When Sat Navs Go Wrong

For Looking Close on Friday theme 'Toy Cars'.

 

Any resemblance to the iconic ending of Ridley Scott's 1991 film Thelma and Louise is purely intentional. But lacking a backdrop shot of the American West, I've had to substitute an image looking north to the Isle of Raasay from Skye.

 

I've had this idea for quite some time, but lacked an appropriate model car. When this theme came up, I checked out the local junk shop and found a model Mini Cooper and VW Beetle, neither of which were suitable. So went all out and 'shelled out' for this beautiful little Corgi MGB model convertible, never mind that it isn't a Thunderbird. A tricky part was finding snails that would be able to fit into the seats.

 

The weather remains total carp on Skye, with little respite from the generally poor conditions, so fortunately I have my snails to play with. Thanks to Maria for this week's theme - I've had hours of fun...

 

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
