Never owned a Pentax, but she's go me sold.

Is the first car she blew by the rare Toyota GT 2000?

 

[kbg32]

Yup, I think it was the Toyota GT 2000. One was on ebay for $650,000!

Oh, how I miss my Datsun 2000!

 

[Keith]

As a total aside ... the cylinder head for the 2000 GT was largely designed by Yamaha apparently.

Nice. Was just out and about with my Spottie today. A bit rough around the edges after all these years but still working fine.

One thing that caught my eye was the little tripod she had...I have that tripod too...and the Spotmatic with the 50mm 1.4
I actually stopped the video to look at it...

Also if you watch the part when she's photographing the truck driver...they are bouncing at different times...
