They are ok, but I find many of them are a bit too tight to the edges.

I think if they're taken just cruising round dealerships - very good job!

Regardless of quality of the pics - subject matter was pretty spectacular! Thanks for sharing.

Call me old Mr Thicky but WTF is number 2?

Very difficult at dealerships to get nice images.

Its a Gilet Vertigo, Apparently fitted with a Cosworth turbo engine and is claimed to be capable of 0-60 in less than 2.5 seconds. Looked more stunning than the pics show, as the colour really does catch the light nicely.

It was more difficult that i thought to use the cars at a dealership, they seem to put other cars in the way, or where you want to stand to compose a better shot, and in some shots, both. The lighting is weird to work well with too.

Ah cheers, I had read about the Vertigo a long time ago but never seen one in the flesh so to speak. Didn't these race at Le Mans a while back?

Not sure about Le Mans, but there was one in the FIA GT series this year at Silverstone, will find a pic for you later on and upload it.

Nothing wrong with being a bit tight at the edges if you ask me.
