My favorite local car show was yesterday. Here’s a whole bunch of pictures taken with a shitty camera.

Needs more LeCar.

Yeah, I’m still swapping motors, so mine couldn’t make it. I was disappointed in the lack of Le Cars, too.

Neat cars! I think your shitty camera takes great pictures.

Thanks! Me, too, which is why I keep using it despite it being pink and made by Casio.

Lots of pictures of the cool cars of france and italy? Lots of cool pictures of cool cars!

Did all your Alfettas get that awesome Sport Sedan badge? And where to start... That 2600... Those Fulvias... That Scorpion... THAT PANHARD!

Gorgeous! So many very pretty Alfas and Frenchies! Any FIAT 500s or FIAT 126s in the mix? :P

I know they don’t rank with your photographic masterpieces, but I like the way that crappy Casio takes pictures.

I had never seen that Sport Sedan script before, but I love it. You don’t see too many of those, so maybe it was a standard badge. I wish there were more Panhards. There’s never enough Panhards. That one has a “ Tigre ” badge, but I’m not totally convinced it’s a Tigre . The bevy of Lancias and Simcas made up for the lack of Panhards I think. No Le Cars, though. And that 2600 is totally amazeballs. I need one of those.

Nothing crappy about these pictures. NOTTIN’! What Casio? Your watch? ;-)

2600's might just be one of my favorite Alfas. Too bad there were no DB’s. And you’ve got to love the way how that 505's owner next to the pink 2CV spells Peugeot !

My old reliable Casio Exilim 7.2 megapixels with YouTube capture mode. This is actually my second one. I had to buy a new one off Craigslist for 20 bucks when my old one couldn’t handle daylight any more. This one’s older and even crappier than my other one which makes me like the photos even more.

Kinja'd!!!

Pink, of course.

The face on the 2600 is just a thing of beauty that only a mother could love. That little Junior was part DB. Pujo! Just like Cujo.

I talked to the local French car repair guy and he doesn’t like them. I don’t know why, since they’re so great. But I guess they’re not old or weird enough for some people.


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee

7.2 Mega Pixels? You need to tune down. There has to be 4MP available on Craigslist. And real men do wear pink. Always.

Pujol! What is that already again? I think it’s a soccerplayer or something.


Kinja'd!!! Jonee > Jobjoris
11/07/2016 at 18:26

Kinja'd!!!1

I’d like to find one that’s 4 regular pixels. That’d be some interesting impressionist photography. When Patty gets pregnant, she says that she’s 1.2 Mega Pixels.

There’s a baseball player named Albert Pujols. Pronounced “poo holes.”

no pics of the 505 next to the pink 2cv?

Sorry. I don’t know why I skipped that one. It looked great and well worn.


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee
11/08/2016 at 03:41

Kinja'd!!!1

Haha, 4 Pixels! That would be great. Wait, I think I have one of those. Selfie in Dutch Angle:

Kinja'd!!!

No, it was Carles Puyol, one of world’s best defenses. From Spain.


Kinja'd!!! Jonee > Jobjoris

That’s quite an outfit you’re wearing. Very early 90's.

Ah. I don’t know him. He looks like a beast on the pitch, though.


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee
11/09/2016 at 04:02

Kinja'd!!!1

I was young. I needed the money. Glad there were only 4P cameras back then.

If you want a beast on the field better call Nigel.

I can still tell it’s you. The beard gives it away.

Haha. Wow. Is he the Bruce Lee of Dutch soccer?


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee
11/10/2016 at 04:43

Kinja'd!!!1

Ah, I thought it was the pink Poloshirt. Real men wear pink.

Totally. The guy on the left is a sneaky bastard as well. Mark van Bommel. Great defense. Retiring now.


Kinja'd!!! Jonee > Jobjoris
11/11/2016 at 00:51

Kinja'd!!!1

Paired with brown. Totally man colors. Or is the brown the beard?

van Bommel is a good name for a defenseman. It reminds me of “pummel.”


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee
11/11/2016 at 04:05

Kinja'd!!!1

The 4P selfie I took on a Friday morning. Lots of facial hair and wild hairdo at that time/day. So both beard and hair.

Van Pummel was the son-in-law of our beloved trainer of the national team. That could be awkward in the field.

The Alfetta was sold in North America under the Alfetta name from 1975-1977 and just the Sports Sedan name (no Alfetta) from 1978-1979.

Ah, interesting. Thanks. That’s kind of like Toyota calling their truck, Truck.

What kind of awkward?


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee
11/14/2016 at 04:31

Kinja'd!!!1

The kind of awkward when playing like a hobgoblin for weeks and still being part of the selection. You’re often just the son-of on field.


Kinja'd!!! Jonee > Jobjoris
11/15/2016 at 00:44

Kinja'd!!!1

It is tough being the son-of. I was a son-of to the Secret Agent my whole life. That’s kind of the basis of this screenplay I’m working on about the son of a superhero.

I know, I’ve told you what my dad used to be, right?


Kinja'd!!! Jonee > Jobjoris
11/16/2016 at 01:44

Kinja'd!!!1

I do remember. Mr. Mayor. Must have been a very similar upbringing. You’ll be able to relate to the story.


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee
11/16/2016 at 03:53

Kinja'd!!!1

Haha, totally. Another issue was the fact my next door neighbor was a school director at my high school. Even he could not keep me out of trouble...


Kinja'd!!! Jonee > Jobjoris
11/17/2016 at 02:23

Kinja'd!!!1

Wow, yeah. That’s a lot of pressure from all sides. I could do whatever I wanted in high school. We had this nice, African-American vice-principal (the vice-principal is always in charge of discipline), and when Jesse Jackson ran for president, she saw me at one of his rallies. From then on, she and I were cool and I was allowed to get away with anything.


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee
11/17/2016 at 04:36

Kinja'd!!!1

Your vice-principal was female. We all know what effect you have on women, she had no chance whatsoever when she first met you anyway!


Kinja'd!!! Jonee > Jobjoris
11/20/2016 at 01:52

Kinja'd!!!1

You could be right. Especially older women. They love me for some reason. One randomly complimented my hair the other day. Does that ever happen to you?


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee
11/20/2016 at 04:09

Kinja'd!!!1

The curls get all the girls. Right. Remember Corry? Of course this happens to me.


Kinja'd!!! Jonee > Jobjoris
11/21/2016 at 16:41

Kinja'd!!!1

I don’t have curls. Maybe that’s my problem. I should get a perm. Is it just Corry, or does it happen all the time?


Kinja'd!!! Jobjoris > Jonee

Haha, well not just Corry but certainly not ALL THE TIME!
