DodgyBastard Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 He already had the 99, I asked if I could grab some things out the boot of it and he said: Well, if it's yours... Obviously I went along and tried to make the deal in the first place, he didn't seem too bothered about the 99 and thought it was too much work to "restore". I have a feeling he'll break it for spares which would be a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BavarianRetro Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Can anyone see any issues with the above photo?It looks a bit over exposed and the depth of field is very shallow suggesting too large an aperture rather than too long a shutter speed? Any news on the Alfa? PM or text if you prefer. OwdChina, oldcars, Dippy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 Very funny! No news on the alfa other than the distributor fits in the 900 and the ht leads fit a 360.. It's been put to the back of an ever increasing queue. I'd like to move it inside asap but still have a couple of cars to move before I can do that.

dugong Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 A HYPOCRITE WRITES: Yo. Could you possibly bin the faux-instagram filter off on your shots please FOAD? You look to have some top shiting adventures but I can't tell what's going on half the time because your images look like stills from Children of Men. Your mixture of spark plugs - turbo fail. Had to squint to see that they were blacker than a coal face. Mr_Bo11ox, Pillock and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 How about you fuck off? Also the photo of the spark plugs was to show that they were different types, not that they were black. If you're having trouble viewing them get your eyes tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Your mixture of spark plugs - turbo fail. I'm guessing you're just looking for a reaction? if you had read the thread there's no mention of the car having a turbo. Apart from the photos, what's your fucking problem man?

dugong Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Wow. OK, constructive feedback rejected. Want to jump off the high horse for thirty seconds? No, I wasn't looking for a reaction. Did you need to sound off twice? I was trying to be polite without coming across difficult. I didn't manage it, clearly. You have some great stuff going on, but if I'm honest, I don't enjoy the filters you dump on every shot. It's an opinion - sorry for voicing it. As for my eyes, they're fine (despite the best efforts of an MG Midget). The 'turbo fail' was ineptitude on the part of the previous owner, not you. I realise its N\A (and was a crap choice of words, given the context). Chill out, yeah? rainagain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyBastard Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 I enjoy taking the photos. I'm not chucking a filter on them but they are edited using a raw processing program. I enjoy the way they look as do other people. I'm sorry they dont live up to your high standards of photography. How did you honestly expect me to react?I'm not trying to be a professional photographer but it is something that I enjoy so having snide remarks made about the style of my photos wasn't very enjoyable.

dugong Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Since when have I had high standards? The remarks weren't 'snide'. Apologies for having an opinion. Really, I am sorry for that. How did I expect you to react? Well, without double posts and telling me to 'go and get my fucking eyes tested', frankly. It was meant as constructive feedback. Tell you what - I'll leave it in the future. I'll send the dove your way. rainagain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
