There's a couple of more in the gallery.
The lighting made getting shots of the cars without hot-spots impossible.

I saw so many cars today I can't be sure who's is who's. But it appears you are correct.

The person in rabbit suit was a real ham. It was standing up by the 'car' but when it saw my camera it indicated for me to wait and preceeded to recline infront. :)

Some great car shots Daniel, I think that's the ugliest Aston Martin I've seen, still good looking by normal standards, but I don't like the fin/line down the doors.

Hi Dug,
I think that should be ok. Go ahead.

I think the line down the doors is a small blemish, on what is a very nice car. 8)
There were some other "sports cars" that had some strange little foils in odd places, which just made them look silly.

Wow, love that Subie shot. The perspective makes it look really mean!

Cheers

Thank you all.

The WRX always stands out. Still, I probably should have pushed the bonnet shut... :wink:

There was quite a lot of people around, some of whom seem blind to others pointing cameras... :evil:
But using a 10-20mm helps to get close enough so people can't walk in front. :)

Sorry - you can't use "ugliest" and "Aston Martin" in the same sentence. It's just wrong. :wink:

Great shots!

Fair call Simon - Shall I rephrase and say, the "least appealing model of Aston Martin" I've seen. Ugly was probably too strong a word ;-)
