Sorry about that guys, we just missed the light, Blame Ash for talking for too long

Happy to try again at some stage at earlier part of the evening

i'm gonna pass on these ones.... you cant actually see my car

lol

Nice try guys but I think time of day + positioning didn't really pay off on this one...was still a good mini meet lol. Who's up for round 2?

TJ got some front and centre action atleast lol. Didn't really agree with the salute to the Stagea, no offence TJ but it is predominantly a Skyline car club :down:

Yes well considering what time we got there unfortunately this was the best we could expect, considering the time of night

If we had been leaving at 8pm as Wayne had wanted then i think it would have been a very different story

Oh well cant please eveyone

Also Birds if you note from last nights AGM that we aren't a predominantly Skyline club we have a big mix of non skylines, so why cant the Stagea be front and centre ?

Shots turned out great! Lucky to get a front position too :down: Was a good meeting for the people that rocked up, it was very informative on how the club is going. Great to know we're going strong!

Turned out to be a nice little meet and met lot a friendly people and had some good talks. Good night overall.

generally you would want something a little less COMMON as the centrepiece, so a very CLEAN STAGEA looks good in the middle :down:

only thing that would of worked better in the middle would be been an R35 GTR...

no point having a 33 as the centrepiece, they arent exactly unique, and there would be too many others in the shot :)

agreed!

plus we wanted everything evenly spaced

yeah James these will be framed. For once my car actually looks like its ment to be there, not just hanging around up the back.

Your all facing my car cause your trying to absorb some of my stealthy-ness :down:

cheers ryan :)

I'm well aware we have a big mix of non Skylines but the most popular cars in the club are Skylines. The club wouldn't exist if it weren't for Skylines. And well, Skylines Australia Victoria...it's in the name. I don't think any car should have been front and centre to be honest, nor have a heap of cars pointing towards one...but if you're going to do that then it should probably be a Skyline. I'm not trying to Nazi the photoshoot; just putting forth my opinion that I didn't agree with the setup of cars. Forgive me for having the honesty to give you guys some constructive criticism. I'd have purchased a full sized print if I could see more than 15% of my car, as would others I'm guessing. The time of night was probably better suited to individual car shots IMO.

Well like I said, You cant please everyone

Well if i know what people were expecting or wanted then I could have planned better, but as we had virtually no light I worked with what I had.

It is this kind of non appreciation that makes me wonder why I should give up my time to do this for the club and its members

Why are you viewing it as non-appreciation? I said "nice try" and I like the others appreciate the time you guys took to make an appearance at the meeting/photoshoot...but why can't I disagree with the photoshoot without it being seen as non-appreciation? That isn't very professional IMO.

/end my contribution to this thread. Thank you.

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
