[NSW] Photo Shoot - Can you beat this?
Okay, to pinch an idea off the Vic's (thanks Kall 
), I suggest we also convene a photo shoot for the Sydneysiders (and of course any country dwellers who wish to join in 
).
Not being a camera buff, I wouldn't know where to start but since you're a competitive lot, I thought I'd spur you on with a few happy snaps I took yesterday arvo. It sure sets a low bar!
So, can you beat it?
Suggestions please for dates, locations, snappers...
(I was in such a hurry to beat the rain that was threatening, I committed a cardinal sin when snapping
- can you spot it? 
).

Left date on? Didn't line up the wheel so the brand can be read easily? Didn't wash car? What!? Pretty good pics all the same.
By the way, where did you source you chrome fuel cap?

. The writing on the centrecap is upside down. 
As for plates and dates - I couldn't give a stuff. Rego info isn't that hard to come by if you have any serious intent.
And I washed the car (but only a quick once over really).
The alloy fuel cap was a Mazda option fitted by the dealer (i.e. before I found this and similar sites and discovered it's cheaper to go elsewhere). I believe japanparts.com, etc have them available.

Should you believe the location needs to remain confidential, PM me and I'll PM anybody interested or perhaps set up an email group for further discussion off-forum.
BTW, thanks for the compliments guys but I'm sure we can do better than my lame effort.

Interested in any pitfalls from someone with the experience of doing this kinda thing.

Well, where we are going is definately legal, but I dont want to risk any unwelcomed people. I'm not worried about police as I know the Melbournians are all mature and sensible but theres just too many ridiculas car clubs around Vic at the moment and full of commonwhore drivers that tend to not understand that something could be invite only. They the ones that cause problems and give car clubs bad names. We dont have that problem amongst our members, but when it becomes a 'photoshoot' as such, people may want to 'come and watch'. Which is why ive limited our 1 to only RX8's, and information given upon confirmation.
I just want to keep it peaceful and limited to the people who are coming, obviously in the past we have posted details of meet points for cruises etc and nothing has happened, but now that I'm a bit more "in the scene" Ive seen first hand how some things can get a bit out of control. Call me paranoid, but I'm taking the responsibility to ensure that everything goes smoothly. Just wayyyy too many ********* out there!!

Photo shoot + coffee meet up sounds good.
Its quite hard if you go to industrial estates as you get usually hassled by security guards as they think you might be doing something untowards. Which could be true...
The last one I did was at my building my mate has an office in. Quite new and not fully occupied as yet. I'll see if we can use it on week/Fri night.
Apart from that, not sure a good spot apart from Olympic park ie. (Sorry, its fords)

Okay Kall, thanks . I guess that ******** element is also more pervasive at night too.
In that case, let's have EOI's and proposed dates only and once we agree on a date we'll manage location via PM.
Chris, nice pic and thanks for the suggestion . Please look into it but we'll see what others come up with before any decisions are made.
The next Sydney cruise seems to be struggling to attract interest so hopefully a night event will bring in some bigger numbers.
(Hmm, not sure why I'm bothering really
).

Here's a pic of my car.
as you can see, my photographic skillz are sorely lacking.
I blame it on the funny lighting at the location, and my total inability to work any type of camera equipment at all....
so saying that, I'm sure if a hollywood movie star sees this and calls it "art" then I will be able to sell it for millions!
