Nice curves and a great rack ... yup, that's some car! :-)

I should be ashamed for that one ...

Yes I wish you could see more of the scene, and that her face wasn't covered :)
Awesome car though.

Nice looking dub man!

I have a 80 GTI made with all sorts of A1 parts. Love the car to death. Even though it's been parked for a few years I can bring myself to sell it! I seen these pictures yesterday and thought maybe next year I'll put some more work into it and just drive it recreationally. (I actually used to race it too in AutoX!)

Nice pictures though!

Hope you don't mind. Just played around a bit. Overdone maybe. It's hard to play with pictures of so low quality once resized on the net.

Close down a couple of stops on the aperture, I would love to see the girl in focus more. My eye leads straight to her then the car, it's very distracting. Nice concept though.

Love the concept... and the car. I have a 67 I made into a fenderless roadster.

Like the concept a lot. I would suggest planning photos like these though so that you can avoid the foot trails left in the snow. That way each shot looks like it was the only shot taken. When she's at the back of the car you can see the footprints from the front right side of the car and off to the right which tells the viewer that she wasn't actually driving it but only walked over to it from where the camera man is standing. It takes away from the photo and makes it seem planned. Even though we know these type of photos are always planned, they shouldn't appear as if they are.

Didn't think it was as old as '62 but now that I can view the whole car, I can see that. Absolutely love the car.:cool: Thanks for posting. I've got the bug now to get mine restored. No pun intended. Okay, maybe intended a little!:D


Please know that I'm NOT a professional photographer - nor even a good amature!:D My comments are always just from a consumer's point of view!;)
