Thanks for your comment Doug, actually this is a very low-tech parking garage lacking even elevators for seven floors. So what your keen eye sees is not a monitor reflecting, but the nearest window providing minimal daylight to supplement the flourescents.

Is that a closed circuit television reflecting near the LF headlight? I like the dark feeling of the picture.

Thanks much all. I suppose I could have gone darker with it and still could, but hoped the dinginess suggested darkness enough. That's very cool you had one of these Rod ( Paul will wonder how you got your fat butt in the thing!). As a kid in the 60's we would go back up to Canada to visit the relatives most years, and I loved seeing these little cars that weren't sold in America whipping around. My dream car was an S version like you had- yellow too. This person seems to have a John Cooper special edition- worth a lot now I would expect. And yes, we Yanks call parking spaces stalls (doesn't lend to thinking you car will start again once you park there does it?).

I get the dark feeling that something unsavory is going on - nice car and out of place in the space its parked. Someone sitting in the car and shadowed would add some more mystery to it. Well done. jano

Is a parking space called a stall over there Brent? I like the look of the shot but I would have gone a bit darker just for this topic but it does look dingy that's for sure. Back in 1969 when we got married we had a new Mini Cooper S & drove 3000 miles to Perth from Sydney init, 500 miles of it on dirt across the Nullarbor Plain:-) Great little car full of memories even though it was yellow:-)

I like the car but not the parking space. Nice shot.

Yes, that IS a dingy stall - I wouldn't want to walk there in the dark - it looks spooky! CJ
