Machinery Having a Go at My New Car

Having a Go at My New Car · **1 Like**

Over the last decade, I've adopted something of a ritual: I take a new car (after a few weeks of ownership) somewhere other than my driveway to make what I think of as the car's "official" photos. I always try to think of new ways to "see" the car, but with decidedly mixed results. Here are some shots I took late this afternoon at Brazosport College - about a 10 minute drive from my house.

BTW, for those that want to see some truly marvelous car pics, check out digitalCG's contributions to the Gearheads Unite! thread in General Talk.

She is a thing of beauty Jer but you already knew that.

Super shots of a great car. Looking at your thread title, I think I would like to be having a go at your new car!

Hey, I appreciate the nice words. And it is fun to drive - a mid engine car feels like no other.

What a cool idea! And what a beautiful Boxster. I'm damn jealous, and so is my Mazda 3.....

Very nice car and photos...

How do you carry a canoe on that? ANd where do you put your big huge packs full of tents and sleeping bags and stuff? We need the low down on the good stuff.

Hey thanks, Steve. No need to be jealous - I'm a big Mazda fan, having owned six of 'em (including 3 Miatas) over the years.

Thanks, Norm - unfortunately, a canoe is out the of the question; I've got a sailboat docked in Kemah and that's all the boat I can afford.
