Hi all, I'm looking to get some decent action shots of cars power sliding and being driven 'properly' in my portfolio, and what better car to use than a TVR?!

Is anyone out there good at this sort of thing, and willing to do it on some nice winding public roads, in return for the photos?

I'm based in Marlow (South Bucks), so the more local the better! Examples of my work can be seen on my website in my profile. Cheers

You are incredibly talented - some amazing photos on your site. Top work!

you shouldn't really be asking for people to do 'powerslides' on public roads - is there any tracks/airstrips/army bases near you? smile

Something similar to this would be suitable - Dave at North Weald airfield sliding the Griff around:

Damn.

If I'd known we could have arranged an action shot of me doing a stoppie in mine.

Well, it looked like that, you'd have just had to 'shop out the Hyundai from behind me.

Thanks guys. Tracks and airfields usually charge for access which I'm not really prepared to pay...also I would want it to be on public roads for the scenery and authenticity of the shot.

Haha thanks Dave, maybe next time wink

If you fancy a trip you should come up to Curborough for one of the days I do, really friendly bunch and you can go anywhere on track at your own risk, plenty if nice cars there, will be 4-5 tvrs on the 22nd along with an atom and a radical amongst others. I will happily get it sideways for you in exchange for some good pics wink lol
