Hi Tony G
It is quite unnerving what can do with photoshop. Many years ago a house of mine had had some (countered) problems with subsidence. The Council proposed a very deep sewer alongside and ignored warnings. Being a pessimistic realist I took "before" photos including the newspaper cover of the day. The poorly supervised work turned out a vastly greater disaster even than I imagined but the Council legal team, in accordance with the tradition of their noble profession, would concede nothing. My photos saved the day and got me a rebuilt basement. I suspect today the public spirited souls would have held out.
The notion of not showingthe width of the car has some basis. I found with my car in the 1960s I would often use the dim bulb in the city. Very few other cars then had Dim lamps in the main reflectors. Combined with the spacing pedestrians would look at the car and step out when very close. Fortunately the uniques Seven steering enables square evasive action. (Is it the elk test which Mercedes failed some years ago? The Seven can step around an object and straighten up before it has time to fall over.)
Barbeques were for the future. A Thermette or Primuss got away, or a petrol flame thrower.
