Cheers for the kind words gents.
The shoot last night went rather well - until there was a noise complaint. Regardless the video will be edited and up soonish.
Here's an ungraded screen grab from the rushes
One of the best parts to the engine is the torque. Last night I had the cam operator in the car who is a big bloke - the car seemed unfazed by the extra weight.
On a downer at the traffic light a complete blind git bumped into me at 1mph. There's a slight crease in the paint - I'm hoping the detail will eliminate the superficial scuff. The guy didn't even apologise, was rude - still amazes me how this world is plagued with people who lack simple common courtesy and never take responsibility.
Cheers mate, what's the diagnosis from 9M? How you holding up?
Looks good. Interested in what you shoot...
I'm an art director myself, and car photographer Joe Windsor-Williams wants to film my ex-Magnus Walker 911 SWB in the summer... Having my car on film is such a cool thought, so I know how you feel.
Car looks like you like to take it on track? We have a private track day at Silverstone on May 6th if you are interested. I'm talking my Spyder, but we have GT3 RS, GT3's and standard C2S P cars taking part - you'd be welcome to join us. DM me if interested.
I look forward to updates on your detailing and film updates.

Cheers mate. PS. Love the new wheels
Your car looks stunning! ...I'm sure it sounds stunning too?
You must be beside yourself right now, it's been a loooong time without Betty.
How is the engine break-in going? Even under a light-footed throttle I bet it feels mega!
Looking forward to your future adventures with Betty.
This is going to be good!

Will be going back to the same location to shoot some final detail shots for the video on Thursday eve. The video will be finished 15th/16th...
If anyone fancies hanging about a graffiti stricken tunnel at night to keep us company you'd be more than welcome to.
Cheers guys

That shot is building the excitement nicely basically can't wait to see the finished item Frank 
Sorry to hear about the scrape you are obviously more controlled than I and yes sadly basic manners seem absent in so many people, shame really.

Subscribed for sure. Canny wait.
I was on your site today and was going to ask a quick question about the paint protection film, I had it on my lotus exige and it was good but I wasn't so much of a car cleaning buff then, can you wax it like normal paint?
Just interested to hear your thoughts.

Yes you wax it as you would normal paint. No polish though. The importance is to always use PH neutral products. Stay away from AutoGlym. Zymol is a great slimy body wash that works great.
Paint Shield is the only UK company that does not cut on car and has a 4 year warranty. No affiliation.
Cheers,

Dropped her off with Topaz Detailing this morning - back in 2 days. They'll take pics for us.
Cheers mate. Wish you were help with pics.
Cheers mate. I've wondered whether clicking red when in doubt to navigate would work.
Cheers mate
Going to use some thriller/ suspense/ dub inspired/ choir music. Hopefully it'll work.
