Yup an NB8A doesn't look much sexier than that!

You're soft Stefan. The 50mm f/1.8 is my primary lens.

You just can't beat it for sharpness and bokeh.

There's a 35mm f/1.8 coming out that's rumoured to be at the same price point. w00t!

Anyway, very nice photos there. Great car as well!

No I'm not, sometimes you need wide-angle and if I'm taking one lens travelling I'll take the 18-200. Your certainly can't beat the 50 for sharpest and bokeh.

You should have just bought it, was so cheap. Heck I should have just bought it. oH well, Begi's better than avo.
At least I got the coilovers

Richard: Andy told me you want to do another shoot on sunday but in the day. We'll see.

Wonder if Richard convinced me that the coilovers were "too stiff for street, and too soft for track" so he could sell them to you?

Nar, the tien spring rates are too high for such a light car on the street IMO anyway.

He told me the same thing. They are a bit stiff, but the ones that were on his car weren't much softer. I just wanted flex to retain bump travel when I lower it, otherwise superstreets are probably best bet.

Well, I drove this car back from Melbourne to Hobart on the weekend. Car certainly is a testament to Rick - very well sorted, a pleasure to drive

.

I live in exactly the right place for this car, 5-10 minutes from some lovely mountain roads...
