Trick photography; you have to get the angles right, the colours and the gradients, and a lot more if your using a SLR.

If you spent a bit of time, and drove it to a field etc etc, the pics would make your 6 look a whole lot better.

Ivan, a little tyrewall black, a bit of spit and polish on the bodywork, an inch off the ride height, and a bit of photographic magic (location, location location...?) and I'm sure your trusty steed will look the dog's.

-But don't get sucked into the awful world of concours, -per-lease!

I went to the BMWCC GB meet at Gaydon, and yes, it was nice to see some shiny cars, (and yes, I even polished mine- a bit like buffing up a big turd, I know...) but I have to say I worry a little about the mental heath of some...

Five minute after arriving, some cars were in the air with the wheels off, the wheelarches being cleaned with toothbrushes etc. Polishing the insides of the exhaust pipes. I could go on, but my head may implode....

At least there were not too many who's cars arrived on trailers, I suppose...

cheers

Oh I couldn't be bothered with all that cleaning malarky.. Squirt a bit of fairy on the roof the next time it slings it down - that does me...

(or the local jet wash if I'm feeling adventerous)

Ivan, take some more pics of your car - might look better second time round (straight side on pics)

It needs a darker day. Bright sun fools a digital camera into making a burgundy car look brown.....

There are some cars that only come out for concours....

Compulsive obsessives? Or obsessive compulsives?

"Compulsive obsessives? Or obsessive compulsives?"

Whats the difference? - the medication's all the same anyway!
