Beat this!

[basstard]

Hi all guys,
for sure I know my car is not the fastest nor the coolest on these boards but since I always see the pics people post set up in sad car parks and the likes, I thought it would be nice if I'd show a bit of my hometown,,,

Easily you got a cooler car than mine but your tesco's car park sucks and I won't accept anything as cooler-than-this unless you post a pic of your car under the Parthenon in Athens or the Pyramids in Egypt,,,

Shots are by a dear friend of mine, you can find more of his work here.

Here we go:

The Colosseum with the Arch of Constantine:

The Colosseum:

St. Peters' dome in the distance:

Pseudo-arty shot:

Blurry shot of the Uknonwn Soldier monument in Venezia square:

C'mon then, show us your monuments!

Very cool shots fella

Best I can manage is this

London Eye/Houses of Parliament

River Thames near Chelsea Embankment

 

[basstard]

London Eye isn't enough, sorry mate
The Big Ben would have been better,,, [ok, it's there but you only can guess it,,,]

Liking the alloys pretty much,,, what are those?

 

[Cupra Kev]

Well technically you can't see Big Ben - you can see the Clock Tower but not the bell itself

Alloys are 17" TSW Legend 10's ... we like them, but not too easy to keep clean

 

[basstard]

I thought the big ben was the name of the clock tower not the bell

My bad!

 

[Cupra Kev]

(I thought Big Ben referred to the bell but had to go on Wikipedia to check my facts )

Good aul kirk o' Rhynie (understand that then you can say it doesn't beat it )



It is a video but me driving backwards round the Le Sarthe track

Aberdeenshire sign (don't know how this will beat it but it's infront of something )

Good pics, Carlo. I'm expecting the next ones to be of your car on top of the Vittoriano or in the middle of the Pantheon.

 

[basstard]

Nice pics Ibiza125 but still I can see a chronical lack of monuments

Dave, I'll have to try that lol,,, mind you pics 4 and 5 are the ones I like best out of a set we shot there,,, we had to wait for the police to go away and then start shooting cos you deffo CAN'T park there,,, it was also night so every shot needed like 40 seconds of exposure,,,

 

[Gills Fan]

To be honest I'm n ot too keen on the first set of pics and prefer the photo near the Thames.

Funnily enough we were there a few weeks ago and we were discussing how they'd routed the traffic further away from the Colliseum than it used to be in the old films. You were lucky you managed them without some **** dressed up as a centurion asking for money to be in the pictures.

River Thames is sad and it stinks!

Dave, you were in Roma few weeks ago?! you didn't tell me you

 

[Mr_Tom_Tom]

I Get Some Good Pics you watch !!!!!

I would have let you know, but I had wife, wife's brother & his wife with me. We rented an apartment just off the Via Veneto for three days.

 

[Gills Fan]

River Thames is sad and it stinks!

And it still looks better than your pics

 

[basstard]

Dave, must have been nice sleeping besides the yanks!

Gills fan, I'm kiddin', been in London last may and really liked it [altho the river stinks bad for real!!],,, ever been in Roma?

 

[DPJ]

Dave, must have been nice sleeping besides the yanks!

It's hard to get away from them

 

[basstard]

you told me you already been here in Roma, do you come often [I mean here,,,]?

 

[DPJ]

Not really, this was the third time in four years... I'll try and warn you next time.

 

[Ruddmeister]

Dave, I'll have to try that lol,,,

When I come over in Jan we can do some really arty shots, I'll set your Ibiza on fire and you can drive the car into the River while I film it

Kidding!.....the St Peter's dome shot is the best IMO, nice work
