General What car did you sell to buy your 500 and why

Cheating is the only way to get a perfect photo and thats what customers want.

Of course, the customer sees a shot in EVO and wants the same then the only choice is to do as they do and make an image which wasn't there in the first place

Like RobinPJ I guessed wrong too, I thought the camera was attached in a similar way, but to a car in front of the car being photographed, of course thinking practically that's just silly

Luckily Single so no need to buy furniture, I have a chair and cupboard. Funily enough the Junior is the only car in the entire Family we have a roofrack for as it has guttering as did most old cars and means my Dads 1970's rack that he had for his various fords should still fit, should be easy to get things on, as for washing purposes I can clean entire roof without walking to other side of car (car is lower than a TT)

It is amazing how much taller cars have become Our Subaru is only about 15mm taller than your Alfa and the 500 is a full 15cm taller!

How long did it take:

(i) to set up the shot (putting the bits and pieces together);
(ii) to take the pictures (assuming you took a lot more than 1!); and
(iii) to fiddle with them afterwards?

No very very very wrong.
The car is going 2mph it is a 6 sec exposure at 10mm with 2x nd8 filters

0/10...sorry

It just goes to show you that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing .

Only if your Subaru has been lower by 2 inches too

1336mm for the Subaru as opposed to about 1320-1310 for the Alfa depending on what site you look at

If you look at the BJ estate which has extended roof then you'd be right

I'm right because my alfa has been lowered by 2 inches

Well Arorat - I was very impressed with your knowledge of photography. The difference between a well informed (and in your case knowledgeable) amateur is that a professional like GUI make it sound sooooooo easy .

 

[RUI]

Who is this gui? is he any good?

 

[Venters]

I heard he is good at making computers easier to use.

Anyway, back on topic......

Via the scrappage scheme I got £2k for my 1991 Vauxhall Cavalier 1.6l auto. Had it for 11 years, it had done just over 100k miles and never ever let me down. It would do 40mpg on a run and the most it ever cost me to get through an MOT was about £70. The last few years of its life it needed some welding for the test but having a mate who welds for a living was handy.

I have every intention of keeping the 500 for as long, longer if it lasts.

I sold my 2006 Porsche Boxster S for a 2009 1.2 POP.

I commute 4 miles to a train station and couldnt justify the cost.

Loving the 500 thou !

My brother-in-law has the Boxster S with all the goodies and my wife's sister was looking for him to change it to a 500 after she sold her Ka. They're living in the congestion zone in London but are exempt on the charge and sensible that she is - she wants 'them' to have only one car. He's holding his own at the moment ! Did you do a straight swop ?

I think you might have pipped RUI on his TT.
