Good spots brett! I had a flick through SM and noticed a trend with the car shots....
A lot of them shot them in front of Grey Cement Walls, Garages or on an Outback Road...
The Garage ones where normally like big nice white painted walls etc
The Cement walls were normally grey and very industrial looking ( and also had lots of Black tyre lines on the ground)
And the Outback ones were nomally shot late in the day (a very warm yellow light) with a very blue sky ( we can up the contrast in our pics to give this more emphasis)
So Maybe we could Start around bayswater at trans diff... Move our way down to ferntree gully for some more pics... Also grab a bite to eat at one of hte pubs along Burwood Hwy There. Then maybe Cruise Down Lysterfield road and maybe to berwick to find a nice spot to get some secluded shots in the afternoon.... I know this one spot on Harkaway road next to a footy oval that gets an awesome looking sunset over it, it also has a fire station and one of those truck cleaning bays which could make a car look a million bucks....
Just some thoughts. maybe i could take the HQ down there one afternoon and see how they come up...

Could we start somewhere, then meet halfway maybe? if some of you guys in the north know of some spots, maybe we could have two seperate photo shoots, then meet up and finish somewhere in the middle for lunch and a final photo shoot?
Im just thinking out loud!

We tried this last time and tried to include everyone. In teh end no one turned up and three vehicles had a great day. So if history repeats itself then only the eastern guys will turn up anyway.. :S

Remember a few years back (cough.....maybe a decade or two.....cough) when almost every tough car was built in Thomastown? (Just down the road)
Ahhhhhhh, the good ol' days.... when HQ Coupes and GTR XU-1s ruled the streets with nothing more than a fluffy dice or two and a pair of Aviator Sunnies hanging from your T-Shirt collar!!!
I swear, Running on Empty shoulda been filmed there!!
Waaaay to go, Maaaaaate!!!
And I'll be coming to the photo shoot.

I have had a bit of a hiccup.... Last night was out driving and my front wheel fell off... ripping in half my front flare.... im ok and it is only minor damage, lucky i was going only 5-10kph.... The flare bolted back on but has a split through the middle and flaked off the paint, so i might just have to do a bodgy repair and not photograph that side in the shots.....
I have a feeling someone may have attemped to steal my wheels, loosened them then realised i had lock nuts... Cos it was only one wheel with loose nuts...
Anyway i should post some pics of the damage.... I am just amazed all i had to do was jack it up, put the wheel back on and drive home... No damage to the disc rotor or anything... Im counting my lucky stars that i wasnt going faster or the car would have been a write off.... Not a good feeling...

Not good to here there Matty. Did the tyre rest on the guard or fall off completely? Check things over to make sure, often there might be things there that appear to be good but arnt, check it out.I have had a bit of a hiccup....

This is it half fixed, just re-attached... maybe put some paint on it and it will hide it enough until i have time to fix it properly...

Dont worry about it too much it is only the passenger side and thus you will never see it... unless of course you actually do open the door for your GF????

pffft... she is a big girl, she can open her own door! lol
Yeah well when it was sitting there on its disc in the middle of the road it looked a lot worse as well, once i got it home and tidyed it up i realised how lucky i was to get away with that little damage and also not to be injured!

Hmm, looks like you were very lucky Matt. No gambling for a couple of weeks, you've used up all your luck I reckon!
Hey! who said its us who's got the log in our eye Tim, how come you only have the speck? hehe
At this stage, I think we have just had a spanner in the works with the requests from other suburbs. How many ppl are actually interested in coming from far away? Knoath is already making the trip to the good side of town, if there is only 1 or 2 others interested then it may not be worth us changing our plans (no offence). If we are talking about an extra 10 cars then hey, we can come up with something to allow as many ppl to be involved as possible. Am I on the right track?

Hi Guys,
As I will try my hardest to attend this photo shoot...Working at Rare Spares is really keeping us busy on the weekends with the new Super Store, which is now trading 7 days a week. Has the date been confirmed? Has the run(route) been organised? Can I have the details of start and finish destinations and anything in the middle...
Cheeeers

Far out Matt, so glad to hear you didn't get up to high speed before the wheel came off, sheeeeeesh!!!! That's a very low act if someone did try to steal the wheels/loosen them off. Just glad it wasn't worse.
As for this cruise/photo shoot, I had planned to try to arrange some ideas, cruise info, but just haven't had the time. Work and car club stuff are both real hectic right now. We still have a couple of weeks to try and get something sorted out.
