post claybar, PC, and carnuba wax car show and rolling shots

spent 8+ hours friday night prepping my car for the Clemson Sports Car Club autofair this past saturday, and then we went on a run up to caesars head saturday and had some rolling shots done on the highway trip up to the twisties.

Those rolling shots are really cool. Was your photographer buddy in automotive journalism?

I see green on the trees, look like Spring has sprung there. Have you considered posting any of your shots in the April Photo Contest.

Yes I have . I just need to do it. And by buddy is a professional automotive photographer, but this as shot by hand and without a rig. ( spontaneous on a road trip, he was hanging out the window of a 300zx.) he is the official photogradhpr for a Nissan gtr club and NISMO is taking him to sema next year and giving him a media pass.

Absolutely beautiful! 8 hrs, eh? Whew ... I'm gonna have 2 try and dedicate that much time on Scoopie. I DID spend 6 hrs washing and claybarring once, but I need 2 do the other stuff at the same time (waxing, etc.).

Your friend hanging from a 300z's window has some sick talent. Awesome pics!

Kudos to you for the detail job and your buddy for awesome pics. Of course a big shout out to a hot looking MINI for giving you something worth working with. You could make a hefty sum if you ever need some cash badly enough. Great job!

Very, very nice... although if I spent eight hours on my MINI, I'd probably see divorce papers slide under the door of our guest bedroom. lol
