That's an excellent idea Zeb. Would you like to include non National trust historic buildings as well, that will give our foreign chums a chance to join in. I'm thinking of majeds Pic with Mont St Michel on his 75
I can copy his post to this thread or would it be more appropriate to start a new thread off?
You choose, but I think a new thread and title would be good.

Good idea Zeb. I nearly took one at Upton House but couldn't get the car anywhere near the house (you used to be able to drive right up to it). The car park now is the field next door.

Nothing to stop you cheating a little bit with the help of Photoshop like this one, Simon!

With all due

to Simon W for giving me the idea...

How about the above? It could be stickied in the Social forum with an explanation at the beginning?

Looks good to me, go ahead and do the first post with explanation, I'm sure you have the proper worms to use.
Anybody caught cheating will be sold into slavery, that's if anybody will have them.

Go for it

Lightpainter - I'm not good enough with Photoshop yet. How did you get the background through the car's windows?

GG - the slave trade has been abolished for 200 years

You obviously haven't been to see the film "Amazing Grace" yet

Simon, you just take hundreds of photos of your 75 in different locations and try to match them to the background you’re pasting too! Looks cleverer than it is, don’t it?

It had me fooled Peter - those wooden posts appear to continue behind the car (visible through the windows).

Now you've spilt the beans, I can see they're not the same posts. Damned close match though.

If you hadn't said anything I'd never have sussed it.

Went to Charlecote Park yesterday (National Trust). No cars allowed anywhere near the house so took a bird pic instead.

This is Sophie - a seven year old Umbrella Cockatoo. Apparently, these birds can live to be eighty!

Sophie is a real sweetheart and likes to be cuddled.
