Not bad, but that's sooo 2009... I guess that's why they didn't publish my work previously. They looked, and stole the idea. Finks.

they don't tell you which "weird, old" cameras they actually use for the shots!

I can care more about supercars. But i rather see old Fuji rabbit scooters, 360cc kei cars/trucks, and pre 1970's Japanese automobiles

As mentioned; A few reasons these were used was because a Canon 40D Digital SLR just broke.

"Minolta Dynax 300si with some superglue holding the lens to the body..

Lens on the Minolta is a normal kit 35-70 f3.5 with broken autofocus.
The films were Kodak Tmax3200 and Kodakolor 200. Bloody dark."

My dad had a Renault a long time ago (He can't remember if it was an 8 or a 10)... I think it was manufactured just after a long holiday. This car was literally cursed! On the same trip, the gas pedal fell to the floor (broken spring) and the stick shift broke off. My parents ended up driving back home over 1000km with a big screwdriver as a shift with a piece of underwear elastic tied to it to hold the gas pedal up!

They don't make them like this anymore :)

It works both ways, a decade ago I cruised this '74 Crown around London. Crown was the hi-end range from Toyota as Lexus is now. Most thought it American and it was dubbed Hawaii Five O. I'd love to drop a Japanese  'Century' in black, Chimpura style and as for French classics, just open your wallet and pour.

That's pretty stylish! The car, and the camera. Impressed! Skj.
