Carlisle Pictures - All Cars on the Showfield

Post by **anglin** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 11:56 am

All,

I snapped a picture of every car that was in place as I passed by the rows between 11:53 am and 12:08 pm on Saturday. I've posted the pictures to a directory (by filename) for anybody to look at. No thumbnails or anything fancy.

Enjoy!

Uh, I dunno. Cool wheels though.

It was excellent to meet you in person, too!

Brad, I was nearly going to put a Merkur emblem over your sacreligious Pontiac emblem, ala Colin Doyle. I had the right tape (Colin used my tape to do his "mods").

"Making them work", that was a 10-minute job. "Making them fit", well, let's just say I really didn't intend to waste THAT much time on this silly-ass project. The funny thing is how many people want to see me finish it off so it looks better. I was thinking it had served it's purpose and should be thrown in the trash now!

I agree!

I did it for a laugh, and in that regard I think I was successful. I can't even justify it from a practical standpoint, since the lighting supplied by the Pontiac lights is crap; my Euro quad round headlights is way better. In my "insanity gone wild" moment, I checked into the GM forums and found there are ways to improve the lighting of the mini-quads, but it's not a huge improvement.

I was going to do a "Calvin" on Brads' car, but I had serious stage-freight.

Chris:

Thanks for taking the shots of the Merkur showfield. Of all things, I left the hotel Saturday morning w/o my camera and didn't take any shots of my own (what a bone-head!). I copied these over into a directory and these will make great material for my screensaver for the upcoming months.

im sorry..

but ugly isnt the word for that hot mess of a half-assed grill.

when i heard everyong hating on it.. i thought i might like it..

but when i saw it........

i think piles of dog $#!* on the front bumper would look better than that pile of mess.

atleast get rid of the pontiac sh*t.

The only thing worse than having people talk about you, is not having people talk about you.
-Oscar Wilde

If you looked close, you could see the "witness marks" from the original Pontiac emblem, showing that it was actually larger than the one I replaced it with. Ya know, cause I wanted a more understated, elegant appearance.
