Nice shot :)

Is a Smart Roadster (http://www.smart.com/-snm-0160319980-1129814646-0000003692-0000000443-1129989938-enm-is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/mpc-uk-content-Site/en_UK/-/GBP/SVCPresentationPipeline-Start?Page=issite%3a%2f%2fsmart-Site%2fsmart%2ecom%2fRootFolder%2frest%2fredirect% 2epage&ScriptParam=smart/modelle/smartroadster/ausstattung/45kw/highlights) (Built by Mercedes Benz) :)

I think I'd have looked a foot right and got the bucket in ... ;)

Thanx Ian, that is a Mercedes indeed, one of the first in Cancun. A father/son team labouring on it in mid-day, in an upscale neighbourhood. The street was deserted because of high temperature, and even at my distance I could feel the heat the black car was radiating.

A propos heat transfer properties of black bodies, Condyk of Wessex is right. The framing of the shot is flawed as it should have included the bucket, or dropped it altogether ;)

the Brabus version of those are nice. i rarely see them even in Tokyo, but the semi manual mid engine 3 banger thats designed by Swatch seems like a neat package to me.

and awesome picture. i like how its showing ppl thats not a stupid pose or anything. and i need to get me a 50mm f1.8...i heard it does wonders for the price.

Thanx Coco-puffs.......IMHO the 50 1.8 is such an excellent lens. In fact, I can not tell which one I used for which shots and I have owned both 1.4 and 1.8 variety.

really? i was thinking about buying a 50mm 1.8 for practice and to play around with macro (with one of those macro extention tubes or filters). i may just have to go buy one before my trip to the States.
