Thanks very much - photography is my 2nd passion - purely amateur though and no fancy software..

Cheers

Had a same colour facelift as yours.
Paint does look gorgeus but is a pain in the ass to maintain.
Every single mark is instantly visible on it

Nice car, like the chrome exhaust, is that just a tip stuck on? Contrasts well with the black!

Drayton ? - not sure if that's the name of the Farm if that's what you mean  :-\ - it's just a farmers field on the edge of Bicester that happens to have an interesting shaped barn and convenient hardstanding area. I'd hoped he was going to plant Rape Seed in it this year to give a bright yellow backdrop  :-\..
The exhaust is a stainless straight thru silencer system (cat back) custom made about 2 years ago with - so it sounds quite nice too without being in your face and rattling the neighbours  ::)

Glad you like the shots - true pia colour but worth the effort  :y

Cheers

Ian, as always it looks stunning. It's hard to believe it's done 150k, you got it circa 80k didn't you? And it looks in better condition now than when you first had it.
It'd be good to see you and the car again at some point  ;D

Absolutely fantastic Ian, we've seen first hand at the meets how meticulously you look after your car and the difference between clean and clayed up, super smooth pristine :y

Thanks Josh - yes it had 83k on it when I got it and is definitely looking better now than it did back then (at a price though  :-[).
Apologies for not making the last meet at Wycombe either - but hopefully now the sunshine is here the next one won't be far off. I love a challenge - maybe I could finish the rest of Kevin's car (was it Kevin ?  :-\ ) if it's not raining.  :y

Wow! That is one very VERY nice car you have there! Also looks like a very expensive paint job, Is it original? Top job on the polishing AND the photography!  :y :y :y
