Some of you will be aware that I was asked to take the sec for a photoshoot for practical classics..

Nice one.

Did you sort the leak out on the way there?

 

[jaymanek]

mate you dont want to know about that!!!

Muppet that i am left the adjusting nut loose on the steering box... i was going to adjust the box after everything was set up and I ran out of time and forgot to tighten it back up.... thats all it was!!

 

[BlackC55]

.....Nobody is perfect......

Are you coming to my GTG? I am coming to yours! LOL

Jay ,

In this photo , the centres of the wheels look almost gunmetal .... i know they aren't but it would certainly look good !!!

 

[jaymanek]

Im thinking of going body colour with them at some point? At the moment they are still brand new and dont want to start splitting them...

Are you coming to my GTG? I am coming to yours! LOL

sorry mate, getting married on the 20th so not really possible.,.. would have loved to come down and finally meet you though,..

EDIT: 18th May might actually be possible but ill confirm closer to the time...

Your car is amazing but I much prefer the pictures that you have taken and posted. Practical Classic chap looks to be trying to show off his handy work rather than the car.

Its still a beauty though

The boot is not lined up yet very nice other than that

 

[jaymanek]

how did i know you were going to say that... i actually tried but there is no real adjustment other than man handling it... i will wait for the GTG and you can show me how its done!

Out of interest, what was the deal Jay?

Your car in the photoshoot for the professional shots I take it?

What else? Travel expenses, pro valet of the car or not?

I was thinking of offering mine for Practical Performance Car magazine, but the deal didn't seem so great.

 

[jaymanek]

No deal as such, they are supposed to be refunding travel but havent received anything yet... they paid for mcdonalds all day and apart from that it was just a nice day out...

Owing to the rise in the price of water, dropping them into swimming pools is going out of fashion, mind you there are some lakes around

those pics are great .. your car is looking amazing .. the paint is lustrous.

and i love the alcantara headlining.

[vijilants]

Those pics are really nice.....the one with the bonnet slightly open looks great !!!

 

[jeremytaylor]

Lovely set of photos.

But what are Practical Classics doing to their photos these days to get that almost black and white/washed out look (e.g. the engine bay)? Is it the lighting or manipualtion? I've seen it in their mag a few times, and yours are the same. Quite a nice effect, just a bit different from usual.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Looks fantastic Jay. You must be chuffed to bits. A few of those on the wall will look great.

 

[A210AMG]

Great set of pictures


Will be nice to keep with car, looks a real mean bad boy in some of them shots.

 

[kbhogalW126]

I love the bonnet open pic.

Beautiful car Jay.

I would blow it up to A0 size and put it on the wall.

(Then my wife would rip it down and put something else up in its place )
