That orange 206 is so fricking low at the front!

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ncFCScar19.jpg
COOL :cool:

As per expected, stunning pics lol



On pics like thiss:
http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ncFCScar14.jpg

How are you throwing the background out of focus(small field of depth), using a wide aperture/low f number, or manually focusing???
Tried a few shots like that on my cam, but just cant get the hang of it.

Yup, very small DOF, manual focussing aswell.

That was shot at 300mm @ f/2.8, 1/800sec

Nice piccys as always. I like French cars, I own one, but some of those things were the automotive version of the Adams Family!

I missed FCS this year :( well gutted. Oh well . . .Sob SOb SOB.

What in Gods name is going on with that 406! Thats absolutely shocking!

Some nice cars there, a lot of nastiness as well. Same as PVS I guess though! I do like how the jap drifters gatecrashed it :D

No sunbeams! :(

Out of interest, what kit do you use Olly?

Nikon D2x body
Nikkor 300mm f/2.8mm
Nikkor 50mm f/1.4mm
Nikkor 12-24 f3.5mm

LOL i was thinking you went to france, but then it slowly became aware, renualts, pugs,citreons, english number plates lmao me = fail!

I didn't think anybody off here would be going to FCS, would have met up and said hello if I had known you were going! Great pics though, I'll pass on a track car pic you took to the owner if that's okay :thumb:

Spot on pics as usual Olly.

Ditto Jacks comments on the 406 coupe & the Xsara. WTF is going on with the cardboard body kits? Yeuch!!

Liking the Black R5 GTT though, nice.

Awesome photos olly.twas a good day at rockingham although i was disappointed witht he driftworx show after the one binned it!

Awesome turd polishing going on there lol.

Great pics Olz, as per!

The arch clearances on that Goldie 206 on Schmidt rims is comical.

I hope the tyres get sliced up in no time! LOL

Surely that can't be safe??? a compressed gas bottle in an engine bay!!!!

Thanks for all the comments, it's a shame I don't know of any french car forums else I'd link them to this thread...

I know of ClioSport, thats about it though.

I personally LOVED the arch flair on the orange car, obviously on airbags and very low, but I think it looks great! lol

I'm glad you posted the detail about the airbags. Anyone naive enough to roll around in a car that low deserves bad luck, pushing the boundaries or not......

I'm just an old fool thats into performance & shuns the show type stuff... lol

Thank god I'm not the only one lol

Not too impressed with FCS this year, too much chav not enough track - although there was a heard of throttle bodied 205/309 MI16'/GTI6's that saved the day. Best car of the show imo was the white dimma kitted 106 with full cossie 4x4 conversion. Think it left before Olz arrived so no pics :(.

Don't think I'll be going next year......unless mine is ready (sniggers heard from trackdaynova's direction) :p

Cheers for the Pics Olz - top job (although I think one or two of them are mine :thumb:)

Yup - I know which one is yours lol

I expect yours to be ready by Friday 18th July, for our Donington track-evening, let alone this time next year! lol

Erm.....my Pug is currently sat in the garage waiting the 'Olz' special treatment. I blame him for giving me the bug while helping out on the Nova - so it's only right I trounce him on track :D.

Currently a 1.6 but I'll run that till it either lets go (113K miles :eek:) or I can afford either a MI16, GTI6 or something a bit newer - GTI 180. Needs something big to compete with a Redtop!

Wish I had Olz commitment to getting the job done - I just need the occasional kick in the ass :thumb:

its good to see pics from fcs. i didn't take my car this year as i wasn't that impressed last year.

lol saves money on a bottle warmer but its not what I would class as a good idea as if it just get to hot it will explode (unless its a WON one as they have a safety valve, but still will empty the whole bottle.)
