Hi Guys,
Ive got two bits in top gear this month (awards issue)

A portrait of sebastien loeb I took behind the scenes testing at the rally in wales earlier in the year:



And a bit on the gallardo SE (which incidentally is a great car)









Ive also finally got round to updating my site a bit:

www.mattwatkinson.com/galleries/index.htm

Maybe I'll get round to putting the cd of nicks photos in the post to him soon (which ive been feeling guilty about for ages!)

The Lambo looks great in white, and those wheels are gorgeous!

Oh, and the photography aint bad either.

Excellent

Can I see that fat whopper Tom Ford in one of the pictures? If so, is he as annoying in real life as he is on tv?

Don't worry I promised someone a disc ages ago that I only got round to sending this week so you're not the only one. But I would really like it

Great location for the Gallardo.

What's the score with copyright - do you retain copyright to the images or what?

There's something wrong with it, it's incredibly slow (5kb/s).

Looks knackered to me...with a strange likeness to JK.

Hi Andy,

Tom Ford is a great guy. Ive done a couple of shoots with him and hes a real laugh. Hes also given me loads of useful advice. Ive never seen him on the telly, but having spent a few days with him, I can say hes definately not annoying at all.

I dont retain copyright with the bbc because of syndication. Copyright isnt something thats ever bothered me though.

I'm trying to think of the reviews I've seen him present, but they're not coming to mind. Although, I do recall him jumping across a bonnet in one of them.

His presenting style is a little OTT for me, a bit too 'excited teenager'.

Glad to hear your view on him, maybe I've been too quick to condemn

One thing in no doubt it the quality of your pic's. Bloody appalling!

Agreed. Bloody upstart. I mean, he should try playing a piano...
