Another day at the office.....

[FredTransit]

So I am at home and there's a ring on the door bell. On the door step is a little group of girls, two Japanese and a tall blonde (no this is not some joke). Turns out one of them is local, and she's an Art/Photography student at St Martins College, she asks if she can take some pics of the vans with her model. After they signed a little contract (no not kidding) to state the images are not for commercial use, off they go snapping, some of/on the Mk1 ex amby, and some in the Mk2 amby (which were er, a PVC theme ) and finally some fashiony type shots in the crewbus. The things that happen when you have some old transit laying about!

FantasticThey are age 16+ ? Being serious for a second...What a crazy, yet cool thing to happen

[retrogeezer]

Where are the PVC ones then!!! I feel mis-sold.

[pogweasel]

Still not painted those window frames then, Fred?

[Mr H Sceptre]

God, that kinda thing never happens to me.

Nah can't be arsed. They weren't there for the windows. I would say as they were students they were over 16. Sorry I didn't get any of the PVC. Have to say the modey was a bit on the slim side and we had to clip the back of the catsuit with crocodile clips. Baggy PVC is not a good look.... I did lend em some shoes though (LK Bennett slingbacks) and a corset belt..... I have been promised copies of the digital pics by email. The photographer goes home to Japan next week.

I fully approve of this sort of post at autoshite... MOAR PLZ

[Alexg]

This never happened with any of my Metros...

more more more...

[FredTransit]

I only have a couple more, but will post up when I get the emailed copies. I am beginning to think the model might make it, if she sticks at it. She was a bit self conscious of sitting on the bonnet of the Mk1 and people were slowing down to look. I had to tell her she will have to get used to being looked at, specially if she gets any outdoor shoots.

[Alexg]

Pitty the shoot wasn't for 'Nuts'. That'll been a show....

[Minimad5]

The photographer looks abit more "up my street"Shame there ain't a snap or 2 of her.Typical blokes 'ey (Should we invite Ash in here ? . Love you really sir)

[Mr Lobster]

 

Better than having someone selling Bettaware / Avon / Kleenezee at the door I guess.

[retrogeezer]

there are a lot of For Sale boards in your street - are your neighbours trying to tell you something??

Croc clips are de rigeur for fashion shoots. Most of the clothes come nowhere near fitting.

[barrett]

I don't do the model thing

What, I'd totally do the model 'thing' (which, frankly, is a pretty rude thing to call her)**autolech - nerdy AND perverse since 2004

Who would of thought it hey, A rusty old Transit being a clunge magnet!.Did you lend her your PVC suit Fred?.

[Richard]

Fred has a PVC suit? Pics or it didn't happen.

[Guest]

The latter isn't a bad choice.

[Milford Cubicle]

 

I like the Union Jack. Isn't the Transit as British as the queen?

It did cross me mind, but she was about 2 ft taller than me so I thought better of it....

[FredTransit]

Been sent these, happy now?

 

 

[Cheggers]

Blissfully, thanks

[Minimad5]

Great pictures Wish her the best of luck

[FredTransit]

Indeed, but I would say the Model (who's called Maria Smirnova) has the most potential in fashion.

[Minimad5]

Any details on the Photographer ?Be interesting to see what other subjects she shoots

[FredTransit]

She sent me her web address, it's

I noticed on the website it says 'he', which I assume is a mistranslation.

[Minimad5]

Wow , some top quality stuff on there.Thanks Fred

They always refer to TingTing as "He" in the translated version of the forum. I think it must just be a translation thing.
