So, im wondering if anyone knows any good spots for taking some photos of my car?

and I mean public areas that have nice scenery in the background and such; not somewhere like my driveway, which is crappy.

So far I've been to Stromlo, since i live near there. Its pretty nice

so, suggestions...

I have got lots of places in mind. I haven't had the chance to take photos yet tho.

- Alleys or against walls with graffiti. There are a few around.

- Government house

- ANU

- Various schools

- Scrivener dam

- Roads here and there, depending on what colour your car is.

Assuming they're still out there the older hangers at Fairbarin were a good spot to take photos a few years ago. Another spot is down near Questacon or even on the lake side itself along that one way road who's name escapes me.

Also depends on what kinda of image you want to have with your car? Are you going for the JDM Jap look, the street cred/ricer-boi look (where graffiti walls would be good) or for a classier look (where Govt House/Boat shed would be good.) Taking a picture isn't always as simple as point-click.

I took some pics of mine in a hangar where I work, PM me and I might be able to arrange for 1 or 2 people to drive in take some pics and go. It is dependant on the people who are in charge on the day but can be arranged.

hhmmm... I've been in there before! Would be really cool to have the BBJ or Challenger in the background :whistling:

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
