Default Sunny day = wash & photos!

We were lucky enough to have a break from the miserable whether this weekend, so have me a chance to get the cars cleaned up and take them both for a spin.

Stopped off to take a few pics while the sun was still shining!

Nurby blue seems to really change colour in the photos, although the light was a bit harsh which didn't help!

Can't wait for the weather to clear again so we can get some decent top down motoring again!! When I had my Eunos I used to leave the roof down all year around, and only got caught in the rain a couple of times!!

Hope you guys don't mind, but here's a few of my 944 as well, wanted to get a decent shot of them together, but couldn't find a decent location at short notice, and the setup didn't quite work out how I planned it - hey ho, there's always another day!!

This is my other baby, a 1988 944S:

They are like chalk & cheese to drive (not so much in how they drive, but how the controls feel), but I love them both

Nurburgring Blue is a fantastic colour in the sun.

Thanks Location and time was lacking, but I was just desparate to get some photos whilst they were both A - clean and B - sunny!! I uses a Canon 40D with Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens for these. I used a 20D for years and still have it, just upgraded to a 40D as the price has come down a fair bit, and the bigger LCD and faster AF was a bonus.

Thanks - it can be tough work keeping two cars clean this time of year!! The paint on the S2000 is pretty good with only some minor swirls, but come the longer days I will probably give her a light cut to get her looking even better!! I have a tiny rust bubble on one of the rear lips that I need to nip in the bud before it gets worse. I can't make out whether the arch lip protectors are a good thing or a water/crud trap! Ours has only bubbled a tiny bit where the protector has come away, but I can see how they would trap water and dirt.

Cheers! It is a lovely colour, maybe a little girly, but still looks great imo!
