Hate to disappoint, not bricks! Stone setts or cobbles.

Interesting shots, especially the next to last one - I'm partial to night photography.

Silly Brit. Until and unless you abandon "electronics by Lucas", you will never produce a good car. <big grin>. (I own a '69 EKE....)

Lucas Industries plc was a Birmingham-based British manufacturer of motor industry and aerospace industry components. Once prominent, it was listed on the London Stock Exchange and was formerly a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. In August 1996, Lucas merged with the American Varity Corporation to form LucasVarity plc.
After LucasVarity was sold to TRW the Lucas brand name was licensed for its brand equity to Elta Lighting for aftermarket auto parts in the United Kingdom. The Lucas trademark is currently owned by ZF Friedrichshafen, which retained the Elta arrangement.
Lucas is long-gone!
