Is there where the Zoom Zoom road is?

Jk, great pics. Very nice scene and clean car, hah.

guidosrx8

^ thanks Cohdey, but it does makes a good 'zoom zoom' road! hahaha it has the whole package. long banked turns, sharp corners and some good sized straightaways. never any cops this far up, (knock on wood) and is empty during the week. but gets pretty crowded with bikes on the weekends...

'87 Turbo II

Any post processing? If not then bravo to the Olympus being able to do great red color reproduction (a feat for most cameras). If you adjusted it yourself, good job, if you didn't, good job on lighting and angles anyway. You're pretty talented. Awesome car too.

87 turbo you must be on a picture quality inspection

guidosrx8

'87- I just did the normal little touch ups. I didn't alter the saturation or light. just the sharpness. it really makes a difference. I just studied the manual over and over. haha

just head up the 101 (from the 405) and stay on it until you see the sign for Ojai Highway 33 turn off (right off the 101,can't miss it) head all the way up and through Ojai. then you just follow the signs in Ojai and it takes you back to the 33.

its about 75-80 miles from L.A.

oh you can see the ocean and the Channel Islands from the top on a clear day.

nice chris, now hurry up and throw that front end on! he he

Astral

beautiful pics! and that road looks amazing too!

(need to do something about that dealership license plate frame )

another 8 with an app kit and no OEM spoiler

guidosrx8

haha seriously....it will be on soon....just need to make a trip to a few body shops. I want to put all my stuff on (side skirts, and rear fairings) at the same time...gonna be a little costly to do. haha

guidosrx8

my GF said she is gonna get me a new License plate frame....but she is slacking on it...hahaha...maybe tomorrow

CarAndDriver

Nice pics and road. Took a look on Google Maps!

Glad you got rid of the front plate. Looks so much sweeter. How about replacing that dealer frame with something more befitting your 8? Get going GF!

believe me it's a curse how much you feel the need to analyze every photo you see when you start to study photography.

chrism

this just makes me wanna move back to cali.......

guidosrx8

oh man....so true, its like every picture can't be perfect. haha can be frustrating.

I use a lot of these pictures for my photography class.

bruce_van

Nice. I didn't know LA had some decent roads for zooming.

guidosrx8

you definatly have to drive a ways to get to them... this one here is about 75 miles away.

anthony20888

Those mountains look great. I hate Florida! So damn flat!

Car looks great too.

bruce_van

75 miles??? Whoa. That's quite a distance.

Let's see. I'm getting about 18 mpg highway. And at $3.75/gallon, that's about $15.62 just to get there. That would be over a $30 outing. Yikes.

guidosrx8

so true!!! then there is the temptation to drive harder on the twisties... so that will shoot mileage down more. haha... but its worth it...

Oh Well, I would have bought a different car if I wanted mileage. haha

NoTears316

nice pics.

CarAndDriver

And how fast are you going to get 18MPG on the highway?
