My niece is over visiting from Austria currently. She has some sort of social media job for Subaru Austria that I don't understand - but any cool photos she can get with the car in the shot while she's here will help her out a lot.

So, what views can people think of around the North West / North Wales area which allow for a car being parked in front of them, and getting both into the view?

Cheers!
 
Menai bridge .. or something that shows (legacy) engineering expertise from industrial revolution,
picture of car in front of the railway station with the long ***gohgohgog name (stoke on trent OC office too far ?)

what's the car ?
 
If you just want a dramatic mountain shots in the background the road from Capel Curig to the bottom of Pen-y-pass is good.

Otherwise as said several places around Menai Bridge where you can get a decent shot.

Can get right by several castles, Caernarfon is one where you can drive pretty much right up to it all the way around.

A fun one is the Ynyspandy slate mill up above Porthmadog way

Can drive onto the beach at Traeth coch pentraeth on Anglesey
 
If you're lucky, dependent on parking, you can get in front of Criccieth castle.

I'd thought of Menai bridge, but struggled to find anywhere (via streetview anyway) where you'd get the bridge and the car both in. Thanks for the castle suggestions!

The car is just a modern Subaru SUV I'm afraid, nothing excessively interesting.
 
Yeah was gonna say you can drive on that tiny road which goes underneath it, you can pull up on the far side too as its a bit wider. But it's pretty quiet down there so i'm sure you'd be able to jump out for 60 seconds to take a picture.

I was walking along that road on Saturday and only saw 1 car go along it for the 15 mins we were mooching around there after visiting the library.

I know it's south Wales and not North Wales but I love this spot in Chepstow overlooking the severn bridge

This spot under the Severn Bridge in Chepstow is perfect for photographing cars against the stunning backdrop of the landscape.

For a bit further north in manchester i've seen a far few photos on instagram with the manchester skyline in the background from first street car park


There's also manchester central


Or i'm pretty sure just any decent backdrop in Snowdonia would look cool too.
 
We went along the North coast of Wales yesterday. Got some photos right in front of Gwrych castle, and went around the Great Orme scenic route using my (joking, but apparently taken seriously!) suggestion of me driving in front with my boot open and her sitting in it recording out the back while someone else drove the Scooby behind.
