The Top Gear Photo Thread (Read First Post!!)

[Feldynn]

Being a long time fan of Top Gear and after watching countless reruns on BBC America I decided to give it a shot. So my idea was to do something based around the "Supercars go to France" piece they did with Jeremy in his Ford GT, Hammond a big orange Zonda and Captain Slow in a Ferrari F430.

To start with obviously I had to use the hard top F430 since there isn't a convertible one, I think I probably used the wrong orange colour for the Zonda (in retrospect I think the real one was more of a pearl or even gloss finish to my metallic one).

Also I couldn't find any really good tracks to properly do the "back roads of France" so I tried to do the best I could with the Course Maker, since I have no friends and don't race online I opted for some single car shots from early on in the piece where they were showcasing the cars a bit and did so Photoshopping (Paint Shop Proing in my case lol) to create a composite shot of them on the bridge at the end. Hope they turned out ok.

The sheet metalworker from Detroit..

The Argentinian Playboy..

The Italian Count..

Three super cars crossing a super bridge..

From 16x06, the F40 review:

With the recent posts of the F430's, I got reminded of the F430 review from season 6:

HA, I know this post really means nothing, but ha, the italian COUNT, and that is shot is taken in Tuscany/Toscana if I'm correct, and if you're a Dream Theater fan, you should know The Count of Tuscany, so technically that Ferrari is The Count of Tuscany

How has no one done the Lancia Stratos review yet?

Thanks GDll for bring this thread back! I was worried that it'd be lost. Good pics, it'd be awesome if they could be photoshopped with the blue flames coming out of the exhausts.

Too bad my photoshop skills are almost non existent and I don't have photoshop.

I need to watch more Top Gear with cars that GT5 has. I did watch the 1st American special last night with the Camaro, Dodge Ram and Cadillac. Got the DVD for $1.

You can download entire seasons (for free) on Finalgear.com They also upload the most recent episodes an hour right after they air. I've got every single season and special episode. Let's just say I'm a very big fan of Top Gear UK. I've got their magazines, books, poster, stickers (for my future car), etc.

Hello! I'm a new member here, but I've browsed GTP for years now...

Anyways, here's my contribution. I had inspiration from the LFA review and edited one of my shots in GIMP. Hope you like it!

Hi Guys, this is my first contribution. I think this one looks really topgearish. I don't know if the Elise they testet was white, but its a great shot anyway.

Rather sad that this thread's kinda died off. To bring it back I'll work on the new season's MP4-12C vs. 458 Italia. Hope some more people will be able to help out and bring in some more great pics. ^_^ Sorry for those who are looking at this since I've got no pics yet.

Nice pics BTW NB, especially the Mclaren v 458 set 👍👍

 

[chrismoran]

personally, i enjoyed the clarkson quotes, but only if there's some photos to go along with them, of course.

Embedding youtube is quite simple, once you know how. Example: [*youtube]guo7v-fn0gy[/media] (without the *):
