Sco0terzsl Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Well I took advantage of the nice weather the past couple days by washing the car and taking it out on a much needed photo adventure. I hadn't picked up the camera for quite some time so it was good to get out and stretch my trigger finger a bit. Here are some of the keepers. 1 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_7490copy.jpg 2 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_7432copy.jpg 3 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_7414copy.jpg 4 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sco0terzsl/06%20Mini%20Cooper%20S/IMG_7451copy.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Bah, Speedos are overrated... And so are speedometers. The tach is in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHaze Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Speedometer in the middle of the dashboard? God that interior is confusing. Nice pictures, just hate the car. Just in case you seriously can't comprehend why BMW chose to style some of the interior based off of reminiscence: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/75/229317362_7ae62ebf49.jpg I don't see the "confusion" in an interior. It makes perfect sense and fits the look and quirkiness of the car. You'll probably have an aneurysm from the new Minis: http://www.carpages.co.uk/mini/mini_images/mini_cooper_s_interior_17_08_06.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pictures, just hate the car. you think thats bad, google pics of a toyota yaris/scion xA dash. talk about dumb. i have a buddy in pittsburgh who's parents own an appliance repair shop, and what he drives on calls is a scion xa (saves on gas, and if you knew pittsburgh, you'll understand why). its the oddest dash ever http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/ScionxA/Images/Dash.jpg http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/0/r/Q/1/09yaris5d_dash.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TURBOED Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 FYI, there was an option on the Mini S to have both the tacho and speedo on the steering wheel, leaving the center stack to hold the oil pressure, coolant temp and I think something else. Great pics, I love the car and the city :thumbup: And to anyone who says they hate the Mini S, have you driven one? I drive my mom's from time to time, and they are an absolute blast. One of the best "feel" cars I have ever driven. Of course, I also have a miata, so I clearly could care less how I "look" driving a car.

I know what he is saying.I had more fun driving an old FX16 GTS I had then I think any other DD I've owned.I would love to buy another if I find a nice one.Also an 83 GTI my Brother owned was incredibly fun to drive.

TTQ B4U Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Are those HDR shots? IMO it appears to be the use of off-camera flash units. Lighting follows the lines of the car and the shadows wrap-around. i absolutely love the first pic with columbus in the background. Looks like Cinci though ?

Fubar231 Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thought it looked different from that angle.... Still sexy HD ass pictures... Least they look HD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Nice pics. Flash can cause that HDR look. Still wouldn't be any reason not to do a little HDR on those shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 On the first one it looks like there might have been 2 flashes outside the car? For some critique if you got a huge goofy speedo in the center of the pic you should even out those two shadows on its white face. Very cool pic though.
