Me & Lucy At The Beach
« on: February 08, 2007 - 06:27:21 PM »


I haven't posted photos of Lucy for about 8 years so I thought I'd better get my A-into-G.

I went out for a 4 hour drive today, out to the coast. Open roads, no one around, hot sunny day, just Lucy & I.
Was awesome!! She drove like a dream and handled very well. Shes quite dirty in the photos but I think she looks good dirty, lol. Drove through cow crap, a little mud, etc....Anyhow, there are heaps of photos but I hosted them on my site to save bandwidth space here. :icon16: I have been driving her heaps, took her to her first show Sunday gone, she was very well received, no prizes at the show, just a show and gathering for American car fans.

Anyhow, hope you enjoy them....still grinning from the drive. :biggrin: As I said, HEAPS of photos.


Cheers,
Carl

Thanks lads.  :cheers: I forgot to mention, the 2nd photo, I live behind/over those hills. It's 1 hour 15 minutes drive. The last photo, I drove around to the point and back. You can keep going all the way around but you need  a 4x4 at some stage. I was out at this place yesterday driving my Ford. lol Does this shot look familiar?

Beautiful pictures! Lucy looks sort of Vanishing Point-ish with all the dirt...

Thanks everyone, much appreciated.  :cheers:

Moparmatt - Vanishing Point-ish?  :lol2: I don't think you could get any closer myself.
Maybe if I removed one mirror?  :dunno: :icon16:

Daytona - Thanks bud, I like your of photos too, lots of angles and drama shots.
It's a hobby of mine (hopefully you can tell) and what better subject to shoot than a Mopar, E-Body at that.
