That's f/8, and yes, it's usually the sharpest aperture on most 35mm lenses, but it's not all that useful when shooting "available darkness" as I did for many years. At least my out of focus shots were not that way on purpose!

How'd we get on to photography anyway? Is this Unwanted Heat?

Interesting one this...... A Ferrari but not quite sure which. 365GTC? All complaints about quality of photos to be directed to Mr i-phone.
Too late to get all of it

Passenger about to depart

Off like a bat out of hell!

Turning. I decided not to investigate further as he might have been going a bit fast (!!)

Its a 330 GTC, absolutely stunning...

Probably my favourite Ferrari - maybe the 330 GTS when the weather is right.

And of course, who ever heard of a Ferrari 330 that wasn't elegant?
For example: Zagato Spyder, commissioned by Luigi Chinetti - see below:

Red - check

Ferrari badge - check

Removable roof panels - check

Borrani chrome wire wheels - check

and the final result:

Hmmm...

Yup!
Zagato can go a bit 'off-message' sometimes.
This is what he did to the successor to the 411

Isn't taking photos on your camera phone whilst driving illegal?

Serious of SE23!

I don't know if this counts, as it is actually on the pavement, but this was caught right outside the studio in the middle of Barcelona just before Christmas, I think its fair to say that you don't see many of these on the road, though I guess its actually as rare as a 541 over here !

Oh yes and it was with some old Ford

Don't Ford (indirectly) pay your wage bill?

What a great thread...!

Spotted a bright orange Fiat spyder in Twickenham high street this afternoon, no pic as I was busy parking and trying not to curb the Int wheels...

also a parked DBS in Richmond old deer park car park..

I'm off to Putney in an hour or so keep your eyes peeled if any of our eagle eyed central / West London spotters are about!

Regal Red CV8, warp speed 10.

Cheers,
