Title: Shooting Abarths in the wild Post by: simon131 on February 26, 2013, 05:39:54 PM Wet, windy and bloomin' cold counts as wild doesn't it? Well it does in my book! ;)
A few weeks ago I was invited by journo Ross Alkureishi to a multi-car Abarth shoot for Classic and Sportscar Magazine at the private Turweston Aerodrome near Silverstone, Northamptonshire. So, this morning I rose at 5am :o (wanted to beat the traffic), loaded the car with sandwiches and a full flask and set off northwards. The weather was horrid :D, not proper rain but damp enough to throw salt and grime laden water over my clean beastie :-\ )Waste of time cleaning it on Sunday :'(). I arrived early and waited for others - First a red Strada 130TC, then Middle Barton Garage arrived with a Fiat 750 Abarth Bialbero 'Double Bubble', a nice 595 SS and a 1000TC racer. We were then joined by Ross and his 124 Abarth and a chap called Tim with his white 1000OT (850 Coupe based car). Lots of standing around in the cold while the photographer did his stuff - interior and engine shots, then a spot of lunch before 'action' shots on the runway. A couple of taster/teaser shots below. Car of day? Surprised you need to ask...... ;D ;D ;D Title: Re: Shooting Abarths in the wild Post by: Thotos on February 26, 2013, 05:59:28 PM Well done Simon (http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/25_coolguy.gif)
The car looks fab and it sounds like good fun regardless of the weather (http://images.bravenet.com/common/images/smilies/thumbsup2.gif) Title: Re: Shooting Abarths in the wild Post by: Heini131 on February 26, 2013, 06:03:35 PM "Car of day", of course and I am not surprised ;D ;) :D
