| Something forlorn about empty vehicles soaking in the afternoon sun. | 
|  | 
| "Get out of my way before I ... Ah well! Let's face it, you can't suffer more than a scraped shin at this speed." |

| Power cables, tyres, assorted parts and a passer-by. | 
|  |

| Scene from a sun-kissed day in September. |
