Restoring History (_DSC3998)

This photo was ranked amongst the "World's Best Photo of Malaysia"

After an amazing 41 years and over 5.3 million cars, the Rover Mini finally ended production on the 4th of October 2000. The story does not end here however - A new "MINI" arrived to much fanfare and a new generation of fans - and the "Classic" Mini retains a HUGE following from its fans around the world. Long live the Mini! Mini World and Mini Resources are two links I can suggest to you guys to start your reading.

Wonder why all this fuss about Mini? Well, I practically grew up in one. And please look as what it might have looked like before the restoration, a parody by a good friend CS Wong

Gears: Nikon D50, Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI
Location: Kampung Cina (Chinatown), Kuala Terengganu, Terengganu, Malaysia

    First. A different side of Shutterhack. But still as compelling as the other images. The composition is spot on, as always. I have this lens which I haven't used much and certainly I have not yet come up with an image nearly as amazing as this one.

    LOL... hahah :) and I thought automobil just not quite your thing imago
    Thanks imago

    If the automobile is as photogenic as this one, it can be my thing too. Well, I guess that's all up to the photographer.

    I know it can rain a lot in KL .I had to drill holes in the floor pan to let the water out from mine in the late 60s..happy days' Nice composition and the 50 1.4 is superb on the dig.

    I love this car, so call me biased, but I love what you've done with it. I've taken documentary shots of the Mini's existence – this, on the other hand, is a portrait.

    The original Mini must be the most photogenic car ever produced, Its cheeky iconic looks captured so very well here.
