You have my vote for the best photo! Caught with great lighting. Wonderful.

Norm, indeed a nice Texas early morning shot or was it the day before the show evening shot. Whatever the time of day, it's a great shot of a fine car

Milly
Very handsome lady. Welcome to the great family of Pagoda addicts

Rolf-Dieter ✝︎ · « **Reply #87 on:** July 10, 2014, 11:31:36 »

Nice car Milly,

Welcome to the SL Pagoda Group .... Another Ontario Pagoda very nice!

Did you find this car here in London on the south side?

PS. Looks like you managed to post the picture okay.

Four of my favourites... long ago (before digital cameras) I drove my SL up onto the grass at Spanish Banks beach in Vancouver. I also like driving at night, and tried to capture the feel of that. And the last one with the vintage look.

Garry · « **Reply #89 on:** July 10, 2014, 21:53:00 »

Rico,

Couple of very nice photos there and a great looking car. What is the colour, Black or Dark Olive?

Good to see you back here again, Rico!

I have watched your nice downtown-Vancouver Youtube video many times. But it's gone now ....
Your black beauty looks so great.

BTW, you are doing 75 miles (120 kmh) at 3400 rpm?
Have you got a five speed or a long rear end (3,46)?

All best,

Achim

rico_vancouver · « **Reply #91 on:** July 11, 2014, 03:09:43 »

Garry, it's black.

Achim, yeah, I have decided to make some improvements recently, so back active again. Actually, my account got deactivated, since I was so dormant. But you caught me... mine is a 4-speed; I wanted the speedo to look more engaged, so photoshopped a higher speed. Actually, I've rarely been up over 80 mph. I don't know about the rest of you, but mine is deafening at that speed. Engine, exhaust and wind noise pure cacophony!

I deleted that video, as I thought it was lame. I tried another evening one that was better: http://youtu.be/btOeCoHU5DA
Maybe next time I do as "sea to sky highway" run, I'll try another recording. Or maybe the Seymour mountain highway climb.

And ironically, this segment from the movie "Intersection" shows Richard Gere driving a silver W113 on the same sea-to-sky highway (not the farm scenes with the white fences). Although the crash segment might bring some to tears.

Here's mine as a wedding car recently.

KevinC · « **Reply #94 on:** July 11, 2014, 15:57:36 »

Great photo Ger. I showed it to my wife who has on occasion mentioned that it seems like I am married TO MY CAR. The variety of responses to that comment have been endless on my part. Fortunately she knows its all in jest

Peter van Es · « **Reply #95 on:** July 13, 2014, 09:01:10 »

Here's a couple of my photographs… not very recent… but nice.

First with a couple of old Volvo's

Second photo… driving

kampala · « **Reply #96 on:** July 13, 2014, 14:11:15 »

Peter,

How's the driving photo taken? I would think in order to get the car (and you) in focus and get the background blurry it's taken with quite a long lens or it's taken from another moving car? Nicely done.

Peter van Es · « **Reply #97 on:** July 14, 2014, 09:14:56 »

Tjeerd, a good friend of mine stood in a field with a slight tele-lens (85mm) and the following values: ISO400, f/18 and 1/125 shutter, and a Minolta Dynax 7D camera. He moved the lens with the car whilst taking the photograph. However, I also used a little photoshop to make the blurring in the picture a little more pronounced.

Since then I have bought better equipment, and I can quite reliably shoot pretty good car moving pictures… such as this one: no Photoshopping involved, Canon EOS 60D, 75mm lens, ISO 800, f/4, 1/800 (which is why the car is sharp), moving with the car.

Or this Mustang… not moving as fast (it is in the pit lane). Both of these were taken during the European EVent 2012 at Spa Francorchamps circuit.

Very nice pictures Peter.

Greetings: Ger.

The second picture sent by Peter on July 13 should be called "Favorite picture of our the favorite car with our favourite President"
