well todays a mission abort unfortunately, im replanning for next week, complete school boy error-luckily i checked my gear bfore i was about to set off, only to discover all of my 8 batterys were dead as doe'does -ooops-

D'Oh! That'll teach ya for not checking last night

As it's such a sunny day here in Kent, again, and I've actually got the day off, thought I would give the motor a Spring clean. Seemed daft not to take a couple of photos in the process.

Love the second image!! After a thorough cleaning it needs a thorough thrashing

if memory serves me correctly is that not a diablo gt? if so that certainly is a model you dont see to much of these days...

are you in the trade?

jason

You know your cars; it is indeed a GT. As far as I know there are only 3 in this country so no, you wouldn't see one very often.

No I'm not in the trade, which is a bit unfortunate as spare parts can be a bit pricey when you need them!

i can imagine parts are a nightmare...
yes quite the petrol head here, my fathers side are all italian so i know my 'proper' cars.

have you had any decent photos done of it under lighting?

its looks amazing!

Unfortunately not. I have had a couple of offers, but the timing is never right, or dates clash with something else I am doing. One day maybe.

At Beale Park (outside of Pangbourne in Berkshire).

With the 100-400.

Full frame on the Praire Dog, tight crop (almost 100%) on the Snowy.

Oooh.. What toy have you got from Scotland??

Yeah, I'll bring my goodie bag with the 135L. I'll let you play with it, and you'll see how much of a joy it is...

Example:-

Wow ... that doggie is barely as tall as the grass. Amazing

I just got another boring 17-40mm arriving. My fourth. The last one I sent back (not to Ian, another seller) as the AF died within a day! When I got my 5D the 10-20mm had to go so the L's the best choice IMO. I won't take it tho'. I got a new 24mm 2.8 too which is never heard of lens but decent if you like the 50mm 1.4 style of build and AF It's grand on the FF.
