They are suppose to do 200kmph, was there anything left in reserve AT 180?

Fantastic photo's, I think you have just raised the benchmark for some of us. I'd say your certainly more than your average photographer.

Look forward to seeing more!

I like your rego plate, very complimentary to the paint work,

rob

Wonderful shots very worthy of an appearance in a Pagoda calendar. Very classy indeed.

a photographer's trick is to take a photo at a slow shutter speed with the flash set to sync with the second shutter, then pan asross a stationary object (car). Turning on the marker lights will make for stronger highlights. If your camera doesn't have a  second shutter sync option you can just pan across the object backwards.

Al and others--that is an option on nearly all modern SLR's digital and otherwise and is called "Rear Curtain".  Here's a tutorial on its use.

I am not sure if it was a 230 or early 250, 4 speed manual and not sure of the axle ratio. The photo of the car I have is of the side and it has the small hub caps with trim rings.  Another member of the forum was the driver, I dont want to put him in but may be if he wants to reveal the info ;) Will ask him on a PM
  Using the tire size 205/70/14 and the axle ratio of 3:92 at 5800 RPM and a 1:1 transmission gearing, it calculates to 111MPH, or 179Kmh. Therefore my guess is a 3:92 with 205/70/14 tires.

Garry,

my condolences with the early onset of your alzheimer... I hope you recover soon.

(Your post in same thread, september 23rd, 2009: http://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=11451.msg76724#msg76724.... My comment then: "Nice pics but they fail to capture the motion...").

I have to keep posting so I don't forget that I have a car stored at another location and need to go get it out for a drive.

 And I just keep marking off the days on the wall so I know when its getting too long between drives!!!

Peter H demonstrates high level social responsibility, as he drives at 60 km/h compared to some that are speeding, recklessly breaking all possible road code rules :D.


Having said that all the pictures are just fenomenal, with some preference for those with the lady driver with scarf :)
