Here's the place to chat about all things classic. Also includes a feedback forum where you can communicate directly with the editorial team - don't hold back, they'd love to know what they're doing right (or wrong of course!)
Yeah, she was a canine (Izzy) and my Almond Green, 1964 Morris Oxford VI was seen just before I fought the DVLA, won, and got its original plate back; 4388DG.
Picture taken during 1987 in Goring on Thames when I was there working.
Anyone else have any images showing domestic pets with old cars?

Here's one of mine: My two collies Chip and Poppy helping clear out some tree after we bought a smallholding in Lochwinnoch, N-Ayrshire.
The Landy is an ex-RAF V8 (no power steering!!) I used alongside an old Merc G-Wagen and a Nissan Terrano.
Cheers Karl, I took that with my much-missed Olympus OM10, a strange camera that used stuff called "film" to record images chemically rather than as digital information.
The original prints had long since faded to nothing, but as the negs were ok, I had them printed out at 9"x6" and scanned the prints.
There are a few more, I'll post them to my flickR account as and when I get the time to scan them.

Slightly off topic, but wouldn't you be better off getting a negative scanner, rather than paying to have large prints made then scanning them? Like you, I used to use that "film" stuff and have loads of negatives. I'm planning to use the long winter days of my retirement, when it's too cold to go into the garage, to digitise them, but I suspect, like converting my vinyl LPs to CD, it won't get done.
I've tried a negative scanner, but it wouldn't render this particular film. Something to do with the type of film used not matching any of the scanning modes available, which are defined by brand. It does work well with pretty much anything Kodak, but this film was Supasnaps own brand, possibly all the more remarkable that it worked at all.
Many of the rest of my old photies are on slides and I do have the means of dealing with those so stand by for much Morris Oxford-related nostalgia - I've owned 3 and there has been a total of 8 A60-shaped cars in the family - with some A40 Dorset and Jowett Javelin thrown in, though those without large canine content will perhaps be posted in the general board instead of O/T?

I'm surprised it couldn't come up with a usable/tweakable result from just about any film. But if it helps, Supasnaps wouldn't have made their own film, they'd have rebranded cheap film from someone like 3M, Agfa or Konica. The country of manufacture was always the clue to which, usually Italy, Germany or Japan. If the film's behaving oddly, I'd try a setting for Agfa first.
