Huge thanks to Dave_68.........
Just wanted to sat a HUGE thank you to Dave today for going out with me for a little photoshoot of my car.
I wanted to do one as since the last photoshoot was done, I have had a front splitter fitted, plus some black flaps and I have been itching to get the white wheels back on……….. even though they are buggers to keep clean….
The weather changed from being nice and sunny to black cloud, to ruddy heavy rain, and everything in between……!
The morning was fine, so the shoot was all set up – but by the time we could leave, the sky was not too hopeful. Dave however (ever the professional) was even standing in a field, in the rain, taking pictures of me driving by to get some movement shots and earlier on - by the side of the road taking pictures of me driving through large puddles!
Needless to say the car didn’t stay clean very long in those conditions, but I achieved what I was aiming to do……….
I took about 25-30 shots of my own and the best four in my humble opinion are as below, but once Dave has had a chance to upload his ones onto his site, I am sure there will be some much, much better ones than my low quality attempts.
Now just waiting to see how Dave’s one look like!

No worries Mike, enjoy going out for piccies (as you know). Not ideal conditions, and I think the end result reflected that. I'm sure well go out for some better ones pretty soon. I've set you a link to to mine (or will do in a mo) feel free to post any up if you wish. Also if you want larger version just shout and I'll mail them over.

I thought that one was going to rip my new front splitter off with the noise the water made as I went through it

Only put them back on today for this photoshoot - have been running around with the gold ones on for a while purely as it's winter and they don't show the dirt as much as white ones!
As the white ones now have half a tub of Poorboys on 'em, I hope they will be easy(ish) to keep clean - when I get the bucket and water out that is!
These white ones have been in the excellent SIDC Wheelbags (thanks Phil), sittting in my living room, since November - now I've lost my spare coffee table!

There is a possible chance he might be coming with me on Thurs, so have a chat with him then (if he isn't working that night).....

Just been playing around with this image - any thoughts??
I stuck the yellow "diagonal" in it as it would have been too much blue otherwise........
