Talking just washed my baby...

hey all... just thought I would share some pics. Just got done flushing the coolant (thanks for those who gave tips) and gave her a wash. Didn't have time to wax it yet, but I will tomorrow. Also, notice the mini 7? Thanks to those who helped me find that too. If you're interested, check out diecaststation.com.

my mods are in my profile...

thanks.

Nice, I love red FD's even though they are so common. The red accents the rear lights extremely well, and anything else black on the car

thanks guys.... yes, yes, I do need to work on my photography skills. I must say, I am pretty bad. Although, my camera does suck. It adds an orange tint to any red color. The pictures just don't do it justice

lol, I didn't notice the reflection on the driveway I just sealed it the other week... maybe that's why...

I like silver and yellow too... although red and black are my favorites...

Well the better camera is a good start When taking shots of my car I like to try different angles and exposure settings. I've become fond of shots taken from the ground. Try reshooting the same shot until you get the right look.

And I like the polished rims

Very nice

Your a fast learner.

Just thought I'd add that another member, scrub, recently posted pics of his car and his photography was top notch. I wouldn't mind getting some tips from him on taking some good shots

Here is the link to his thread if you're interested:

thanks guys... yeah, BlueRex, I've seen that thread before. Those pics are sweet. Definitely a nicer crisper camera. I don't know how he can attach those on this forum since the limit is only 100 kb per image. Is there a way to?

My camera is crap... it gives my car an orange, faded, look... I don't like it. My red color is really red... Next on my list is to get a nice, nice, camera.

Sorry dude, looks good but can you post more pics on a new thread after you checked your tire pressure! That would be awesome!
