I spy Denbies!Edited by GFWilliams on Monday 4th January 18:47
Are you allowed to drive up that track/about the vines freely, or do you know people that work there?
Also, the pic of the murci on a twisty country road with 30 signs on your website... that's less than a minute from my house. if only i'd seen it drive past!
ps nice mini.
Another goo place is Cherkley Court just up the road from it
The SV really was something special - It stopped almost every single pedestrian in Reigate in their tracks!

Fair play to you Gareth - you're up front and honest about your car and you take all the snidey comments on the chin. A few other posters on the readers' cars forum could take a lesson from you.
Car looks great, and your photos are getting better all the time. Wish you'd post them over on the photography forum though, I seem to miss them otherwise.

Thank you Ben - I'll try and post more photos up in the photography section - I haven't done a proper photoshoot in a while, but I could add a few photos from a shoot a while ago of a TVR...

Feck knows - you are George and I knew that, which is what I meant to write. Brain fade, sorry George!

Nice set Gareth George!
Looks like the rig shot is lacking a little bit of "pop" compared to the others - do you use an ND when you do rig stuff? I find NDs can rob a lot of contrast, especially from the background.
Your rig looks to be pretty bloody good though, you're getting some nice results with it.

Yeah, used an ND for the rig shot. All the rest of the shots had a lot of lighting used, which is why they have so much contrast. The rig shot wasn't tweaked at all apart from cloning the rig out as I liked it the way it is.
My rig does the job, hard to use on my own though.. And also with client's cars I am a bit more of a wuss and don't stick it out as far as I did for this one!
Nice Mini, especially for a first car!
Just ignore all the b
hing about young drivers, i know plenty who have crashed but also plenty who haven't! Just dont drive like a tit.
I had a 1.0 corsa then moved upto a 1.6 focus after a year and the only accident I was involved in was when a pensioner lost control and crashed into me, which the insurance recovered all my costs.
Dont mess around doing 1 or 2 hours lessons a week, get as many lessons in a week as you can and book your practical as soon as you pass your theory.

..but I've already passed my test
another edit:
I've got it in wallpaper size if anyone wants it
Lovely first car! Its making me slightly jealous!
I'm also slightly jealous that you get to work with all those cars on your website, well done on both counts.
Dont pay any attention to the people saying you will write off your cas the day you pass your test, just take it easy, especially on the ice in the winter!
Cheers,
Bob

The cars I get to work with really are very nice.. How many 17 year olds can say that they have driven an F430 spyder (private property) and a GT3 (on track)?I'm also slightly jealous that you get to work with all those cars on your website, well done on both counts.

Well I didn't write the car off the day I passed my test or do any damage or be near doing any damage.
