Cheers guys! I was really happy with the way they turned out. I think they came up so well because of the weather, these were taken just after sunset so the sky still had a small amount of colour. I thought I might bugger something up though because I had the camera on manual everything (shutter speed, aperture, focus).

You can see some more on my Photobucket here:

It only weighs 600kg so I would imagine it is similar to a motorbike, and does it look auto to you? tongue.gif

That looks great there Rainey, so sharp,

I saw Mr lotus driving and parked around on Saturday. There were a bunch of old people that were thoroughly intrigued by it when it was parked near the Centrepoint arcade thing. cool.gif

bowrofl.gif

sorry, if you don't know lotus then its a valid question. has an ultra close ratio gearbox done by quaife, so is track geared and will max out just over 200kph mainly due to excess drag/downforce. 0-100 is very low 4's. is NA, and with only 600kg, response is fairly instant. it is however mid-rear, and therefore demands respect!

haven't even looked at my shots yet rainey, hope they turn out as good!

Does he have pencil cams at all for onboard/outside footage. Does he use a suction cup for incar shots and does he have a secondary "restraint" for the camera.

The second two i ask is because they are cracking down with scruitineering and may not let you run with onboard/incar cameras thumbsup.gif

Thats cool, i just thought i would ask as they have and will ask people to remove onboard/incar equipment if its not right.

They are getting harder on it at the moment!!!
