Fighting Torque, a few snaps

[Mr Noble]

Went to FT today near Ipswich. Bit like a V-max. Noble did well doing a standing 3/4 mile in 25.51 seconds and hitting 155 mph.

The winner was AdrainW's M400 (580 bhp £££ car) doing it in 23.59 and hitting 171 mph

Nothing came close!!

Went a bit OTT on the processing but I like them. Very Top Gear

Not OTT at all, cracking if you ask me!

Very nice pics, and I agree not OTT at all. But interested in the mondeo in 4th picture, somehow doesn't really fit in, unless you're going to tell us that there's some 400hp v8 under the bonnet !!!!

[stigmundfreud]

first two pics, what did you do re the vignetting?

[VxDuncan]

Cool pics. SHame they wouldn't let the general public in, fancied going meself 8o(

And that is one big chopper! Somehow I never realised they were that large. Or are those very little nobles?

[Mr Noble]

I am pretty sure that the Mondeo was a bull in a mouses jacket!

I may be getting mixed up with another car but am pretty sure it was holding its own against the exotica!!



Re. Vingetting, I just dodge around the edges set at about 10% opacity to get the "top gear" style.

Pumped up the contrast and saturation in Raw shooter and then frame, crop and dodge in PS.

A few of them have had some people and other cars removed and most of the tarmac has been tidied up but hopefully you won't know where.


It was a great day out, well worth doing it next year or going to a V-Max.

I was amazed at how big the Apahce was too! Got a 10 minute 1 to 1 show round it by a pilot! Awesome machine!
