Some nice cars in there and nice space around them, too bad for the lack of light (and tripod ) .. I fear all of them are blurry

And with a good camera a tripod is even more mandatory so I hope you can put aside the 20 extra dollars needed

No seriously, I know I always keep hassling ppl for blurry pics and such, but I just think it is a pity to see a rare car and come back with just "bad" pics.. it's so nice to look back at rare cars you saw months or years earlier and to do so, good pics help a bit

Don't think a good camera solve every problem A good camera basically shows your "problems" even more because when you take a bad pic with an average/crappy camera, ppl can still think it is mostly up to the camera, while, when I see a crappy pic taken with a 300 or 350D, I want to cry

BTW, do you plan to buy also an extra lense? Or not? If not I am looking forward to read if the standard one can be enough (but I seriously doubt).

that was my reaction! I was like no fucking way as I drove past it I almost went into the other lane.

And TT I have a tripod already for my dads old camera so that wont be a problem but I plan on getting a unipod aswell. Iplan on using the normal lens for about a month or so until I have more cash for a better lense but I will be getting a polarizer immediately which one do you have?

As for the polarizer I got the only one I could find easily around here and of course I can't remember the brand, but it's a generalistic (does the term even exist?) one. Any circuilar polarizer will do

I think the term is "generic" - if thats what you meant.

Anyway, my filter is a Hoya and so is Darkels - I would say they are the most common.

^^^
Mine is a B&W Though my other filter is a Hoya one too.

Really amazing to see Spyker outside a Motorshow outside The Netherlands
A nice collection of DB9's and F40's. Was the 288 GTO a real one?
