oo Phil another fabulous car shot, love the smoke and refelction in the body what is this????
Phil Deaves replied
Hi Patricia…thanks for taking a look. I’ve added some details in the description. The smoke is from the tyres as the driver deliberately spins the rear wheels in order to increase their grip.

Very nice shot Phil. Some of those cars are totally awsome!
Phil Deaves replied
Hey Ross…many thanks my friend. I agree…these cars are ‘something else’.
