Hi Alex,
I think not a very ecological car, but nevertheless a very impressive design.
You captured a good composition of the most interesting part.

Hi Maglex,
just got back from the philippines myself and those monsters a quite a ride. i rode on the roof everal times due to lack of space and it was well worth it. best way to see the scenery. I tried to capture one loaded high with all sorts of stuff but it prooved too dificult for me. Next time ;).
I like the POV. Down low and slightly off, puts all those headlights into view.
The contras sparkling bodywork and dirt ridden under car and tires is quite funny also and reminds me just how much care they put into their jeepneys.
Nice pic and nice comments
