Took advantage of the sun i had at home this morning, and decided to give the car a clean. As i was going family visiting afterwards.
Anyway here is what my car looks like now, quite different to the old pics on here.
Cheers Adam

In preparation for the meet tomorrow I managed to somehow find time to give the car a quick wash, didn't realise it was white all over, the two tone look with mud didn't really work. So, here are some pics.

After seeing all of these impressive photos that people are posting from road trips etc, I thought I'd nip up to the local landmark after I'd washed it, just as the sun was getting low in the sky.

Cheers Griz! That pic was orginally going to be of the view, from where I was stood I was gonna crop the car out later, but I liked it so much it stayed! As SteveP said the people walking by the trees adds to it a lot.

Your car is certainly no heap Griz! As you said earlier in another thread, the old bus handles the twisty bits now!

Beautiful pics indeed. The first would be my fav if you cropped it, so you couldn't see the railing on the right, and take some of the bottom to keep the correct height width ratio. This would also help with the two thids rule.

For those who don't know, the two thirds rule says that the most important part of the image should be two thirds of the way from one corner to the diagonal opposite.

Here the 4 dots show the two third positions. Next time you see a documentary, note how peoples faces are usually centred on one of the top two dots.

And Griz, That's no heap, in fact looks a very nice Massey ;) Is it yours?

a combination of these two would be great the vesas showing nicely in the first and a bit more sunset from the second .

after last week I was wondering if your car was really white or if you had been playing with that 4x4 spray on mud the yummy mummys on the school runs use .
