Number 22 in the apparently increasingly occasional series of roadside photos.
Happy New Year anyway, and Happy Birthday for last year top… sorry that I missed it.
ogo design is clearly sometimes an art in itself. I’ve seen the kind of work you get on those “$5’s for a logo with unlimited revisions” websites* and while its not always true you get what you pay for, sometimes it really is.
This is all just a long winded way to post the following.
A friend of mine was launching a new forum as, while Facebook may be great for keeping in touch its groups and pages don’t work very well or give you many options to manage and organise information – Anything a few days old is pretty much lost in the either.

offered a prize for a charity auction a couple of months back which then developed into a short print run of the eventual prize artwork.
The artwork/print was won for the organiser of the Friends Round London event, in which a bunch of MG owners drive the circumference of London’s outer ring road on a cold midwinters night with their cars rooves down – its really rather fun, honest.
