Would be VERY keen on the idea of some decent glass being there to have a go with as I'm a typical fool who upgraded the camera body and could't then afford to upgrade the lenses! (Nikon please!)
I'd suggest that there will be attendees with decent glass who would probably be happy for it to be borrowed. (You can borrow mine if you like, but it's pretty average)
Thanks for the offer. Much appreciated!
Will be sure to do some scrounging on the day if this all pans out.
Yours may be average, but the best I can pull out of the bag is 100 quids worth of 50mm 1.8!

Very much interested - even more if there is an opportunity to shoot my own car.

Oi - I've just bought one of those and I'm really impressed with it!

My F1.8 wasn't even 100 quid and it's still my favourite lens.

quite, after a few years using exotica I had a laugh the other day and put the thrifty fifty on, such a superb lens

I'm very tempted by this - i've never done any studio photography and could do with some pointers

Edit: Paul - I suspect a lot of attendees would want some time to shoot their own car (whether that's a 15y.o. "GTi" or a brand-new Fezza), rather than just brought-in cars. What sort of a mix (& total quantity of cars) are you aiming at?
Initially we are going to run with one rather special studio car that will already be there when you arrive.

However, there are plans to run a couple of days using readers cars in the future (if demand is there), but initially we want maximum studio (and training) time and so using one car avoids the need to clean cars, move cars, re- set up lights etc.

If these events are successful, and we have enough interest, then we can expand to using a variety of cars, teaching moving car techniques, attending live motorsport sessions (as mentioned before) and a host of other subjects too.

yes

I might be interested if I could take my own car along, but not something else...I've taken plenty of photos of exotica and competition machinery right up-close at the likes of Goodwood and the S'stone Classic...

We'll update you on any price changes as things progress.

The point of this day isn't simply to shoot a car in a studio, more of an educational day for those who want hints, tips, guidance and advice on technique. The car we shoot will almost be a prop (albeit a glamorous, rare and beautiful one).

It may well be that we do a simple 'readers cars in the studio' day for a set fee later in the year, but initially the days will be in the form of a tutorial/ live training environment, but we'll try and accommodate those that simply want some studio time a little later into the year.
