very nice day you had dingo!

now I feel sad that I didn't buy 350D instead of my A200 - all the pics here are light-years away from my shots by my one class lower camera :bah:

really nice pics, congrats for your setup dingo!!!

I love all those pics

thanx!

Wow, fantastic pics there mate...! Really love the 430CH, such a rare beast. Must have been a fantastic feeling to be able to drive that beauty. Haha, was just wondering if anyone noticed on the front windscreen of the Ferrari 430CH, there is a small notice, "Please do not request to drive this vehicle as refusal may offend" I found it very amusing as the owner must have really thought alot about the kind of responses he'll get when he goes out on track. He even bothered to do up the notice in a Ferrari Theme! Haha, just found it interesting and was wondering why no one brought it up. Lol! Anyway, really great pics overall, love em...

The gearchange also feels alot more abrupt, plus its noiser in the cabin and alot less comfortable. I can't imagine driving the thing in an endurance race - I'd be stuffed!

Try racing a shifter kart

REAL nice pics dude! Seems like you've mastered the new DSLR pretty quick!

I really love that picture of the Red Diablo with one door up. That would be my vote for the POTM!

I didn't actually drive the car, just a passenger for 5 laps or so.

Yeah I found the sign funny too, it was actually put on by the salesman at the dealership (Ray) not the current owner of the car (who actually owns the dealership).

I love that pic too, but quality-wise I don't think its up there with the AMV8 panning shot.

Amazing day you had, I'm not jealous at all, no

The 430Challenge is a awesome car, my favourite photo is the rearshot #10
Saw my first 3 F430Ch last month (pics in queue), they were in black without sticker, also a nice color.
For sure I saved al AMV8Vantage pics

the Porsche panning shot salegosse was pointing out is great
Me likes also the silvergreyGallardo pics

Dingo,

Nice pictures mate !!! Congrats with your new camera, it's clear that you are immediately used to shooting with a DSLR

Nice panningshot of the Aston. The Aston by SportAuto which will participate in the 24H-race at the Ring is yellow as well

It's a nice colour for this car although it isn't the first colour that comes to mind when it comes to an Aston.

Keep up the good work Dingo!

Cheers

Woops, never noticed there was a second page on your site!

I also really like the black 911 GT3.....

Do I need to make the Page 2 button bigger?

Unfortunately that GT3 CS went home on the back of a truck after some sort of engine failure.....and he just had it serviced the previous day!

I thought that the button was something about the location of the event, since it's a small map of Australia.

StanAE86 · 06-13-2006, 11:03 AM

Hey Dingo...those are great pics! I'm hoping to see a few up on the next month's front page contest!

Smylait · 06-13-2006, 01:43 PM

Very nice pics.

Z3uS · 06-13-2006, 10:06 PM

Exellent pictures! Driving the 360C must have been an out of this world experience...

But, what really caught my attention was the stunning yellow V8 Vantage. Ohh God... Especially this pic:
