Our Kids Are 2 Plus Years Old Now

Here are our cars now. Much different than when we first got them. Actually they are all stock except for graphics, wheels and tires. My wife's car is Dotty and mine is Fulburt. Fulburt is being sold to make room for the new Cooper Coupe.

Dang can't seem to get the pictures full size. (What am I doing wrong?) You can see them in my gallery if you so desire.

I have my webspokes for daily driving duty. These will only be thrown on at the track and then removed for the drive home. I wasn't worried about looks as you can tell from my last auto cross

Clarkson up at Peaks of Otter a few weeks ago.



And sadly, Clarkson Monday night. The roads here in Hampton Roads are pretty much designed to keep drivetrain alignment shops in business. I hadn't checked it in too long and didn't realize that I was doing 10k miles worth of wear on the inside edges of my front tires in a matter of months. Nevertheless, it's been a good excuse to dump the runflats for some Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. I'll change out the rear tires later this fall for the same.

Hauling **** around the sweet, sweet country roads of western VA didn't help either

Was bored today so I drove around looking for new photoshoot locations; found two!

Here is a shot from the first location I found.

Here's a shot from the second location I found; I prefer this spot over the first one I found.

I used a Sigma 10-20mm lens with a Nikon D3000 for these photos.

I asked cause it almost looks like the photos have some fisheye effect to them. Are they natural or photoshopped?

(I can ask that right? LOL)

lol. They are "natural" with some minor (and I mean MINOR) editing in Adobe Lightroom. They have that "almost a fisheye" effect because that's exactly what this lens is...ALMOST a fisheye.

Really cool. I like them a lot. That's a nice camera. I have an old Nikon D70 that is still kicking. My car and plane habits don't allow me to get a new camera yet. Maybe next year.

Great photos you have some talent for the view!!
