Backed up against a bin, managing to fit it into frame was a tad difficult.

One of the first M2's i can recall seeing, revisited.
Visible upgrades include larger Brembo brakes and Akrapovič exhaust system fitted.
Location: Berlin - 126km from home.
One of the cooler M2s out there. The color is obviously just a wrap, one that doesn't look too good, to be honest.
But it's a great color to sport on an M2.
ZS = Szczecin
Location: Lugano, Switzerland
There seemed to be an endless supply of M-cars for the locals in Lugano, much like there is in Berlin. I like the M2, however, substantially better than M3 or M4.
TI = Ticino

British exotics were among the most common exotics and I guess it's absolutely normal for them to go to the nicer areas of Italy and France during their summer trips, especially when you can afford your holidays there.
EJ = Chelmsford
Finishing a week of model ships, here's the most modern of the lot, although already consigned to history. She is HMS Chatham (F87), the last of the Batch III versions of the Type 22 frigate.
The early (Batch I) Type 22s were limited in size due to the limitations of the Frigate Refit Complex in Plymouth. When the latter was expanded, this permitted the larger Batch II and III variants. The Batch Is and IIs were the only ships designed for the Royal Navy from the outset without a main gun and this was later deemed an error, corrected in the Batch IIIs.
The Batch Is were intended primarily as ASW units, whilst the Batch IIs were configured to be forward-deployed early-warning units. The Batch IIIs incorporated lessons learned in the Falklands and the weapons fit was changed, becoming more optimised to a general warfare role.
The only major weapon system shared with the Batch Is and IIs was the pair of manually-reloaded six-cell Seawolf launchers fore and aft. The Batch IIIs were fitted with the 4.5" gun, primarily for naval gunfire support. Exocet was replaced by Harpoon, providing the RN with a long-overdue surface-to-surface over-the-horizon missile capability. Each Batch III was also fitted with a Goalkeeper CIWS.
Like the later Batch IIs, the hangar was enlarged compared with earlier ships, allowing the forthcoming Merlin helicopter to be carried. In the meantime, two Lynx could be fitted in the hangar, but the ships almost always operated with just one. The model displays a rather sad and simple ASW Sea King, which could land on, but was not intended to be resident on board.
In their final form, the Batch IIIs at 5,300 tons standard displacement were the largest frigates ever built for the Royal Navy. Indeed, they were just shy of the displacement of some WWII cruisers!
Chatham was commissioned in No. 2 Basin of Chatham Dockyard in 1990. Courtesy of her connection with the town, she unusually had a motto in English: "Up and at 'em", reflecting the rallying cry of the town's football and rugby teams.
She was the first Royal Navy ship to open fire during Operation Telic in 2003, firing 60 rounds in support of the Royal Marines on the al-Faw peninsula. However, like the rest of the class, she became the victim of post-Cold War defence cuts and was decommssioned in 2011 before being sold for scrap in 2013.

Note to whom it may concern: As a member of the Philippine Bus Enthusiasts Society (PhilBES) and its junior and affiliate group, the Philippine Bus Photographers Association (PBPA), both of which are communities/groups of bus and coach enthusiasts and amateur photographers, that focus on bus companies' history, technical specifications of vehicles, and other related subject matter, that is based in the Philippines, I would like inform you that the number plate of the bus on this photo has been blurred out to prevent it being used as evidence by any agencies, whether be it privately-owned or government-owned, to apprehend the said vehicle or the operating company of the vehicle on the photo at times when the said vehicle may be involved in any motoring mishap, incident, or accident. This is to prevent the involvement of myself, and/or any members of the groups stated to any such cases or the hassles and possible dangers presented with being involved at such cases. I would also like to stress out that I am NOT a part nor am I affiliated or connected in any way with any bus companies inside or outside the country. At times when you may experience any of employees of the operating company of the bus on the photo behave in an offensive manner; such that of reckless driving, lack of manners towards the passengers, incorrect and excessive charging of fare, and any other offenses they may commit, I do advise you report them to their respective managements for further action.
However, despite the limitation I stated earlier about the use of my photos, any person is free to download and use any of my photos to any general or civilian use such as advertisement and other promotional use, school works, or personal interests about the subject.

HMS CHATHAM seen on 4 Nov 2009 in an unknown location
Location: Düsseldorf - 868km from home.
I was very surprised to find a Polish exotic in Düsseldorf. Unlike Berlin, going to Düsseldorf takes a lot more time, especially when you're from a location that far away. Tychy is a major hub in southern Poland and Silesia.

I was surprised to find a Danish M2 in February. Not only is the M2 a rather expensive car in Denmark, it's also not that common to see Danish exotics during winter here. It's one of the few foreign M2s I've seen so far.
