Nice broad theme. Hope we get a decent amount of entries
Can we add buses/coaches, as they too are used for public transport?
It would make a great film title! :P
I still prefer boats to any of the others. Now, that would make an even better song title.
We have an ad in Australia about buying a Jeep ("Mum bought a jeep", "They must have bought a Jeep".....)
So when I saw this in the street in Jasper, I couldn't resist (and no, I didn't rent a Jeep)
I got a Jeep

That's some mountain range behind the Jeep!
And such clean/clear streets and sidewalks!
I went to the North East Land Sea and Air museum this morning. Got some cracking shots both for the comp and for nostalgia. I was alone in a creepy and allegedly haunted hangar. There was a door that was half closed which I suspected was an 'outside netty' (toilet). I took a peep inside and jumped out of my skin. There was someone sitting on the loo..........a dummy of course but what a shock! Haha.
The last 2 times I have been there was for an all night ghost hunt and to take photos with someone who could supposedly talk to spirits (and did seem to do so) so you can imagine how scary it was!
Here's my entry, not sure if its a Harrier Jump Jet .......I have called it Fighter Jet

Just realised, oops, the place we put our entries says "Entry Threat"........what will happen if we do??
With fighter planes, you never know.

I guess that's me not wearing my glasses!!
Spikey it made me smile.
Just had a great stag weekend in Manchester to "send off" my future son in law. 1st in years and great fun. Managed to capture this en route by walking down to the end of the platform and nearly missed my train!

Here's mine - Powerrrrrrrr!

This is a car that regularly turns up at the local car club meetings, although on this occasion it was at an auto jumble. It's a boat tailed Bignan, rare and only made between 1919 and 1926 by M. Bignan, the company then limping on until finally closing in 1931. Clearly owned by someone who both cares about it and has a sense of humour, I decided to enter it for the juxtaposition of the 1920s and Mr Clarkson. This particular car is has the race engine with desmodromic valves and 70bhp. Might not seem a lot, but it was back in the day . .
The right hand sticker should, of course, read "I don't always drive slowly, but when I do, it's still faster than James May!"
I wasn't going to enter, as I had not seen anything worth photographing. Car wise that is. (I did not go out specifically, to shoot car, plane or train.)
This little one was, however, parked right outside my door, when I went to the Chinese New Year celebrations.
So I have entered 'The Little One'

It needed a bit more work. Replaced it with this one:
