M3 and S2000 pics

NickXX · 4 Oct 2009 at 21:13

Hi all,

Spent the entire afternoon waxing the cars ready for the winter (wash, wash, clay, wash, SRP, Zymol wax, EGP), so thought it would be silly not to take some photos of them.

Thanks for looking

Nice pics, like the mood.

Both cars look fantastic

If you dont mind me asking nick how much did the M3 set you back ? Im thinking of taking the same route next year !

Really good pics... The ///M3 looks lovely with it's just washed sparkly-ness!

Awesome pics, reminds me of GTA for some reason

While we're on the topic of winter, there is a place round here that gets the car up on ramps and washes it all underneath!

Thanks Sam - £14,950 in the end. You can get them much cheaper now, but I was quite specific about spec.

My trusty Nokia 6300 has served me well. No need for fancy SLRs!

Nice and clean, all wrapped up ready for winter

Both look sweet.

What mods are on that S2000?

I beg to differ, see photos above

Seriously though, nice cars

You could do with something like a Canon EOS 40D.

Photos look overprocessed; too much shadow/highlight filter and wrong white balance.

Awesome cars though

Cheers Nick

I really want a CSL or an RS4 but they are still quite pricey and dont think i want to be spending that much money

Seems like the logical step up from the scoob

You should up the ISO when its dark, unless you can hold a camera for over a second with no shake which from the pics you can not.

Where were these photos taken?? Am sure I recognise the location!

NickXX · 4 Oct 2009 at 22:55

Cheers guys, I need to play around with the camera a lot more - particularly in low light. Got a few pointers off olv which I'll give a go.
