Aussie '08 Albi 197

Lol I will! Your work is awesome though man. Very impressive.

Thanks mate. All self-taught but still very much an amateur! I like to look back at my early stuff on Flickr to see how I've progressed. I think having a variety of lenses to choose from definitely adds to one's creativity ability though sometimes I like the challenge of shooting with a fixed prime lense too 8)

 

[Tom]

Yeah, variety is the spice of life eh? What is a fixed prime lense?

 

[walkie86]

Fixed focal length. Most prime lenses will have a ultra low aperture, meaing nice bokeh (blurry background) 8)

Update April 10

I swapped my K-Tec cat-back with my mates standard exhaust (with centre silencer removed) + cash my way. I just couldn't hack the drone on the freeway after the weekend away, plus I have my 172 track car I can take out if I want a loud obnoxious car! Not that the de-centre silenced stock exhaust is quiet, it just doesn't have the booming bass of the cat-back exhaust. Very happy with the swap + the extra cash almost covered the cost of my new suspension 8)

Update May 29

Well, a gloss black 200 diffuser came up for sale on eBay last week and with no reserve, I picked it up cheap. Fitted it last night. Very happy.

You can tell how far I could reach underneath when cleaning...

Love it. This car just keeps getting better.

I reckon some dark rings on the diffuser would look awesome.

 

[Duli]

Is it on spacers already?

Nice knob haha I love these but can't justify the cost!

Love this car and the quality of the pics. Think the 200 rear and 197 front is a big win!

 

[Deaks]

After seeing this I'm definitely going down the same route with the 200 diffuser on the 197.

Absolutely LOVE what you've done with this car.
