Delivery Day Photos

The Grape has arrived, and WOW! Love it! Here's a few photos. Evidently after motoring all day, I cannot utilize the brain cells that once knew how to post a picture as .jpg and not just through links. Oh well.. here's two of the newest member of the family.

p.s. it really does look purple in real life. For some reason, the camera only captures it looking very blue.

OK. Here's a better option for finding the GRAPE. I'm a blogger and a new amature photoshower, so here's my site.

www.flyngrape.blogspot.com

You will instantly see the Grape when you follow that link. Also to the left, under my profile, I've a link named "our videos". There's a photoshow of the grape in there too. It's pretty easy to get to as I'm fairly new at this stuff. If I can do it, most everyone else should be able to.

I noticed that about purple mini's too. A lady in the local club just got her purple mini, and i took a ton of pictures of it, all different angles... i upload the photos, and they all look blue!

Great!

Glad to see it finally arrived. Man, only three days earlier and it could've been at the races with us!

I love the color in the photos. I haven't seen one in the metal yet. Maybe I won't lament the passing of IB anymore.

Grape! Most excellent photos! I'll be up at Rasmussen in about a month to pick up my MCS... Do you have any photos of the interior? Congrats again!

WOOHOO! Congrats! Another happy BEP/PH owner!

It does have a tendancy to look a little blue in photos, but try adjusting your camera's white balance. Out on a nice, sunny day with my camera's WB correctly set, it does look properly purple.
