Great update. Really like the B&W Mini shot - the sort of picture I would have on my Living Room wall 👍

Would you happened to have a larger resolution for this? Would love to throw it in my mass folder o' wallpapers.

Look at the wheel right under the arch there ^^^ THAT is what you call "slammed". :D
 
Some Incredible Images here ,Your car collection is Pretty insane too I bought 4 cars Today because I looked at them here.Keep it up 👍
 
Thanks for the comments guys :)

@Soullessvessel here is the largest version I have of the GTi (perhaps I should save images in a higher resolution from GT5)

Darn, thanks for getting it but im on a 1920 X 1080 screen so sadly its way to small for me to use :( but thanks again for going through the effort of getting it.
 
Thought I'd share some of my collection - it's not much at the minute but I am determined to capture every premium car I get my hands on...

My first purchase
GT5_Civic3.jpg


GT5_Civic2.jpg


GT5_Civic1.jpg


Which understeered more than I remember from GT4 so I bought this lovely Focus ST
GT5_Focus1.jpg


GT5_Focus2.jpg


Just the kart I won from somewhere or other...
GT5_Kart1.jpg


...and the Daihatsu concept I won too
GT5_Dai1.jpg


GT5_Dai2.jpg


...and another prize car, an Isuzu concept
Gt5_Thingy2.jpg


GT5_Thingy1.jpg


I bought the Volvo C30 for one of the Seasonal Events
Gt5_Volvo1.jpg


...and just had to buy it in blue - carefully placing a tartan rug and box of tissues on the rear shelf
Gt5_Volvo2.jpg


I also got the MiEV for a Seasonal Event
Gt5_Kiev1.jpg


GT5_Kiev2.jpg


I donated this Copen to Bob and Bob for their B-Spec endeavours
GT5_Copen1.jpg


...and I am pleased they kept the interior clean
GT5_Copen2.jpg


They won a Toyota Prius for me - can't see me using this...
Gt5_Prius2.jpg


Gt5_Prius1.jpg


I hate muscle cars - I prefer finesse - but got this Dodge for the Seasonal Event
GT5_Dodge1.jpg


...and surprisingly enjoyed taking it around Daytona
Gt5_Dodge2.jpg


I also bought this Golf GTi for the Seasonal Nurburgring event
Gt5_GolfGTI1.jpg


Which I tuned a little - naturally
GT5_GolfGTI2.jpg


...and got the gold cup on my second run
Gt5_GolfGTI3.jpg


All post edited in Adobe Lightroom for just a hint of colour balance, contrast and vignetting - some cropped, resized and some sharpened a little - no other post shot editing. Hope you like them :)

nice gti!!
 
Thanks guys :) I've been busy taking some shots of 'standard' models the last day or so...

but, please do tell, what setting should I use in photomode to get those large scale widescreen images you all seem to get - my GTi pic was disappointingly small :(
 
Hey there when in photomode press the triangle to bring out the photomode menu, select Aspect Ratio and select 16:9 (that'll get you 1920x1080 pixel images). HTH! :D
 
These are some stunning pics, especially the 370Z 👍

I really feel like taking some realistic photos of my own now :D
 
very nice collection! I have the civic type R and the OFC thing as well.
Back to the pictures, I really like the shots of the green Cobra. specially
the close up of the headlight lens. It's just so realistic, and i think it
trumps the rest of the pictures in your gallery in my view. well done.
 
Ah... quite a big update this time, see, I have been a little busy lately. I decided that it was pointless having a garage full of zero mile prize cars and I am part way through taking them all out for a spin - so I know which ones are worth driving in future. One thing lead to another and, well, I ended up taking some pictures of them too :D Enjoy...

...I tried this little Autobia-something Abarth first. It was quite a fun drive
GT5b_Autoabarth1.jpg


GT5b_Autoabarth2.jpg


The Toyota Yaris was a little uninspiring though
GT5b_Yaris1.jpg


...and already having a Premium Civic, it felt quite silly to be taking the standard model out for an 'all-Civic race'
GT5b_Civicrace1.jpg


This little Demio was fun around the streets of Tokyo
GT5b_Demio1.jpg


...but not surprisingly, the Vitz was as unispiring as the Yaris ;)
GT5b_GoldVitz1.jpg


GT5b_GoldVitz2.jpg


Oh, in the midst of this I took my Focus out for some fun in The Alpes
GT5b_FocusAlp1.jpg


GT5b_FocusAlp2.jpg


GT5b_FocusAlp3.jpg


GT5b_FocusAlp4.jpg


GT5b_FocusAlp5.jpg


GT5b_FocusAlp6.jpg


After the Focus the Honda Z felt quite tardy...
GT5b_Hondaz1.jpg


...though I suspect it does not have great acceleration anyway
GT5b_Hondaz2.jpg


This "Beast" was almost undrivable
GT5b_Losingcontrol1.jpg


GT5b_Losingcontrol2.jpg


So I jumped in my Nissan Micra (March) Cup car for a little fun
GT5b_MarchCup1.jpg


GT5b_MarchCup2.jpg


...before trying out a Mazda something-or-other at the Top Gear Test Track
GT5b_Mazdathing1.jpg


GT5b_Mazdathing2.jpg


I had quite a lot of fun in the Daihatsu Move
GT5b_Move2.jpg


GT5b_Move1.jpg


It was about this time I decided to take on another A-Spec race. I thought I would stretch them out a little as there are not that many...
GT5b_LupoCup1.jpg


...and I really enjoyed the Lupo cup around Nordschleife
GT5b_LupoCup2.jpg


Ah... the Carousel
GT5b_LupoCup3.jpg


My time was only one full minute slower than my Golf GTi time...
GT5b_LupoCup4.jpg


Back to the car testing - and, well, a standard Prius was sitting in my garage
GT5b_Priuswh1.jpg


I really should have left it there
GT5b_Priuswh2.jpg


...and this thing, well it went straight back into storage too
GT5b_Thingything1.jpg


The NSX was fun though
GT5b_NSX2.jpg


If a little tail-happy
GT5b_NSX1.jpg


GT5b_NSX3.jpg


Oh, I added some colour to my RM Corvette ;)
GT5b_RMVette1.jpg


Then promptly wrote off my Wagon R on Follow-Through
GT5b_WagonR1.jpg


This little Scoobie was a real treat to drive - even though it struggled up the hills of the Eiger
GT5b_Scooby1.jpg


GT5b_Scooby2.jpg


GT5b_Scooby3.jpg


Taking a break from trying out my collection - I bought this Toyota for the 80s Japanese Cup thing
GT5b_ToyGT1.jpg


GT5b_ToyGT2.jpg


And I totally LOVED it
GT5b_ToyGT3.jpg


GT5b_ToyGT4.jpg


Sadly we come to the end of my latest update - with my latest purchase
GT5b_NewFer4.jpg


A new shiny Ferrari - my third one so far
GT5b_NewFer1.jpg


GT5b_NewFer2.jpg


GT5b_NewFer3.jpg


GT5b_NewFer5.jpg


GT5b_NewFer6.jpg


So here endeth the update... more soon I am sure
GT5b_NewFer7.jpg


Hope you liked them and that your broadband isn't fried with the bandwidth :)
 
Wonderful update, I think you are the only one yet who pays attention to Suzuki's and other slow and boring cars :embarrassed: . You make them look interesting, great job !

I LOVE the ZR1, it has such a nice color.
 
Thanks :)

You know... some of those slower cars are not as boring as they look ;)

I know, I have one Mazda Carol 360 Deluxe '62 XD. It is..... pink and I can drift a little bith with it lol. It has a RR-Drivetrain and its fun.
 
All hail the slower cars! You're a girl after my own heart - they are the best fun to be had in the game IMO

And your latest updates are staggering! You can do wonders with those Standards - the A112 and the 360 look great!

And as for the Supra....reminds me a little of KITT in your photos :)
 
I love this latest set! hehe! I guess the Ferrari bug has bitten you seeing as you've bought 3 in such a short time! :D
 
Great update. You're surprisingly bold in your choice of cars :)

"Back to the car testing - and, well, a standard Prius was sitting in my garage.... I really should have left it there" :D:D
