Hey CJ, I was hoping to ask you about that, I really would like to include the club in the credits if you don't mind? They are cool with it anyway.

Ye guys have been nothing but supportive, welcoming and most of all friends. I would be honoured to.

cheers Mark! just emailed CJ. I know Laura is already doing it, but if they need to photo a white one too (might be easier to digitize), I'd be available also. stock gpvr apart from exhaust tail pipe.

Photoshoot next week!! Woohoo!

5 hours though

by **Bernard** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:00 pm

Be sure and ask them for a copy of the pics... the 2010 calendar isn't that far away.

by **optical illusion** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:31 pm

Way ahead of you! :wink:

Wouldn't something like this do?

by **optical illusion** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:47 pm

Not high res enough I don't think, the other pics I entered were with the same camera that took that.

by **mark** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 7:47 pm

yeah would be brill if it was for, 'the midgets guide to modification' :wink:

5 hours! That's a serious shoot? I know photographers who spend less time at weddings... Your car will love that sort of attention

by **optical illusion** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 10:59 pm

Oh I'm sure it will, all I need is for it to start getting a big, erm, bumper? Won't be able to fit it through gates anymore

Just to let you know guys you're quite welcome to speculate between yourselves but I've signed a non disclosure agreement that doesn't allow me to talk about the title of the game. Understandable too of course.

PS - Do you like my new profile location :lol:

by **mark** » Wed Jan 21, 2009 11:11 pm

I know people who take 2 days to photograph a pint of Guinness!
McGon, most weddings take a few hours and then 4 weeks work afterwards :wink:

That sounds pretty cool Laura. Have they asked you to get the car polished up before hand, or are they offering you any help (financially) toward that?
Was thinking about it at the weekend - and I'm not trying to guess the title of the game - but IIRC, in Forza 2 on the xbox, the only FTO you can get is the GPvR, so maybe this would be one of the reasons they were so adamant on getting one for the photoshoot as opposed to the GPX or other?

by **optical illusion** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 6:02 pm

No they asked nothing of me only dry weather.

Didn't even want the car washed and it's stink at the moment!! I'm going cleaning it anyway though. Annual leave is great

Is the GPvR in forza 2?? Jaysus!! I never knew that, damn!!! Apparently the GPX is in some other game they have as well, so ye had your time in the spotlight too!!

by **optical illusion** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 6:10 pm

Rarity 4.1 - The Cheek!! Look at this cool piccie, really never knew the gpvr was in it....

by **Bernard** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 6:51 pm

It's in the first 4 Gran Turismos too, not sure about the latest one.

by **Dragonheart** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 7:11 pm

Also in GT3 and 2, prob 1 as well. Has all the FTO models in 4, from the GS to the GPX and GPvR.

For 10 bonus points, Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this picture?

by **Bernard** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:25 pm

The exhaust tips don't look right and the blade on the spoiler looks to be at an angle??

Could be the skirts too.

by **colm_mcm** » Thu Jan 22, 2009 8:27 pm

yup. that's exactly what I was thinking, apart from the spoiler.

Should either have an Aero Series sticker or no side skirts.
