Great shots. Love the last one. The feeling of motion, and the wheels look like they got lightening coming from them! TFS.

Sweet shots! Looking forward to getting shafted by traffic on my way to work at YVR while the oval is being used in what is it...just under 99 days now?

I've always been a domestic car guy, but shots like that will eventually convert me to the dark side!

P.S. What is this custom rig you speak of?

Fantastic set! I see you are a local Lower Mainlander. Me too. I like the lighting in your work, and the interesting angles you use. Very dynamic! It looks like you have some friends with very nice cars as well. I have a 2002 Acura EL. I wish it was hopped up a bit, but I think I am getting too old for that now. Maybe if I was younger. LOL.
