I took a few pics of the car as I was leaving work tonight.  The sun was just dipping down with some nice light effect on the car, so I snapped a few quick pics with new iPhone 7 Plus.

Very nice as usual.
That new iphone certainly has a hell of a camera on it :drool:

Yes I'm a council jobsworth you know.  :laugh:

I knocked off early yesterday, so I could take my daughter out for tea and then Trick or Treating.  I normally finish around 6pm but was under pressure strict instructions that I had to do 'Halloween'.   Flexitime is a great thing ;-) not to mention all the 'in leiu' time I have accrued from sitting in council meetings that go on till 10pm.  :tongue:  :grin:

I have a device that emits an invisible force field around it and a massive sign that says "I have a dashcam, so if you so much as breath on my car I will know about it, and I will hunt you down and ....".  Does the trick.

Joking aside, I park right at the top of the car park which is on a hill and most of my colleagues are too lazy to walk up to the top, preferring to park lower down in the infamous door ding zone.  I used to be one of the only cars in that row, but appear to have set a hot hatch trend, as I now have a Fiesta ST, a RenaultSport and the occasional Civic Type R that keep me company.  There is an unspoken agreement that we leave a space between us.  However things don't always go according to plan, and now and then some interloper will venture up the hill and break the golden rule.  And it spells disaster - one of these occasions earlier this year, resulted in me having to take a trip to the bodyshop to get the bumper partially resprayed after some idiot kindly scraped it all coming out of their space - they never owned up.  This and a few other damage incidents courtesy of others, led me to get front and rear dash cams.  And a few weeks ago the Fiesta ST had a big dent put in his door by someone - he was NOT happy.
