Well, I gave the car a quick rinse down this morning, and as the sun was shining I thought I'd take my replacement camera out for a little shoot. Tried to get myself as close to the sea as possible. Once I almost had the chance to back into it! Anyway - here's some pics. It's about time some fresh mongrel shots were done to be honest. This is about a dozen of the ones I took, so follow the album link for the rest. Things of note: 1) yes, the two offside doors are different colour. No idea why - soon be sorted. 2) Yes my nearside front has been scratched, replacement sourced. 3) That black round thing is my lpg filler. 4) The "diesel" and "AV IT!" will not be on by the end of the day. I plan to remove them when I de-tar spot later.

Smugglers Inn carpark on Dawlish - Teignmouth Road

Teignmouth seafront carpark - looking west

Teignmouth seafront carpark - looking south

Teignmouth seafront carpark - a bit further along.

Penny quay / slipway. No-one using it for boats so I stuck the mongrel on there.

In the village of Shaldon, just over the river from Teignmouth. I found a bugger narrow road by the river's edge.

The climb out of Shaldon. Time to stop on the narrow one way bit to snap a shot

What is it you're covering with white blocks? :confused:

Nice pics Jase! Didn't you used to have mesh in the front grille, or did I miss that thread? :rofl:

ding ding ding - we have a winner. A legally sized front plate too.

The mesh is now black, Chris. Has been for some time. Looks a bit more subtle. Actually, it needs touching up as I noticed it's starting to come away from the stainless mesh in places. Nothing a bit of hammerite won't sort.

Much to do to the mongrel yet. Eventually, she'll be 100% how I want her. I even spotted some light blue paint chips on the door - Looks like someone dinged me in a car-park. Bovvered? nah - will probably get sprayed over soon anyway.

Nice pics!

But do us a favour Jason & take those silly badges of the boot lid! :thumbdwn:

See first post

Actually, they're still there now. It's become an "in the morning" job.

those nice stone faced walls in that norrow road are perfect for 're-conditioning' your alloys.....

nice pics

Were you holding the camera upside down (-:

Good pics - shame there was a car in the way !

That grille looks like it's going to devour someone.

Love that one

Did you steal that badge from a Merc?

some of those pics are deffo better than what you submitted for the calendar last year

I know. I selected crap ones as I didn't really want the mongrel featured in the 07 one - '08 might be a different matter.

Dave - I was doing some camera to ground style shots - but it really struggles to catch the focus on the car and background, and really focuses on the foreground stuff that I was just trying to bring in for effect. It's a cheap digital camera that I got for

Look half decent Jase.

My main dislike is the chrome handle covers - get em sprayed silver to match!

though, getting there!!

Oh, and raise the back up a tad to match the front too... jmho...

Yeah - it is a little too low. Should have seen it at IOW meet 2007.... Had back seats and two people in the back. was reeeeeeally low. All being well I will get new suspension. Plus I might rip my back seats out again tomorrow which will raise it a bit.

Superb mate,have you been round the nurbergring per chance??

Yup. Had a great long weekend with a Briskoda arranged trip last August. What a brilliant circuit!
