Smile Billings Meet Pictures

Just to say a big thank you for making us feel very welcome today at Billing - it was great to meet so many nice owners and see some very nice cars too and the weather supplied by Ken was amazing, just like the man himself.

I have attached a couple of the pics I took today - hope any owners dont mind - and look forward to making a meet in the future.

Dont care much for that pink thing!! The only regret when I purchased my crossfire is the colour. Seeing that blue one made me wished I could have found that colour at the time of my purchase. I think, without doubt, the lighter blue was the crossfires' best colour - although the grey is a close second.
The yellow was a most ridiculous colour yet this was heavily featured when the crossfire was being advertised in car mags.
Black is kind of ok but it generally looks dirty even after the lightest of showers.

Just a brief note to say a BIG BIG BIG Thanks for a great weekend at Billing Aquadrome

A fantastic 14 car line up was a great surprise and looked very impressive!

Full report will appear at the end of the week as I am away on business until Thurs night.

Thanks to everyone for attending - See you next time

MMmmm think you may get a few disagreeing with those comments!
"that pink thing" looks great in the flesh and the lady that owns it may give you ear bashing if she reads that!

Each to their own..if your truely unhappy with best colour BLACK! then trade it in for the colour you perfer.

I agree about the pink Crossfire..but if I were a cross dresser I may half like it!

I have a stack of photos - they need to be sorted and graded. What I did do was make a Panorama of the site. You can view it here (requires Flash 9).

Billing 2010

It was a very bright day - and shooting a panorama requires you to keep the camera as constant as possible between each shot - I have to take 16 to get this. You tend to get better results on cloudier days. Parts of the panorama can appear badly exposed.

Anyway, you get the idea of what the day was like - sunny, lots of cars. There was a Plymouth Prowler there too.

Great shots and way to represent the Crossfires. I think the pink Crossfire is hot. Maybe the owner is a "survivor" or supports the "cause". Either way, as a survivor I LIKE IT !!!!.

Mr Hairydalek - that is very clever and does a great job of showing what a lovely day it was. Hope your new stealth Xfire isnt causing you too much hastle as it melds into its surroundings.

At the moment, it’s redirecting light around itself. It’s dark, and it is practically invisible! I’ll have to work out the best way to capture this on camera. Shiny cars are very hard to photograph effectively at the best of times. I’m wanting it to rain now - just to see how water behaves on the very shiny surface.

Oh - you lot haven’t seen the bat sticker I put under the spoiler yet! I’ll have to rummage out a photo.
