I had a chance last night to do a quick shoot with my new car -- an '04 R32. I'm almost in disbelief I actually managed to pick it up! It was on the lot for about 18 hours, ha. I had to work quick though; it's truly a one-of-a-kind. It belonged to an old record producer or somesuch and he only put 1630 (no, I'm not missing a digit) original miles on it. He installed a Carbonio CAI and replaced the Aristo wheels with RCs.

I drove up into the local hills and caught some nice evening light. I tried my best to avoid nasty reflections from the trees, but they're difficult to avoid. Let me know what you think!

The first one is very cool, but the last one is my favorite. Love the curves in the road.

I have a 01 GLX VR6 5 speed.... sweet ride man!

You should reallllllly look into the Haldex controller software... puts the car into 50/50 front to rear torque distribution when ever you feel like it.

Nice pictures, but watch the big dust spot on your sensor. Bottom left hand corner area.

Pretty nice for a quick shoot. That looks like a good location for more.

PJ: I'll definitely have to look into the Haldex controller. I'm a firm believer in 'more power to the rear wheels = more fun'

M: My camera needs some serious love -- Thanks for pointing that dust spot out though, I was focusing on cleaning up the extra-bad dust spots x_x.

Car looks amazing, and I can't believe it only has 1630 miles. My '08 has 20,400 already lol.

Are you on Vortex?

Thanks! And no, I haven't set up an account but I've been browsing it quite a bit. Maybe I'll go set one up now...

And for fun, here are a couple more:
