I saw these on the Facebook pages too, and I agree - some very nice arty shots. But what fascinates is that the overall height of the car is twice the height of the wheels & tyres. Is this a true proportion? I can't find a side on pic on-line at the mo.

It gives Tarka a very hot rod stance that appeals greatly. thumbs

I also felt that the proportions had somehow been enhanced...

But you are right, the wheels (19" Aeromax) are actually more than 50% of the overall height.

I measured:

Wheels, including tyres are 24.5"
Body, to top of the screen is 46.5"

Possibly part of the reason Tarka looks so good!

Strange side screen as well!


...Yes. looking at the reflection again I think it's a bit of a spoiler, because (IMHO) they shouldn't have made it burred, but instead, just used a bit of 'transparency' on the layer used for the reflected image, and fade it down that way.

The "reflection" shows the top area of the bonnet and the windscreen.....rather gives it away.

It would be good to get hold of the originals and have a better go.

My best guess would be to try MMC for the originals as these had another signature beneath them.

I believe it took them ages to photoshop out the 5 naked nubiles who were nestling on the bodywork for the original snaps. I have them pictured in my mind's eye, and am going to appeal for leniency when caught.

Thanks, I've e-mailed Oliver Haake who runs MSCC Deutsland. With luck he will know where I can get a bigger/better resolution format for making a big print.

He may know where the car dolly-girls are to be found..... hide

Will be interesting to compare these with the original photos
