Lots of very cool pics, loads of places I know too :cool:

Love the Elan Valley set.

Good work.

p.s. are you planning to mate your car with the black one & have a litter of tiny grey 500s??

Actually try Adobe Lightroom.. They have a beta out that is free until they release the full product.. I've been using it for a few weeks now and you get awesome results.. Google 'Lightroom 3 beta' first link...

Well here are a few i did yesterday at Bala lake, which gave me an idea. Part of the car park drifts gently into the lake, i drove around 50 ft in and it only gets around 3 to 4 inches deep for a long way! I thought it would make an awesome picture if i drove in, got out and took some photos of my car in the middle of the lake! Next time, it's a must! (y)

Yet again never failing to surprise, great pictures again. That lake is beautiful... very nice scenery. I love the long picture :) Don't know the "photographic" name for it, but non the less GREAT! :rolleyes:
 
Re: Draigflag's ABARTH 500 (new thread!)

Here are some i did tonight, there's just no stopping me! With the arrival of the 126 BIS, I've been slightly distracted, Abi has not been washed for a while so please excuse the black wheels and fly stubble!

Hope you like 'em! (y)

EDIT: Almost forgot, if there are any Dolphin spotters/fans out there, you will see plenty around this time of year here in Wales. I saw some last year in the bay where i took these pics, that's what reminded me! Occasionaly you get them jumping right out the water! Fantastic creatures :)

It's actually much worse now, i took advantage of the World cup (whatever that is, Football!?) and had a "blast" on our near empty roads! Usually flocking with tourists, must have all been down the pub! :D

Mine's appalling atm. 260+ miles in two days has plastered it in flies!
 
Re: Draigflag's ABARTH 500 (new thread!)

every thought about having the checkered roof? I love the red and white checks on the white car. Mine will be having them when i get it.
 
Re: Draigflag's ABARTH 500 (new thread!)

I like stickers, but i'm not overly keen on a busy roof (y)

I think it looks ace me :) ah well wouldn't do for us all to like the same. I will be putting them green and red stripes on mine when i get one if i get a white one that is.

Whats the reliability like mate? We all know Fiats aren't great at that, and my current Fiat (Stilo) has been very unreliable.

I had quite a few faults with mine actually, new gearbox, paint fault, in fact on 2 occasions i considered selling the car. But it's the only car i want so i stuck with it and I'm glad i did. On saying this, i know other owners who drive theirs much harder than i do, regular track users and the like, and they've had no issues at all. Obviously it's not a problem if you live close to a dealer as everything is fixed under warranty for 3 years. Mine is a 240 mile round trip, for some it's a 400! :eek:

I hate this thread. This stupid, useless thread is imploring me to go and get a test drive in an Abarth. Bad, Bad, Bad thread! :p

:devil: Haha i'm sorry i like sharing so much! Just to let you know, this is the car i've had for the longest time and done the most miles in, says a lot really!
 
Re: Draigflag's ABARTH 500 (new thread!)

I just don't know about it all tbh.... Love the 500 to pieces. I'm unsure what trade in the 500 would get, and I note the Abarth has crept up in price. Sat in 22k's worth of audi in the local dealer and preferred the 500. But would I be (more) happy with an Abarth than my current one?
