Had to take a couple of brave pills before deciding on this shot rather than one of the two Ferrari 308 ones I was choosing between...

Piaggio Ape



Newcastle, UK

Nikon D40​

Incidentally, I don't usually mention it but definitely worth clicking for the full size on this one, I think the devil is in the detail :)
 
Oh, wow! Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati!

I think I'll enter this one!!
Precisely the reason I won't be entering this one. :indiff:

Good luck this week, guys, and thanks for the votes from last week! :cheers:

It's not about the car, though, it's about the shot. I don't plan on entering an exotic - Italy makes more than just exotics: Fiat and Alfa Romeo spring to mind.
 
Not to mention Ducati and Cagiva. Dam I knew I should of posted my bike and not jumped to the 1st thing everyone would think of.
Sure I have a nice shot of a Ducati 1098 somewhere.

Before I posted my previous comment I looked up a list of Italian auto manufacturers and while there are a ton of them, none have ever seen the light of day in lowly North Dakota. :lol:

Well, there is the occasional Ferrari that comes through for car shows but other than that...
 
I couldn't get it totally centered. So if it looks off center, that's why.

Thanks ewveryone for their votes in the previous comp.

Alas, due to most italian cars sucking off I won't be participating on this unless I find something italian (very unlikely) with a lot of flavor (almost impossible).
 
Here is mine, another picture from Driver Source:

Gah - everyone's is mind blowing again. :drool:

Here's a left of centre shot from me...







Ferrari 328

Some good stuff posted here.


That's a pretty cool shot and treatment actually. Quite different, very strong ,contrasted and simple, and the colouring almost makes it look illustrative in parts. 👍

Agreed, and I always admire your daring and creativity.

Simple and clean for me...
