Re: An Aston for a few days.....
Great Pics [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]
Needs a top down one though, if you have one. Next challenge is to take a few snaps of something ordinary (or even ugly) and make them look good. Do that and you're another step closer to booting the dull but probably better paying IT career into touch. Go for it! |

The TT is a design classic (regardless of underneath bits) so that is way too simple. Admittedly the S3 is as bland as white Y-Fronts (DUCKS VERY LOW) but I was thinking really ordinary, like a Focus - make the latest facelift look good and new career is assured [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img] |

Re: An Aston for a few days.....
Grat pics mate! It is one stunning looking car, better than the new ones in many ways. The noise it makes is also glorious, better than hew ones IMHO.
I had one for a wk end a while back. I thought it was a right pig to drive. I wrote a review somewhere in this review section. I remember not being able to work out how to use the roof, the gearbox and clutch were the worst I have ever used and the steering was so biast to self centre you could hardly turn the bloody thing. All that, but it is stunng! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

Re: An Aston for a few days.....
superb pics Dean. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]
Just had a look at your site too and the dirt-jumping pics are as good as (if not better than) any I've ever seen! Great work. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

Either way, it's far superior to my numb handling soot chuck Audi!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

Dean, anytime you feel the need to add a small fibreglass bodied rollerskate in the shape of a blue VX220 to your portfolio, just give me a shout. [/ QUOTE ] That would be awesome (as would a silver one)! Where abouts are you based?? |
