Lightbulb The Great Landmark Thread !!!!

Evening all....
Had an idea of this thread not sure if its been done before but its basically take a picture of your car outside a landmark Or building that makes a good photo and stick it here with a little note of where it is etc...
Lets see how imaginative we can be I can imagine that there will be some excellent photos posted on here with landmarks from all over the world.
So come on lets see what you got.........
Here is an example its not a landmark as such but but it was the closest building that was quite photogenic at the time I thought of this.......

Thanks for the tip, I'll print this out to go with all the other paperwork I'm gathering. Is the Banbury location more visitor friendly than the other location?
