill because I live on top of one and there is not much flat land around me. This is a view down my drive.

Now, that is really beautiful country. I could move there in a minute. Wish moving wasn't so expensive.

Hubcaps will go back after the wheels are repainted later this winter. I am going to black on black. Should really contrast with the occasional snow.

Pete,

Your smiling face should melt that snow.....very nice home an car!

Holy cow Pete ...you left it out in the snow and someone stole the hub caps...
