    I like the technical way of these photos.. What i don´t like is the environment they are placed at. I think that a car belongs on the streets and the streets only.

    Keep it up and do you happen to have som info about this car? any mods etc?

    Thanx for sharing

    Yeah, in my experience, car's never should be photographed on grass unless they're trucks or off-road vehicles... grass is sooo unnatural.

    That's a Vauxhall right? Aka, the Pontiac G8. :P Platform sharing is so sad... at least Vauxhall does it better than Pontiac does.

    thanks for the replies.. as for the grass shots yeah for some reason myself and my mates have liked them as it makes the car appear lower than it really is...

    the car in question is a VZ Holden Calais (Australia version), runs the new V6 engine. Alloytech 190 matched up to a 5speed Automatic gear boxes.. at the moment its pretty standard but plans are to stroke it out to 4.2L capactiy as it is a 3.6L at the moment and then fit a postive displacement charger rating at either 2.3L or the big 3.3L which should up the power big time..

    thanks again

    Really nice car. I like the color of the car. After the mods with the charger, I am sure it is going to haul some serious spped down the road.

    thanks he doesnt like being on camera haha so i kinda of just stood behind him and called his name and got the pic clap.gif

    they run 225/35 R20. same tyres that are on my car also. very low profile but the only way they will fit unless u put a coilover front end in which is very expensive...
