Seriously doubt it girly. You'd need to have no legs to fit in there!!

Very sexy car. Next time we're in the area I demand you or Leon take me out for a spin in it. I love Nissans in general, but they're great cars, and it looks like the Touring pack to me, so a bonus there

Yeah sure. I nominate Leon though, because I drive it like a grandad at the moment and it wouldn't be very exciting. And yes, it is a Touring.

I get excited about any car fast enough to do something stupid in Thankfully a lot can be had at a decent price second hand, but alas it'll be a while before I get a car again as it's simply not worthwhile for me at the moment.

How very DARE you!! The Mondeo has been a fantastic, faithful beast for the past 3 years. It's just time for her to go on to somewhere more relaxing to live out her twilight years.

And it's quite fitting that you've posted Pete, because I've been messing round with some HDR shots tongiht. Haven't done this for ages, but was quite pleased with the results. Only annoying thing is the pink sky in the second shot:

Yeah HDR can sometimes go a bit wrong. Take it to a hill at sunset for the best results. Make sure you get 3 exposures with enough detail in the shadows and highlights to cover it and you should get something pretty cool. I do love the look of this car, its got a nice character to it. Congrats Get on a mountain pass and do some downhills.

Righto, will do. I didn't even think of making the pics into HDR until I got home and had a brainwave. We'd just jetwashed her, given her a quick wax and then driven to the nearest place with a green backdrop to take some pics. This wasn't three shots either - I've just added/removed a stop in Rawshooter. Is it best to take them 1 stop apart, or should I increase it?
Still, quite pleased with them

I FULLY intend to take her over a mountain pass and get some shots when we're back in Wales. Took a cook photo of Leon's 205 on a steep hill and want to re-create it properly. Some shots of it navigating some tight bends from above would look cool too, and the obligatory doughnut shot... HAS to be done!

p.s. I think she has a lot of character too. So MEAN looking. Rawr!
