Strike a pose!

When taking a photo of a car, I am never sure of which is the best placement for the front wheels. The photo below provides an excellent opportunity to compare all three. For general purpose, all around picture taking, which one floats your boat?

Remember, you are NOT voting on the car or the owner, just the pose.

We just moved our cars over to make room for london's and hoped he would show off those beautiful wheels. They look so good in person.

I think the angle of the wheels depends on the camera angle. It's better to have the hubs visible than just the front of the tire. The tire is just black treads (or black treads with whatever mess you've recently run over), but it's more interesting, visually, to have something else showing.

I'm also rather surprised. For some reason, I actually thought London380SL was actually in London! Guess I'm rather naive!

He is in London isn't he? London Ontario that is. And his wheels are the best so the group was right to show them off.

I'm going to take this as a vote for the popularity of the owner .
.
It was great meeting Dugold and Smack (nice to be able to put a face to the name).
.
And yes, I'm from London, Ontario - the place that also has a river Thames flowing through it and we have a Sherwood Forest. Evidently a bunch of englishmen must have settled here.
