Title: OK.. OOF Calender.
Post by: Darth Loo-knee on 29 April 2009, 00:20:42

We have until 1st October to get some Gorgeous photos of our Omega's in. That gives all Summer.

We want all Specs not just Elites, MV6's etc.... But we would like some variety of pictures please, Pretty Locations, Meet Pictures etc...

We will sort out a thread to post all the Pictures Only, they can then be all viewed by the Members of the Forum.

For the time being get taking your pictures :y

No I had knackered suspension but now have a nice set of Eibach springs, some KYB GasAdjust shocks, some raising spacers for the back to deal with the weight of the gas tank, new wishbones & droplinks, and has been setup at WIM!

I will be taking my D-SLR Camera down to the Rufforth Meet. So can take a few pics there if wanted.  They will be high quality and clear photos too. :y

Also taking the tripod, so we could have a few group shots!  :y

The more pictures the merrier a wider choice to choose from, any that don't get used could always be saved for the following one  :y

i think entwoods Irmscher 3.2 would be a good candidate for the pikey wagon shots

What we also have to think is if you were going to buy a Calender what pictures you would like on it?

If you think you may need to Photoshop or whatever your pictures, could you post the finished Pictures, as it may become confusing when there are a few of the same picture when we have to vote.

Cheers :y

I've no idea how to "photoshop" whatever that is, only pics i've got of the Beastie are on here under various posts & in my photobucket. Ian & Richard took some pics @ York with a better camera than mine but these hav'nt been posted in the calender post. I don't know if my camera is hi res (doubt it). I took a few of her under the tree with Richards but did'nt post them in gallery or York pics as plenty were there already. I'll shift a couple over from photobucket but don't know if the quality is hi res or not.
   I know the Beastie is far from the star of the show but given her OOF history & the fact she's sexy as break i'd like to put her forward to fight her corner....she's never shied away from a challenge!!!!! 8-)

How many dogs do you think I can get in Syd :D :D Heads all hanging out the windows and the sunroof. Even better if I can get my Labrador driving in his sun glasses 8-) Would make a great pic, maybe not what your after but would be fun trying ;D ;D ;D

I have a hi-res image of the beastie from ian's camera, will add it to the calendar thread if you want Guy, I just need to brighten it up a little first.  :y

If any are picked that I post, I will need to e-mail the full Hi-Res image to who ever needs it as the photobucket ones are downsampled to 1024x768 I think.

No I ain't, I will get it sorted at the weekend cheif. I can only apologise for the extremely bad start I did in the beastie, didn't do it justice. Not used to manual and your clutch was quite heavy. I know!! Excuses Excuses  :D

How was your first drive of a Facelift Automatic MV6 then? I forgot to ask!!

Post by: amigov6 on 07 May 2009, 20:37:27
Noticed you'd turned the TC off when i got back in, best left on in a straight line drag or she'll sit in her own tyre smoke, she does go like hot snot when you're used to her. As for yours i was pleasantly surprised. First auto Mig i've driven other than moving TB's tractor in Telford. 1st run i forgot the sport button, 2nd i changed gear myself & she flew, drives as sweet as she looks, peachy mig!!! :y
