I took some pix of my black beauty this past weekend but have just now gotten around to resizing and uploading them. I've been looking for a spot to take pix at that wasn't industrialized. Although I have seen some shots with that type of background that looked good, I wanted to get some with nothing but nature. This is a park right around the block from me that just opened. I was happy to find a spot to park on the grass and get some shots. Hope you enjoy them...

This is probably my favorite shot of the bunch (took 30 images) but it does have the security gaurd's house that shows through the back window and his shed just below the passenger's mirror...



Another good shot. Using this one for my desktop right now at 1280 X 1024...



Showin' off her fat azz...



Topless!!!...



My second favorite shot of the bunch but would rather have the car angled in front of that mighty live oak. Will have to return for some additional shots...



And finally, a little self pimpage. Below is a link to a video I shot and edited for the North Florida Corvette Association Autocross that was held down in St. Augustine, Florida. I wanted to repost it here because I'm not sure if everyone got a chance to see it as I posted it as an afterthought on another thread.

The video quality is kind of low because of the compression and is a little shaky at times because of yours truly but you get the idea. I wanted to include around five minutes of footage and had to compress it this much to get it to a downloadable size.

Unfortunately because of all the rain we've had here lately, the grass was in bad need of a cut. Although I'm fairly tall at 6'7" I still could have used a higher vantage point to see the cars on the track a little better.

That's CAJUNY2KC5 in the pewter coupe and OOH YEAH in the mag red coupe.
