belongs to a gentleman in our local MINI club.

Very nice ..

 

I love those rims! If I ever see a GP parked somewhere, I'm going to switch our rims/tires. I hope you don't mind who ever you are. Is that website on his back windows his site?

 

I still hate those red mirrors

 

I used to, but im warming up to them everytime i see them

 

wow.. I absolutely want that car.

 

Nice of him to let you photograph his car, did a fine job. Did he let you drive it to location?

 

Wonderful pics! I wish my car was closer to where you are!

 

Nice looking! Funny thing with all MINIs (it seems) is that the power of the car visually is actually surpassed by the mechanical performance of the car. I get little trickles/glimpses of information from people who actually drive a GP and find it so awesome...it re-validates whatever idiosyncrasies may exist in the visual design. I love that about MINIs...no matter how cool they look, the actual motoring quality of the vehicle is even better, and when the two interrelate it's no wonder we have such irrational love affairs w/ most every detail of these little cars. Hard to "get it" from the outside, but a "no-brainer" from the inside.

Thanks for the great visual study.

 

Nok,
Thanks for posting the pics of my car here. I'm glad you had a good time. I think that any self-respecting MINI maniac would be happy to have you do portraits of their baby. I recommend everyone take a look at your website and then make an appointment. I may want a reshoot now that I have seen the ones with the graffitti in the background.

As to the car, yes that URL is one place I partner my work. Anyone need 22,000 stadium seats? lol And as to the performance of the car, it is really all those little things. The respnsiveness of the car makes it far and away the funnest car i have ever been lucky enough to get to drive. And I like the mirrors too.

Motor On!

Love the color, wheels and specs...even the red mirrors are ok.

Am I the only one that thinks that air "thing" on the back ruins the line of the car? It completely distorts the line of the MINI. Looks like an afterthought.

 

To each his own but for what it's worth, I thought there would be three things I'd need to change once I got the car: Spoiler, Wheels and Grill. I only did the grill. The spoiler actually suits the lines of the car well the way it mates with the glass and at 135mph the car felt like it was as solid as 75mph. I can't wait to go faster. Most folks say when they see the GPs in person they look better than expected. I know I felt that way.

 

i saw one over the weekend , and i to think much better of them now... i'd love to steal the seats, they are so nice looking. o and the different gauge backround color is pretty sweet too.

 

JJ,
The GP looking GREAT, I'm going to have to find someone local to shoot mine.

 

Can anyone suggest a Northern California photographer specializing in car art?

 

Nice pics and the red tow hook is a nice touch

I'm not crazy about the exterior look (love the S look), but someone on eBay sold their order for approx. $8,000 over sticker. There were like 40 bids I saw.. They will ship it out to that buyer when they get the car... The demand is there!

 

Metalman, Look close at Noks website and you will see that he did a shoot in SanFran this year. Maybe he just needs an excuse to go back. Contact him see what he says. Also maybe Charlie needs some of his fleet photo'd

 

wow, that aero grill on the GP is awesome. Makes it more aggressive, and it matches the lower grill. Plus the red tow-hook is sweet, it matches the rest of the car and the "look" perfectly.

 

awesome photos

 

The dealership about 30 min from my college has 4 coming in next month, I cant wait to go check these things out. I might just skip class to take a look

 

that sticker on the side back window needs to go..
but whos ever car that is im jealous

 

All of my vehicles have to pay their own way. Everything I own has logos.

 

Tax write off.

 

Yeah, so I really really like the GP now....
