Finally I have some good pics to post...
Hi All,
I've been avidly reading this forum for the last few months. Now that I have some decent pics, I thought it would be a good time to introduce myself and say hello.
I live in the UK, am car mad, but new to Corvettes. I bought my '75 about 6 months ago.
I'm a lucky guy as I managed to find a very sorted car - the previous owner had it 10 years and spent many thousands of pounds getting the it to where it is today, with all the work being done by a very well respected specialist here in the UK. Performance wise it's a standard 75 so pretty much the bottom of the pile, but it has a new 4 speed auto, steeroids and smart struts as well as new interior, paint job etc etc.
This forum is absolutely awesome, I visit every day and am following all the project threads with interest (especially Rogman - your work is awesome!
). This is the best online community I have ever seen - the knowledge here amazes me, I'm learning so much and will try to put something back whenever I can.
Anyway, here are some pics from a photo shoot I went to last Sunday - enjoy!:
Thanks for reading,
Robert (ashfrj)

Hi Robert,
That's a GREAT looking car.
You must be very proud of it, and it must get lots of attention when you drive it.
Your fortunate to have found such a well sorted car in G.B.
The photography is very interesting too.... how were those unusual visual effects obtained?
Regards,
Alan

Thanks guys.
Alan - the pics were taken in an infinity cove studio - basically a white room where the transition from floor to wall and wall to ceiling are all curved. On that day the photographer decided to shoot on black cloth background. The photos are taken by a guy called James Mann who is a very well respected automotive photographer and did the pictures for all of Tom Falconers Corvette books.
Brent - I'll post up a link to the hi res version of that one when I get a chance. I've also got a couple of detail shots that would be really good wallpapers, so I'll post those too

Really stunning ,
your going to smile from ear to ear everytime you take that baby out for a drive through the country lanes and stop at the quaint villages for a pub lunch.
