When you try and take a photo of a 1M

NPVPositive · 06-18-2011, 02:28 AM

Thought I'd finally establish proof of life today. Light wasn't great but I was trying for a shot along these lines:

The problem was, thanks to the paparazzi, the shots kept coming out like this!!

Not just one, but two guys actually stopped their cars, got out, and asked if they could also take photos of my car!! They both turned out to be nice people. The guy above using his iPhone to take photos was driving a vintage Porsche and was so excited about seeing a 1M in the wild that I came very close to letting him take it for a spin.

As this forum shows each day, the community of car nuts is a good one!

Gahh North Sydney. Not much chance of spotting you about then.

It had its first wash this morning! I'm too busy (lazy) to wash it regularly, but I thought I should at least do the first one.

Stuart@BMRAutowerkes · 06-18-2011, 04:10 AM

Ascari · 06-20-2011, 05:26 AM

Thanks. Look forward to seeing you in Military Road traffic!

Yes, BMW Sydney. They were very good to deal with, so no complaints.

Ascari · 06-22-2011, 06:46 PM

Hey NPV - can you take a shot from the front? I'm curious to see how BMW Sydney affix the plates to the front - still tossing up which plates to get on mine - mucho gratias

Jeef Beef · 06-23-2011, 12:25 AM

I can fairly say that the 1M is a lot more eye catching than the 135i.

Looks damn good in AW!

130iguy · 06-23-2011, 04:11 AM

funny looking bus

mra · 06-23-2011, 05:15 AM

Bah... 1M so close to my place and I didn't even see it. You should let us all know next time you're doing a photo shoot

Travelling for a couple of days Ascari, but will try and post a front photo when I'm back on the weekend.

Ascari · 06-23-2011, 04:29 PM

Brilliant. Thanks. By the way, I'm pretty sure my avatar is a shot of your car I took at BMW Sydney

(don't worry, I didn't even touch it let alone sit in it: respect

gazz · 06-24-2011, 04:34 AM

Well the Lower North Shore may be the natural environment for some but for others -

MrBlonde · 06-24-2011, 04:42 AM

Sorry Gazz the harbour bridge trumps!

TimMc · 06-24-2011, 04:52 AM

Have to disagree. Gazz, that sight gives me the horn.
