You say that like its a blunder... lol, going out and buying a basque and suspenders after a lingerie conversation, 'that' would be a blunder, unless you have access to a suitable rack to display it on

If anyone local to Warwickshire is keen to do this, we could drive down to Colchester together for a shoot?

This shoot isnt likely to happen until late spring early summer, so think, May/June.
this was just a feeler to see if anyone would be willing to take part.

Obviously the more cars, the more models, the more photographers, and the bigger the event, a larger event needs more people monitoring whats going on, so no one leaves with a sad face. so we tend to plan these in advance. So its great that I can get an idea of how many people we need to hand certain responsibilities to.

Im actually surprised its received such a warm response. I will have a chat with Simon and see what limitations need to be in place in terms of numbers.

but dont worry, we run these events often, so you wont miss a chance

You should be ashamed, some of these pictures are quite frankly disgusting and abusive!

In this example the girl's wearing some scanty 'cut-offs' (or Daisy Dukes as I believe they are known) leaning against the car with the metal zip and button in contact with the paint! :cry:
To top it off the sordidly suggestive bubble foam is being applied with an old sponge (no sign of a pair of buckets or a fibre wash mitt!) whilst caressing the rear with a bangle laden hand. I'm very surprised that anybody on this forum is interested in this sort of thing TBH

I know I know, I should have asked Melvyn to take her top off. (the car I mean)
she didnt do a very good job anyway, she left a sweaty bum print on the bonnet. we had to wash it for him afterwards, using a scouring pad and some Vim to get the filth off.

People need to lighten up! its a bit of fun, no one gets hurt.

in all seriousness, we arent abusing anyone. they have a choice to be there, we dont encourage that, they pick their own outfits, they pose, and we just go to work. more often than not they barely come into contact with the cars, and if they do its with owners permission.

I've received more sratches and dents in a shopping centre car park than i have rivets from jeans and bangles touching my cars. And i should know as 3 of the cars in the images were mine and have appeared at several shoots.

I dont even know why im trying to justify this... im a bit surprised by your comment which implies we are taking advantage and mistreating people, tbh, because thats not the case at all. but I can see i've caused a bit of a controversy by posting this. when all I had intended was a social event which some here may be interested in or have never experienced before.

After all life is for living, otherwise we would all drive round in Kia Ceed's and fiestas.

if the post offends you that much, then why comment? I believe the 'moaning I didnt get my annual heating allowance thread' is down on page 82 and has no replies. perhaps you could try there...

Ok sorry that was perhaps a bit OTT, but isnt your response also?
