"California Concepts" Ford Mustang and Bently GT

[MidEngine4Life]

So my boss and I took his new ride out to Pebble Beach to do a photo shoot with his car. It didnt stop raining the whole time but I still got some decent shots.

On the way home I saw a Brown Maserati Quattroporte and a Black Bently Continental GT and I was so upset I didnt have my camera ready.......only in California...as we got closer to home I got a second chance with this white Continental GT

Good composition.Thanks for pics.

[TT]

Good pics! Rain didn't ruin them, it actually made them look cooler since it's quite common to see sunny pics from California :D

[stmoritzer]

Nice pictures even in the rain, makes the ground darker :wink:

I like this one very much

the white ContiGTlooks great, very elegant IMO

Thanks for the photos

[MidEngine4Life]

Thanks, Im wondering if any would be worth using for the photo competition

Awesome pictures, they were composed very well. The White GT looks beautiful.

Haha not in Pebble Beach, the Monterey area always has overcast lol But I do agree that the rain did make the pictures look cooler.

^^^^^^^
I Love this one! perfect with the reflection of the 'stang on the wet pavement :drool:
thanks for sharing :)

[No.1]

f-ugly white conti gt :roll:

The 'Stang looks awesome 8)
Its a really good looking car IMO, but it needs the beefing up of the stock wheels and maybe a body kit to get the full muscle-car thing going on

really nice pics of the car too - as TT said, nice to see a few "rainy" pictures from california.

Thanks :good:

[Wutputt]

Great looking photoshoot if you ask me. The rain just made it look better.

White Continental GT is rather dull...
:?
Ford is great and awesome
I only wish I had one :)
both are beautiful (except white) as well as my Peugeot 406!!!
;)

Stunning pictures, the close up from the boot is my favorite.

Unless I take another trip to the Auto Group this month Im thinking this would be a good submission.

thx for the superb pics. The Mustang looks very nice in white with those two blue lines across it!! The thing I don't like are the wheels, to pimp-like. Dark grey wheels would have been cool!

You dont think the B&W version of that pic looks better? Anyway SVAG just got their first V8 Vantage. It says "Sold" on the page but sometimes the car will stay at the dealership for a few days, maybe I can catch it. http://www.siliconvalleyautogroup.com/aston_stock/aston_723/photo_page.html

Well, personally I don't like BW pics, that's why I picked the other, but I swapped it with your choice since I still prefer to use the photographer's fav pic rather than mine ;)

[MidEngine4Life]

Well you did pick one of my favorites ;) Just curious what others think. Oh well, I doubt a Mustang would ever win anything lol. To be totally honest...I hate Mustangs ha ha. Ive driven a fair share of them, they are all terrible along with the styling since 1970...terrible terrible terrible. I only did this to get some brownie points with my boss and have my first photoshoot with a car. Went pretty well id say.

I got some much needed lowering springs for my car once I get those on Ill do a photo shoot with that ;)

Nice pictures! What's the difference about a California Concept?

Do you need any help "lowering" the "springs"? ;)

[MidEngine4Life]

Nice pictures! What's the difference about a California Concept?

Just wheels, a few pieces of bodywork, dual exhaust....42 grand! Rip Off

42k?!?!?!?!? You're telling me that man could have bought a 330i for the price of that P.O.S?? The Mustang isn't even worth 15k! It has a crappy-plasticky interior, shitty ride, and it handles like a boat! :crazyeyes:

[MidEngine4Life]

Exactly....tons of cars out there 10 times as good for less money
