Racey, love the personalized plate. I didn't notice that until the drive, but when I saw it I knew exactly who it was. I am still waiting for the Department of Revenue to send me my "JC 2" plates.

It would have been a great pic to get your M3 with the E28 M5 that was there.

Hey, thanks for having me.
Half of it involves letting drivers let me take over the shotgun spot to get the images.

The lighting was perfect from the west, and the contrast of the car colors, ski, and asphault helped!

Here is a slideshow of the pics I took. Not nearly as good as Erik's, but not too bad for driving while taking these.


If you want any of these full size, just hit me up with a PM

AWESOME PICS!

The drive was really a blast. The weather was nice, the scenery was beautiful, and the roads were a lot of fun.
