The Passat of Love

86JR · 31 Jan 2010 at 16:53

Thought I would up some photos. Foxy, look out for me round Plymouth and we will stop for a chat.

It appears one of my sidelights is out, I have two LED white ones to put in but cant fit my hand in to install them.

I really need to lower it onto some nice wheels but see them as a waste of money. I really want to do something different, and I really like these wheels, but they are way too expensive at 3k with proper tyres.

fox is so totally going to be able to distinguish you from the 400,000 other passats in plymouth, very recognisable car especially from those well lit photos

what a fantastic example of a bus stop that is!

Thanks for letting Fox know what car to avoid

Firestar_3x · 31 Jan 2010 at 16:57

I can't see the car in the photos, can someone point it out to me please?

I'm sure Fox will be able to pick that standard black Passat out in Plymouth traffic without any issues

Someone has pictures up of their standard integra DC5 in a seperate thread so why cant I ?

He knows what my number plate is.

Integra DC5 is a nice car

Because they were pictures of a meet where they had put some effort in to make them look interesting...

To be fair, he has put some effort into hiding the Passat...by taking them at night and shaking whilst taking the pics, whilst incorrect effort, it is effort.

Well at least the camera was facing in a fairly correct direction

You try taking pictures without a tripod, in the cold, with a 1/3 second exposure time.

Random derogatory comment.

it blends into the photos like the passat blends into the dull stream of rubbish cars on todays roads, so as an artistic photo set it really has deep meaning! :cool:

Man up. I've been to Croft lugging around a heavy 70-200L at -4 degrees. ALL DAY!

Here's a photo of my car, in the cold, at night, without a tripod.....why on earth you;d want to use 1/3rd of a second though i dont know!

F2.8, 1/25th of a second, ISO3200, 67mm

To be fair, your camera could make a cup of tea to warm you up aswell
