Back in the 80's I had an Alfa Romeo GTV 2000. An old car even then, with a beautiful Bertone body that was prone to rust. It reeked of Waxoyl and had a proper wooden steering wheel. It was the only car I ever sold for more than I paid for it.Here we see a self portrait showing a high speed run down the A23 out of London. The right hand is performing the traditional British motorists' greeting, whilst steering with the knees.

Wow, and I can't even write legibly in a moving car. And that's as a passenger!
We have a similar traditional motorist's greeting here...it involves fewer fingers though...and your steering wheel is on the wrong side...
I'll remember the greeting so I can use it when going to England, I'm always afraid of not blending in ;)
hee hee i love it! Reminds me of my boyfriend when he drives!
This probably won't put me on your "good" books.. but do what I do, and put all your illustration friday submittions in one post. That way, you don't have to re-submit on the site. Easy peasie..
On the site i think it mentions this.
PS_ The Alfa Romeo in the pic has the wheel on the left side.. where you in america at the time? Nice drawing just aswell..
Thanks...now that I see that I feel my effort at sarcasm was ruined...sorry Ellis, I'll try harder next time...
This is the best in-car drawing I've seen! The two fingured salute is a bit quaint now though, isn't it?
Nice gtv-2000 post! Thanks for intesting info! More Alfa Romeo can be found at http://www.auto-portal.us/
I had a British Nissan once while i lived in germany. I drove the wheels off that little car! Your illo remnded me of it. Good Job!
Ellis, you obviously drove this car the way it was meant to be driven - with hand signals and passion!!
Wonderful sketch.
Great! (as usual)
Nice artwork. I enjoy seeing your work.
Great sketch! Had a look at your website, your sketches and paintings and everything else are absolutely amazing! I LOVE your work!

That's a much classier rustbucket than my Fiat 128. I lusted after an AlfaSud but they were effin' awful too.
