Knuckles had been dropping hints for a while that he wanted some snaps of his car so last Saturday at Oulton I took the opportunity to grab these. Scott's Clio 197 R27 - 1 by AdrianFRST, on Flickr Scott's Clio 197 R27 - 3 by AdrianFRST, on Flickr Scott's Clio 197 R27 - 4 by...

Well, the best car I've ever had (prior to yesterday) is up for sale because I've just bought the best car I've ever had. Only done 80 miles or so in it but here are some first thoughts: It feels bigger, but not as big as I'd feared. Can throw it about a bit but not as much as the...

Spent most of Saturday on the car and by the time I was done it was dark and cold so took photos in the garage with some new lighting gear: Normally they do interior shots like this in a studio to get the light, but you can DIY it with a couple of flashes and a white sheet...

Seemed like an appropriate location! Sunrise takes a while this time of year, so moved on and got these too:

Following on from my Autumn thread, on the way home I stopped off at a location I'd got some nice shots at before. Just the right time of day when the light was perfect. My apologies if you're sick of seeing this car. I'll shoot someone else's soon!

I love this time of year for taking photos:

I took over 1500 photos so will post the Clio ones when I've sorted them!

The last one he hasn't stopped - I used a faster shutter to freeze the car so the image was sharper!

Here's the original photo straight out of the camera: Not bad, but we can improve it. Let's clean up the ground, loose the lamp posts and building, then do some colour correction to make it pop a little. Finally a nice widescreen 16:9 crop:

My brother's LY 197 given a bit of a clean then off to a local industrial estate for a shoot (just as the sun went in, doh!)

Picked up a new camera last weekend. Took these on Tuesday. Managed to get a couple of shots in the sun, then it clouded over again...

Lovely evening tonight so took advantage of the light to get some pics up in the hills. Unfortunately my camera isn't the greatest with low light (even with tripod and timer to avoid shake) but these four came out ok: In this situation you can either throw money at new...

Paid £350 to insure my 200 last year, renewal notice from eSure was £730... Did some shopping around and applied a few tricks and got it down to £186, which I'm pretty happy with! I'm 34, driving 15 years, 10yrs NCB, clean licence, no accidents and car is standard (with optional extras)...

Nice car, nice house!

After a two day detailing session on my brother's 197 we took my already clean 200 and got some photos down a local lane. I took over 100 and you can see the rest here: http://www.cliomods.com/gallery/groups/4/clio-lane/

A couple of months ago myself and my brother spent a weekend detailing his 197 R27. We got a bit engrossed and forgot to take all the progress shots but there's plenty of "afters" which is what matters. The stages were as follows Foam with Megs Hyper Wash 2bm with Megs Hyper Wash Door...

I know a lot of people aren't too keen on the front of the 200, I'm one of them but as far as I know, the only one to do something about it! Enter, stage left, one 197 bumper from eBay: Confirmed so far 197 and 200 wings and bonnet are identical - I've seen some reports that these...
