GTP_WRS'ers and their ride...

And no need to worry whether or not Jake really has all of those. I've seen all 3 live and in person. The Z is a work of art. :drool:

The 240Z looks damn sexy.

Superb pictures. That's the best I've ever seen a 350Z look. Weren't you talking of selling it a little while back?

Thanks, they're HDR: multiple shots (in case of my pictures: three of them) at different exposures combined into one picture to get a higher dynamic range than is usually possible with one picture. Since I was shooting a black car against a relatively bright background, one shot will result in either of two things: the car being exposed right and the surroundings being overexposed, or the surroundings at the right exposure and the car underexposed. By combining those you get the best of both worlds.

And I'm not thinking of selling it, the car brings a smile to my face every day I drive it (and that is every day

).

I am just a fan of Holden, it would be a bit hard to acquire one in the US I would think, but I haven't looked into it. I build 3D graphics for General Motors on occasion and was contracted to make all the GM emblems in 3D for advertising purposes. I just really like the the logo and decided to make it an av.

here is a higher res render:

Woops my mistake, didn't realise you were in the US, I just seen the Holden symbol and assumed. :dunce:

I did wonder how you would have gotten a Tacoma in Australia though.

The logo is a very good image.👍

OK.
I think I'll stick to my noob photography, too complex for me.

Next year I'm planning to (finally) buy an MR2 Turbo:tup:

And yes indeed, here he is

GTP_Mav3r1cK · Feb 7, 2009

Here's my past and presant cars. I was instructed that the Scooby had to go before the arrival of our baby. Hence the second more "sensible" car.........

MY51 JDM WRX STI Impeza

MY55 Mondeo ST TDCI

Hey, did you know they put your steering wheel on the wrong side? :sly:

Cool lookin' ride, Dan. 👍

GTP_Mav3r1cK · Feb 18, 2009

Wicked witch of the west threw up on yer car eh Hyper - never mind mate

Look on the bright side you could be driving around in a 5 door Turbo Diesel like some us :ill:

Although, I am yet to tell the missus that the reason it's "fairly quick" in her words, is because it's chipped to 190bhp with 400nm Torque :sly:

TiZzla · Mar 9, 2009

Those are some nice looking rides.

Did you do the work on those Mazdas yourself?

And thanks for sharing.

I bought the gtx like that, and the wagon was my step brothers and he did all the work, bare metal respray, it had an external wastegate with a screamer pipe and ran 17psi. 👍

Cool thread!

My daily driver is the '02 320d M kit:

I fel in love with this car when my dad bought her. After a couple of years he sold her to me and since then she's in good hands

Already 250000 kms on the counter but she holds herself pretty well...

And now a little project i stuck myself with since this summer, E30 318IS... I love her even more these days, but she only gets out in the weekends:

Before polish and wax.

The amazing red is back now after polish and wax.

This is how she stands now.

I'm planning to repaint the car because the mirrors are to far away, And now with the IS lip being black it just screams for a total repaint, plus the engine could use some newer parts to, especially the chain driven valves... Lots of work

stock for now...

Anghammarad · May 21, 2009

Car #1

Renault Megane Touring 2005. It has the 1,6 litre engine

Car #2

Mitsubishi Carisma 1998. With leather seats no less.

And finally Car #3

Citroen C5 2003 Exclusive, with 2.2 litre diesel and automatic gearbox

None of the pictures show my actual cars, they're just taken from google. But those are the car models I currently own.

Can you tell I go for the sporty models?

The Mercedes dealer just across the street from where I work just got a brand spankin new SLR Roadster to the showroom. I'm thinking that maybe I will go there and offer my tree cars as an even trade for it. I mean how can they refuse, they will get three cars and I will only get one, and one that is quite impractical as well.

Timppaq · May 21, 2009

My current ride has only 2 wheels.. 4 wheelers I only got virtually so far. :sly:

Should get a bigger though....

Animera · May 21, 2009

These were my 2 cars back in South Africa. I still own the GTC, but the gold Astra is sold.

Paulie · May 21, 2009

2 things I never knew about Animera:

He comes from/lived in South Africa
He drives an Astra.👍

Always liked the current generation Astra, older generations not so much......

Animera · May 21, 2009

In SA they are called Opels. I cant wait to buy my first 'Holden', probably next year.

Paulie · May 21, 2009

I realise this.👍 What kind of Holden are you getting since you already own an Astra? CarAdvice has nothing but praise so far for the new Holden Cruze, but that wouldn't exactly be a sports car. :lol:

I imagine that 2 door Astra handles pretty well?

Animera · May 21, 2009

The Astra GTC is such a joy to drive. I bought it brand new and it now has 23,000 km's. It has all the fancy gadgets (Speed button that lowers the chassis, seat warmers, cruise control, headlight washers, etc.) plus its a manual 1800.

The car I really want here is a V8 commodore. I've fallen for them ever since I arrived in NZ.

VE SS commodore maybe? My dad has one of those.

They're really fast when you put your foot down. It just takes off, a lot of power for a stock car.

Awesome, good to hear it's a manual.👍 A V8 Commodore is a very nice choice, are you aware we have a Holden fan club on GTP? :sly:
