Cheers everyone!

Looks brilliant mate. Would dearly love something similar down here in spain. The cost of something like that here would be £30k+ though.
Where abouts in Spain are you? We've got a place down south but haven't been able to visit it all year with all this current mess going on. I'd love to drive down for a road trip and I finally feel like the car might be ready!

Finally got myself a half decent personal camera that I can grab some photos of the dog and car with, so took the car out for a really quick run to make sure it works. Excuse the dirt, I still havent washed it since the photoshoot.

Hi mate - apologies I overlooked this. I have a place about 30 mins south of Alicante (although usually Leeds central based as I think you know as I walked over the road to the AMS meet where I saw your car before all this Covid crap!). If you are heading down this way at any point do let me know and welcome to drop by or even take in a local car meet where the Camaro would go down a storm! A few American classics usually in attendance.

Ah that's brilliant, I'm guessing we're not far off being neighbours as ours is down near Torrevieja. We'll have to meet up for a beer! biggrin

Just messaged Rogue but that is where I have a place also.

Good car meet first Sunday of the month at the Hotel in Los Montesinos. Fellow PHer just moved permanently into the road next to mine and picked me up this morning to drop my car for a service in Montesinos as it happens. Few other PHers have family here - always welcome a car meet up and/or a few pints smile

It really is a small world, they moved out there around 15-16 years ago, i don't go out very often due to many reasons, but it's a nice area!!

A car meet sounds brilliant, is there a particular hotel there that it's at? I'll try to time our stay with it so I can nip across! Obviously if/when the world goes somewhat back to normal...

Thanks! biggrin

Got the images through from the Barnstorm Motor events photoshoot through this morning taken by their photographer. Really nice set of people, looking forward to the event in August if it goes ahead.

Naturally I'm sure you don't want to be negative about the event etc. and I'm sure they're nice people, but to my untrained eye those photos aren't very good...scratchchin

All of the detail is washed out in darkness, the framing and such of the car is basically as if someone took it on their phone whilst walking past, and the more distant shot just looks a bit wonky and half arsed.

I can only assume it's the organiser's partner / son / someone he wants to bone who's now a photographer as he bought a DSLR or something, they may want to consider getting a better photographer for future events... Your photos over his shoulder on your phone look far better.

Grumpy this morning it seems hehe Car looks good as always thumbup

I know what you mean with the photos - the chaps were kind enough to give me the raws but the settings used kind of made them unworkable (really high ISO). In fairness to him, the images of the other cars I've seen all look good (certainly on my phone screen) so I think his camera struggled with the relative lack of light and the huge lump of black. Unfortunately there's only so much photoshop can do. That said, they did shoot the car for free and offered the raws up straight away. They have a great work ethic!

Unfortunately for me that is in fact a very talented Calvin Klein model. If I had the looks and talent she has I would be earning much more money and you would be reading about my 2nd gen shell placed atop a current gen ZL1 biggrin
