| 1966 Jensen C-V8 |
 |
When you look at this 1966 Jensen C-V8 you will either love or hate the headlights. There's no middle ground. We found the car at the 2010 RACQ Brisbane Motorfest. It was not hard to spot with controversial styling that jumps out at you like an after-dark street gang. By far the most interesting aspect though are the slanted headlights.

We all benefit from free flowing traffic, either directly by getting to our destination more easily, or indirectly by the lower levels of pollution that results from engines working at greatest efficiency because delays have been minimised. Keeping traffic moving is aided by the SUNA Traffic Channel. Put simply, this organisation collects information on what is happening on our roads, then passes this information to drivers to warn them of problems or potential trouble areas.

Those not familiar with the JWF name may have heard of others in this same industry, such as Bolwell and Buchanan.
