Lovely images as ever MW!

... can't decide whether that's RG in the driving seat in one of the pictures (likely) or SP (unlikely?) or PW (perfectly reasonably likely imho...)

Nice to see the press fleet car in some sunshine - last time I saw it was (under one of the really big tents) at the rain-drowned set-up day at the Cholmondeley Castle Pageant of Power in mid-July.

Shiny, shiny MW, which issue of AI will these pictures be in?

Nice pics, thanks for sharing. The one thing that I can't tell from the photos is how does it sound??

Beautiful car, just a shame the "professional" photographer has used a searchlight instead of a fill in flash, and created burnt out sections and harsh shadows.

Not that keen on this version, with the black accents on orange it looks like a Biffa bin.

obviously it could of done without the quotes around the word "pro" but it strikes me that was a constructive comment?

No PixelPimp - Mr CB doesn't 'do' constructive, it's not his strong suit. Not at all.

He's very good at making barely disguised insulting comments though!

It was an accurate statement, I didn't realise you were the photographer, but it's still an accurate comment, take it how you want constructive or pure criticism. It seems I've already been damned.

At least I only comment on the subject of the thread, not hijack them to have personal conversations like you do, point in question - Lambo Servicing - London v's H.Wycombe v's Reading

SO very charming with such impressive use of precise English as well - why do ALL your posts have to be so vitriolic?

In case you hadn't realised - this is PistonHeads, it's supposed to be a place of enjoyment. It is not supposed to be as you like to make it, a place for whingers to be whining all the time.

You might one day stop carping on about how you had to replace your cars front bumper yourself or any other things you've had to do that you thought someone should have known how to do for you... or whatever it is you're always complaining about.

Not everybody wants to read about your 'trauma' at the hands of a main 'stealer' (as you so insultingly insist on calling all of them) but some of us might want to talk about something else and even try to 'water down' the offensive and aggressive bullst you lash out with whenever and however possible.

See that bloody big stinking slab of mindcrap on your shoulder?

It's getting very, very obvious now that it's getting larger all the time.

Aren't you aware of leaning as dangerously sideways as much as you do?

loser

What on earth are you talking about?

I've had enough of reading your constant moaning and snidey insinuations here and many places elsewhere and now you're making a feature of aiming those pathetic comments at me.

For your future reference - tiocfaidh ár lá - our day will come.

You lucky bugger!

I love the first shot and the low tracking shot.
All pin sharp, what lenses were you using?

Thanks for the positive feedback.
Most of my images are produced with an 80-200mm f2.8 and 17-55mm f2.8.
The fill in flashes are nikon sb26 speedlights and pocket wizards.
