]FIRST NIGHT SHOTS

Went out last night to try my hand and night shots which on previous occasions i have failed badly at doing. was using a longer exposer than i am used to so it was my first attempts at this...

this image shows the stance of the sportlines alot better than my iphone pic.

these were taken on the bridge that crosses the river dee. this was once the only bridge to cross the dee but it was deemed unsafe for cars after so long. they recently added all the lights - looks spot on. i am not of age to remember cars being able to use this bridge.

just a nicely lit building

Just noticed that the quality of the pics is really poor due to the camera being on the wrong setting. Really annoyed with that.

Haha, yes I did come up to Crail last year with DPJ. About a 10hr round trip

Yer, the Caliper Clips turned out well, their just R32 Clips and I repainted, branded them then Laquered over them.

Just need to get the Rear spoiler fitted onto mine when I get it back from the painters.

Not sure if I'll be up this year, spoke to Dave at Motoscope a little about it never say never though eh?

Yer, I love the wheels, way lighter than stock rims. I just got four rims off the net for £500, then put my std tyres onto keep costs down

 

[Mr_Dave]

Cars both look awesome, liking the galia on the Cupra!
Out of interest, are both cars yours, as in, you're the prime user of them? If so do you still find yourself actually driving both of them? Only ask as I've got these visions going through my head of getting a mk5 beeza Cupra as a second car, but dunno whether it'd become a little redundant

They are both used but to be honest the Leon is lucky if it has done a thousand miles since the newyear. The Ibiza is used everyday as my fiancé and myself work close to each other but the Leon is my spare second but better car than the Ibiza If that makes sense... Haha

Both in turn are used but mire the Ibiza as it's cheaper to run

 

[Mr_Dave]

Awesome, might be giving me a few ideas back, do want haha! Think that's how I could see mine going if I got one.. Cheers

Drove this Ibiza last night. To say I was impressed was an understatement. I was giggling like splitarse.

I have never ever driven a car that I underestimated as much as I underestimated the Ibiza Cupra.

Dav had said to me that the Ibiza would leave the Leon off the mark and around the town. I said bullshit. Turns out Dav was right.

My 261bhp 2011 Leon Cupra would get toasted by its wee brother, a 2011 Ibiza Cupra around town. I would even go as far as to say the old 360+bhp MK2 LC would get minced around town by this wee thing too.

Instant punch from low revs and the balls to keep going to the red line, uber quick gear changes, no traction issues and less weight. The only time I could see the LC get the better of the Ibiza is after 60-70mph.
