my magazine wants to do a photoshoot of some hot cars in the area. I need some photoshoot location ideas. Got any for me?

Hugounot (sp?) Park, some good water/beach shots.

This was at Hugounot

I thought of that, but I can't take these cars on the sand. They sit too low. Porsche Carerra GT, Lambo, Lotus

I'm pretty sure my car is as low as those... but then there are a number of nice locations in both Amelia Island and the St. Augustine area.

Note: they used to run car races on the sand... both in Daytona and Jacksonville. It isn't quick-sand.

I'm sure i could make it work. If it were my own car, no problem. But I feel like i need another safer location. That Porsche carerra is a $400k plus car.

Geez... what do you think mine's worth? (to me )

So what you are saying is...if someone wanted to trade their Porsche Carrera GT straightup for your C5, you would turn it down?

Deluxe

Yep.

BBQ

hmm. Ok fair enough. But just in case someone does come to you with this proposition...Give them my phone number!

Drumbum675

this is at hougonot park....

some areas of the beach are very flat and hard....not like sand....like concrete.....

Hey, now we are talking. I know where Hugenout park is, but can you give me more detail on where you were?

If you go into the park just follow the road through the camping area. It will eventually go out onto the beach. Tons of cars drive on it so its very very packed and you can easily drive a lowered car on it. I would go on a weekday for pictures. Lots of other cars out there on weekends which may screw up your pics.

Thanks for the advice. I'll go and scout it out.

Blue Lion

I haven't been there, but what about Hannah Park?
My favorite view is downtown from the Fuller Warren Bridge, but I don't know how you'd make that work. Good luck. Glad to see our city get some publicity.

Actually that would also be an excellent choice. This time of year it is easy to find paved lots that are empty or nearly so. You would get more foliage than beach or river... depends on what you are looking for in a backdrop.

Around the riverwalk. In the sports complex area around Alltell stadium. Many great areas around the Mandarin and Switzerland areas on SR13. Lots of great scenery there. Also depending on the type of backdrop wanted the Ponte Vedra and Sawgrass areas on A1A are also very nice. Take a little bit of a drive in these areas and I think you will find a handfull of places that may be what you need.

Is that Lester Jackson's Carrera GT that's usually in the portable carport behind Venus swimwear?

DBD

BBQ

Nope. Not his. Are you talking about Darryl? (owner of venus?) (not his either)

I had this one done along side of the St. Johns' river on the Orange Park side.
