Now something a bit different from the Labor Day Parade: a Fiat Abarth 850 with an eye-striking Gulf livery!

Awesome ride. Great shot there, HGDC84! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thats a fun little thing HGDC84,   did Porche use that colour scheme to for a special edition.

Great shots.    The Fiat Abarth is quite different in design.

I think some Porsche(s?) did use that livery theme/color scheme, and I know for sure that Ford used that on some of their GT40s. I think the Gulf liveries have been quite popular in motorsports.

It is, and what I have always found interesting in these parades is the variance of styles and designs in the vehicles taking part. Makes for an interesting watch :-)

Ah yes,  GT40 is the other place I saw that.   Good memory.

Fantastic!

You can never have too much variety.

It indeed was a very nice car :-)

Not yours, then?

Unfortunately, no. I'll have to stick up with a very ordinary station wagon Mondeo :-D

Reliable wheels.
Back on the totem theme:   I spotted this today. A wood carving of a WW One British Soldier.

Yeah, it might not be the most fastest nor prettiest car, but it has lasted in a reasonably good condition for a long while, only occasionally requiring some repairs and maintenance.

As for the totem, must have taken some time to create that. That's a nice find :-)

It's in a lovely little village called Ashford-on-the-Water in central England. About 40 Kms from where I live.

Seems like your region has many talented people when talking about the creators of these sculptures and totems :-)

There are certainly far more of these sculptures around than I ever realized.

Thanks, you too!

Always my pleasure. Cheers!

Very cool car!

Yes, it indeed is. There were many great ones in the parade and in the gathering, I'll just have to post more pics here when I have the time. :-)

Time is a big factor.

It sure is, and my May has been very busy indeed, with all the birthdays of me and my relatives and projects that have taken some time. But luckily it's mostly good news :-)

True that, we really need them now.

Exactly.
You can't have enough of that.

I love those colours !

Yes, the Gulf livery's color scheme is pretty iconic :-)
