Did You See Anything Good Today? [Read First Post]

On the way up to Scotland last night for the McRae stages rally.

Click the link in my sig for pictures from the rally.

Thanks for the comments guys. Round two possibly tonight.

And Exige, the second picture of the SLR… great GRRRREAT use of the reflections, it gives life to the picture, you outdid yourself with that one, very good eye. In general nice photography dude, I loooooooove the face of the guy driving the Cobra! Like “mwahaha, idiots!”… I bet you heard it before you saw it and that gave you time to turn the camera on. More shutter speed so more blur! It would have been awesome. Or you could have told him to peel away, that would have been even better.

I got a couple shots of the Cobra, nothing more interesting than that. I was pretty close to him, so any slower shutter speed and the rotation of the car going by might've killed any sharpness left on the car.

I'll update my thread soon, I've got some other stuff to get through first. In retrospect, the Maserati photo worked out perfect. Exposure spot on, reflections are great and the depth worked out on the foreground.

Hmm, there are a few C-Class Mercedes Benz around these parts, but i think they're mainly tourists, there's not really many rich locals down here. I did see a Porsche Boxster a while ago and i didn't know the person that drove it so i assume he was from Adelaide or somewhere.

Boxters are pretty damn common around here. I usually see atleast one every day.

Good spots Turbz. 👍

Thanks Serge 👍.

I'm convinced. 👍

This spot was from about a week ago. I think the badging on the back said 'Street Machine' or something like that.

STi (common enough, I just really like the color. I talked to the owner and he sounds like just another ricer. No performance tuning, just a fart can. But apparantly he has taken it to a track, so there's hope yet.)

Yeah it was awful....we get a lot of those around here, apparently some people think it looks good

Oh my lord, that is ghastly. I don't know how they allow that thing to be on the road, there are innocent children walking around.

A Ludacris once said:

"Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play
And we ride on them things like every day
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta's roamin'
And parties dont stop til' eight in the mornin'"

What the hell is honda doing...selling a NSX with an auto is like forbidden and that person should be kicked in the balls.

This coming from the guy who protests thats automatics are better than manuals every chance he can.

 

[buickgnx88]

The auto NSX's had a lower powered engine than the manual ones, thus they were a bit slower.

So they still make their utes huge in America.... The STI is pretty common here, not too expensive either.

That would be a truck. Can't tell if your serious or not, don't sense any sarcasm or joke.

 

[buickgnx88]

I think it's funny!

Not at a 40 horsepower disadvantage!!

We call them utes, this is a truck:

 

[Barracuda]

I'd always figured utes were different as the front of a truck couldn't be mistaken for the front half of a car. The only utes in America would be the El Camino and Ranchero (at least I think), trucks are different.

I call what you call a truck a tractor trailer, or big rig.

 

[Jay]

Cheers, i didnt think to look it up, they look alarmingly different now that i've googled it, but its only the 2nd first gen celica i've seen and almost 3 years since my first.

Wow, still plenty of them here.

The only utes in America would be the El Camino and Ranchero (at least I think), trucks are different.

Which is still called a truck by most Americans (United Statians), including official Guiness books of records (with the Commdore ute).


When I first visited the US when I was 8 I was really suprised that US-ians called what I thought as utes, trucks.

 

[Jay]

Apologies on the double post

 

[Barracuda]

I've never actually called them a truck, but I've never really known what to call them.

Is it that hard to say Americans, USians sounds terrible.

It was a joke.....

 

[Barracuda]

It was a joke.....

I realize but there's something about it that annoys the hell out of me for some reason.

 

[buickgnx88]

Well the full name is pickup truck, but most people either say pickup or truck. We call the big trucks semis or big rigs, as Diablo said. I call El Caminos and Rancheros cars.

Next to the white Maybo.
