Nice to see another Blueprint owner....To be controversial, I would think that Blueprint is the most popular colour (sorry team HgAg & Ken). Perhaps time for another color survey....hehe - show which color is King.Enjoy your new car....you'll have plenty of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkofoed Member 90 Member For: 21y 10m 21d Posted 11/09/03 05:04 AM Author Share Posted 11/09/03 05:04 AM I plan on retaking the shot with a 4 meg digi cam (and a little more light)- I didn't have a tripod for the first one and took three goes to get it blur-free. (Full Manual mode, 1 second exposure time, no flash)The headlights from the other cars adds to it a bit I reckon - and no trace of the vehicles (nice feature of long-exposure photography)Melbournites will recognize it was taken on St Kilda rd near the barracks, all around there has the tree lighting, so I'll be looking for another spot on the w/end...BKPS: No comments on the plate?

Guest Darey Guests Posted 11/09/03 05:55 AM Share Posted 11/09/03 05:55 AM bkofoed,That is a bloody nice mood shot of an excellent ride, made even better by the correct choice of colour. :lol: I have had my "Blueprint" XRT for about 3 weeks and it just keeps getting better. I'm averaging 14 L/ 100Km since I got it and I have just clocked up 3000Km. I'm stoked.Welcome to the XRT Team.CheersDarey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad to see another new baby on the streets, no matter what the colour. Treat her well, and she'll repay you with endless hours of enjoyment. I know it's been said before, but I now know it to be true, but they do seem to get better and better as they mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
