Yes indeed. Swen plans every detail of every shot he does. Was quite a process setting this up. 15 mins with a rag and soap haha.

Just one picture. A new friend of a friend who is now a friend of mine, Swen Carlin, is an amazing protographer. You have probably seen a lot of his work on Billboards in Auckland. He shoots a lot of high end, new cars for promotion. So 3 of us cruised around for an afternoon looking for places to shoot a new German GT car which is coming out soon.. And found amazing locations, and this particular spot suited my ol' tech1. My car was dirty as hell, so the next day we spent 90 mins washing and polishing (goddamn basketweaves) and headed back up. Result: (might have to scroll through the pics if he has uploaded more) http://www.swencarlin.com/#mi=2&pt=1&a...mp;a=0&at=0 Yeah that's the summit rd in the background, SS Summit West, about 1km before my silly video starts at. Look at his other work too. It was so great to learn about the full professional side of photography. It really is much, much more than having the right settings on the camera. Such an Art.. That's a lot of writing for one photo! Then again, it took 3 hours to do. The full res version is special, very special. Might have to frame it!

I arrived for work in Sol square, with the big screen, just as 90 mins ticked over. A few tense minutes later, as the final whistle went off, a vicious roar from the crowd of about 500 people echoed through the alleyways.

I love how you actually used some capital letters and withheld text speak in this post, to reinforce the use of the word 'mature'. Otherwise it would have been a train wreck! Keep it up boss.

Managed a top 3 yet? Hmm, thought so.

Saw a Pink 318ti with sick chromies on the way to the gallops at Riccaton Racecourse. Is it yours louis297?

Oh, forgot to mention that the situation was the same as this, I only had 3rd party, they had full insurance, was 100% there fault. Their company bought me out for the value of the car and I got the wreck back for a song.

If they write it off and pay you for it, they own it. You can buy the car back for dirt cheap (I bought my last heavily rear-ended, $3500 paid-out, E30 back off State for 250dollars) Win super win. Apart from the hassle and losing a nice as car..

That picture gallery is something really special.

Such win on the Plate. Nice car! *lrning 2 speel

Gravel Rally E30 M3, insane control Bit of In-car E30 M3 on Tarmac http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpd6ELRFbqk

Makes you heat up with anger, doesn't it?! A-la: Love the cluster mod, the track width, the moving steering wheel, and all the hard work Mr westy!

Bam. Zipties for the win. Brake ducts work so well.. No more flames though! :( :( :( Seem to have connected all the zip ties together in my pic.. The closest 2 are seperate. The back 2 are ziptied up to a braket on the frame rail.

Just bought Doom Classic for the Itouch today. So perfect. As cool as I remember.

I just downloaded Captain Comic and DosBox. So many memories! Doom just came out on the Iphone/Itouch. So buying it.

Are those chromies?!?! Offset needs attention however. Bloody running hoonda wheels.

M325i for 11g with 18's?! What the hell? And then an E46 appeared. Phew.

Great shooop. Hey look, the new Previa competitor.

But of course. Yeah wouldn't fit a 4 door. Bad luck! I think they are hot hot hot.

To save writing something massive and technical that will just get laughed off like above, I have this picture. 350lb/in springs (standard e30 front springs are 115 I believe), -3.4 degrees of camber, 1mm of toe-out (a very, very, very small, quite standard amount of toe-out), 24mm sway bar, and Michelin Pilot Preceda tires on 32psi cold. Doing some, hate to use this term: Trailing braking into a corner. Look at where the outside edge of the tire is, it is getting scrubed to death. This poor set of tires gets abuse like this every weekend, and has done for a year almost. Could increase the tire pressure.. Could increase the spring rate.. Could run more camber.. but it's a daliy driver too, so one or two compromises have to be made. That's why there is wear. There is nothing 'fundamentally wrong' with the set up. It works an absolutle treat, especially on the track. Will have to use the Iphone's G-force meter and see what it can do on a skid pad. Then post it back up here sometime. And crikey, it's like I murdered some jews, relax.

Jesus Mary and Joseph. Can't wait to pick up one of these in 10 years when they are the next E36 M3!

I can just imagine the flood of emails he is getting: 'DOZE IT COME WITH A FLAX COPLACITER LOL?!?!'

What about sport gets nearly 5G under brakes? Sad.
