Hey all,

Darryl, thanks for the tip on the box, will have a chat with the guys as soon as I get a chance.

Well, car is cleaned and ready for Yamba in the morning, leaving Kingaroy at 8 o'clock. New windscreen is in and everything is all good except for the gearbox of course but shit happens. (over that)

As I said to the missus, I don't care if it take us all day to get there as long as we get there, and I don't care if the car comes home on a tilt tray, as for the last 8 months or so our life has been all about getting to this weekend, making it to the show and meeting all the people that have helped me with information and advice during this build.

Can't wait, so excited I could just pee.

Enjoy Malcolm

Your gonna have to beat 'um back with a stick to get near your car this weekend

Just wish I was there to see it too.

Oh-thought you might have sold the Lada and bought a REAL car

HEY ! its a Niki and its done a damn fine job of getting me round for 4 months while the Calais was broken !

[Malcolm]

Hey all,

Well the car made it to Yamba for the nationals and home again with no real problems.
All the family had a great time and enjoyed meeting forum members and seeing all the great cars.
We were also very happy with our cars win

On the way home we met up with Chris GENTLE a photographer for S/M Magazine at
Brunswick Heads a for a photo shoot of the car. That took about 2 hours, dodging the rain.
After that we headed for home and it rained all the way home. Least the windscreen didn't leak.

Added a last photo of the car that was done by Chris the photographer. His lighting and skills made me go holyshit




Cheers

Hey Malcolm.....

Hey Spyder......are you in for a Top End tour to Bendigo in 2009???

[Devilrod]

Its amazing what difference a professional photographer can make. Thats an awesome shot!

I know from the calendar shots of my cars how much better they seem to look.

You've gotta be happy Mal.

Great photo Mal, a neighbour of mine had pic's of his HK monaro by a bloke working for Street Machine, he said the equipment was worth $15000. He took heaps of pic's in one spot with different settings, took bits out of each one to make one, the tricks of the trade, Trev

[Malcolm]

Yep the photos looked great and I guess when you know what your doing with a camera
and a shit load of lighting anythings possible.

Here's another shot he has just sent.

[Devilrod]

Mmmm wonder if it will make the cover, good chance looking at that last pic! The guy shooting pics for the calendar Maiki did had a camera around the $50g mark!!!!!!
