Where do we find this unsharp mask?

I take photos via my RAZR quite often and throw them up on Facebook (ha ha) or Flickr quite often...

It's in 'Filters>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask...' in Photoshop.
 
Ooops, I can't believe I missed that! Awesome spot! That appears to be a pretty well taken care of model, and that is actually the same color that my Fox sedan was.

It's parked every day right opposite the local VW dealer, so I'm assuming it never gets far from caring hands. :)

Assumably he didn't mean the weird short-wheelbase model, and the Quattro coupe ('84-'88 in the States) in general. He did NOT mean the 90 Quattro coupe, which no one has discussed since some Audi exec was like 'what the hell is this trash heap and why are we still selling it?' back in like 1993.

Actually, I did mean the Coupe Quattro. :indiff: By today's standards, it is kind of disappointing, but that's 20 years' time. All cars stink compared to new ones. For an all-wheel-drive car at the end of the 80's to be entertaining at all is kind of a miracle. But most importantly, it completes the German triumvirate for me without having to pick out an "average" Porsche from that era.

M5Power
Of the three, I think the 190E 2.3-16 is the rarest, but what do I know.

Yes. What do you know. ;)

So you meant the short wheelbase model, and not the normal one? The short wheelbase one isn't really in the M3/190E 2.3-16 league - to my knowledge it was significantly more expensive and more powerful - it's notably rarer - and it was built specifically for rally homologation. You didn't mean the simple Audi Quattro coupe?

The short wheelbase ones go for ridiculous amounts of money now.
 
Really, really, crappy Cell Phone pic. (No amount of Unsharp Mask could fix it). But hey, it's still awesome.

Now, this is even crappier. But it was badged 3.0CSL, I don't know if this is a amazing find or nothing special at all, thought I should post it anyway incase it's the former.

Yeah, I saw on of those a little while ago:

And saw another on a few days ago, in a faded orange color

Very nice
 
I am still waiting for someone to post a CSL with it's "batman" aero bits still installed, although ugly, I still like the idea of being able to put them on whenever you want
 
I saw a V12 vanquish today. It was in the on-coming lane. I had my camera with me at the time but it was too fast. And it was during rush hour traffic so i didnt want to do a U-turn at the lights and cause a traffic accident. :(

To be quite honest, i dont think driving and being on the lookout for cars is safe at all. Probably just as dangerous if not more than those who talk on cell phones or put on their makeup behind the wheel. I have a feeling that soon or later, this thread or the scavenger hunt will cause some kind of traffic accident
 
I saw something a little odd the other day and thought it was worth posting.
A 52 reg Citroén Xsara picasso that looks as if its done nothing but sit in a river the last 5 years of its life!

oh and that XKR seems to have found a little buddy to hang around with:

I have heard more than one story about people attempting to photograph a supercar and being involved in an accident as a result. I personally would violate any law necessary in order to photograph a Veyron or an Enzo if seen.
 
I've stood out in the middle of the street to grab a pic of Shelby.... I didn't get it... :(

EDIT: Not really standing perse, but on the median, large grass one.
 
I've probably violated quite a few pedestrian safety laws trying to get pictures of cars, particularly the AeroCoupe from a couple of pages ago.
 
Sitting in traffic, Hear a high pitched howl and this cut me up:drool: Bodykit was sooo sexy.(no not the A3 :indiff: )



5 seconds later I hear a growl and this thing undertook me(Can still see the CTR on the right:drool:)


Damn bullies in their nice cars :( Making me and my Almera feel small.
 
Cool! Now he just needs to lower it and he'll have...something. I'm not sure what he'll have besides a lowered Elan, actually. I don't even know where the engine is.
 
Hint: Its front wheel drive.

Oh! So you mean he should sell it and buy a Del Sol or something right? Because the Lotus is just as crappy, but more expensive. Or is it not as small as it looks?

It's about eight inches shorter than the Del Sol, if you can believe it.

The Elan could fit in the wheelbase of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
 
well, I firmly beleive I just saw Jeremy clarksons old ford GT. Me and Only_in_f1 were sittin outside dominoes in daventry (may have heard it from mcdonalds advert) its quite a small town. I hear a loud growl and though 'oh ehre we go anotehr corsa', no frmo behind the bushes emerged a Blue and white striped ford GT. I chased it about 1/5 of a mile on foot, and when i was ready to photo it, my phone displayed the following message: 'phone memory full, please delete items'

I was utterly distraught.

turns out another freind saw it earlier on,. If oyu think im lying ask Only_In_f1.

I hope to see it again for photos

Not meaning to burst your bubble, but Clarkson doesn't own a Ford GT, he replaced it with a Gallardo.
