Well I found some time to take a few pics of my new WRX - the location is about an hour south of where I live (i.e. my parents place). :wink:

I'm having such a blast with it so far, and basically looking for excuses to drive it. :D

All 18 high-res pics can be viewed on my website :arrow: www.ozcarsightings.com

On the driveway in the rain....

Lookin Good Dude! I like the action shot, im still trying to learn how to take those types of photos, can never get the clear focus on the car, are you using a mini tripod for that shot?

Car looks good, I always look for excuses to drive as well, hahahaha, always puts a grin on your face when you punch it. :P

No I didn't use a tripod.

I just set the shutter speed to 1/80 (or maybe 1/100, can't remember) and then panned (follow the car with the camera) the camera and take the shot.

I had problems with it at first too (and still do sometimes), but I just stood on the side of the road somewhere and practiced. :D

Red is certainly the best colour for this car, IMO.

I like white as well, for the STi.

Great pics dude, I especially like the photoshop one of the engine transposed onto the picture

I don't suppose you would be interested in doing one of the S2000 if I sent you some pics to work with? :mrgreen:

Or, if you can't be arsed, let me know how you did it and I will have a go myself

Cheers

Sorry but personnaly I don't think that red is the best color, but it remains a Sub'... and that is cool 8)

Thanks very much for these pics and congratulation for your photoshop which is very well made...

Great pictures ! I like Subarus and red cars, thus it's easy for me to like Dingo's car. :P

OMG, I didn't knew you bought a new car!! (I'm still recovering from 6 days without JW, and I've not yet reached the What you drive section ;)) So not an Elise after all? You don't see those Scoobies often in red, but it looks good on it!

May favourite pic is the firts one, with all the rain droplets over it. Though I like the detailed pics as well. And judging from the puddle of water in the following pic, your "performance" was staggering today! :shock:

To tell you the truth - I don't know. I'm pretty new to WRX's so I'm not totally informed on all the models differences etc. :)

dingo, the WRX does llok good in nice in red.

It actually wears red better than the EVO does - and red is sposedto be it's colour.

It always seems that many times a sponsors colour becomes the "expected colour" of many cars, which sadly skews everyone's idea of what "the porper colour" for a particular car is.

Nice ride man :)

Definitely, everybody will look your car when attending a Scooby meet :P (have you joined or do you plan to join any Subaru club BTW? :wink: )

I have thought about it, but probably not yet.

There is a member here (enigmatic, hardly posts though) who is a member of the Perth WRX Club, so I'll get all the info of him when I need it. :D
