My ULTIMATE Drive

[GTaudiophile]

See pictures in the pics section of my web site. (It's not a very fancy site, but it's functional.)

I haven't had sex, but it can't be as much fun as I had! I spent an hour, driving both a 330ci convertible and a 540i sport wagon. It was heaven! Freude Am Fahren!

<< How did I do this for free? For every mile I drove, BMW will donate $1.00 to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Research Foundation. A win-win situation for all! >>



That's freaking cool, hwere can I get hookup with that deal. Heck since its for a good cause I'll even chip in 50 cents a mile

I'm all ears if any of you have comments on how I could make my site better.

I own two domains:

1)www.threewood.com
2)www.liveforthedrive.com

Both point to one site at the moment, but I plan to develop a BMW enthusiasts' web site with the second domain. I want to learn Flash before I do that.

No comments?

 

[RaoulDuke]

gt do you yourself have a bmw?

/me drives m3 and loves it.

 

[kag]

GTaudiophile... did you drove the M3?

RaoulDuke, which year is your M3?

 

[GTaudiophile]

You have to be 25 to drive the 7-Series and M-Series cars, so no.

Next time skip the steptronic tranny and go manual .

 

[GTaudiophile]

They only had one car there with a manual: a Z3. I wasn't too interested in driving it as I am not planning on getting one. I do hope to own either a 330ci or a 530i in the near (1 year or so) future.

I think i'm going to get a BMW Z8 soon...

 

[gygheyzeus]

My dad has a 2002 M3, 0-60 in about 5 seconds (says 4.8 on their site, but I could only get it in 5.x). god that car is sweet. Yeah, who in their right mind would drive anything but standard? Jeez.

Sorry, man, but the Z8 is sold out for three years (120 units in the States over 3 years), and I doubt BMW will bring more here. Good luck getting a new one! Might try buying one in Europe.

What job do you have that allows you to afford a $130,000 car?

 

[GTaudiophile]

Anyone have anymore comments regarding my web site?

 

[gittyup]

Wow. Super clear pictures. Nice job..

What kind of photographic equipment was used for the images? Digital or film? Do you perform a lot of Photoshop enhancements because the images looks very sharp and clear...the color balance looks exceptionally natural in those auto shots.

 

[GTaudiophile]

I use a Canon PowerShot S10 for all photos. All are taken at 1600x1200 (max) resolution (2.1 megapixels) with Fine compression (Normal, Fine, Super Fine). The images were compressed down to 640x480 in PhotoShop 5.0 so that they would &quot;fit&quot; onto my web site.
(I designed my site for monitors running at 1024x768 or better.)

I always do some re-touching in PhotoShop. My standard touch-ups include running the Sharpen Filter once, then making the following Color Balance Adjustments: -10 Red, -5 Cyan, -5 Yellow.

One of the &quot;drawbacks&quot; of the S10 is that the pictures often have a blue-tint to them, so I make those adjustments to make them more natural. I can't complain, though, as I purchased my S10 for $250 (marked down from $500) at Office-Max last October.
