Focaljet SVT Press Day Photos... **56K Major Warning** Bandwidth Killer - EEK - Focaljet

**Peloton25** · 04-12-2002, 07:36 AM

I know these aren't necessarily the photos that everyone wants to see right now. Trust me - we will have those shortly. These photos came from the official SVT Press Introduction out at Willow Springs Raceway here in SoCal that Ron and I were invited to attend. I took about 300 pics that day and over the next few days I'll try to put up as many of the good ones as I can in this thread.

Enjoy viewing them, I sure enjoyed taking them.

**Peloton25** · 04-12-2002, 07:37 AM

That's it for now - I'll try to put up more before the day is over.

Thanks for these man.. This is the one that I wasn't invited too... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

**S. on Da 5** · 04-12-2002, 07:53 AM

I wonder if that black one is the one that is over at Mills Ford? [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

**Peloton25** · 04-12-2002, 07:56 AM

No South - these were all pre-production press fleet cars. This event was in February - Job1 wasn't even completed when these were taken.

WAS THAT A GREEN SVT PEEPS?

**Slayer420** · 04-12-2002, 09:21 AM

Great pics once again P25! [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img] Of course it makes waiting even harder for those of us that still haven't recieved ours.. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

I asked him the same thing.. That was a green ZX3 that was sitting there.. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

**Peloton25** · 04-12-2002, 09:38 AM

Yes, they brought out a Red ZX5 and that Green ZX3. I'm not sure if they were just using them as transpotation for the many Ford reps who were out there, or if they intended to let journalists do a back to back comparison, but they stayed parked all day long.

**Blis** · 04-12-2002, 09:53 AM

They made you wear those helmets? [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

**Slayer420** · 04-12-2002, 10:24 AM

The helmet is standard equipment and the car won't even start unless you have it on... [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img]

**J-Rod** · 04-12-2002, 10:47 AM

Pics look great man! [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img]

**Peloton25** · 04-12-2002, 10:52 AM

Thanks J-Rod - the bumpers look great too, but we've been over that one before. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

More pictures will follow in the coming days. [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] Just wait, I have this one with the car jumping a ravine that will knock your socks off!! [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img]

Erik, you are a photography God! [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img]

Those shots of the silver one taking the turns are just..."wow" [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

**hoop-d** · 04-12-2002, 05:30 PM

I noticed that in every picture the cones are knocked over!?

haha! [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img]

Well that is the nicest compliment I have yet to receive. Really though, I just push the shutter button. [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Hopefully, if I keep practicing and standing right behind my photography idol Scott Dahlquist who was out there taking pics that day too, I'll get somewhere with this little photography gig.

I hate you, I really hate you! Torture us by making us look at these amazing machines, lots of them. I think I really hate you. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

**focusownerskid** · 04-14-2002, 12:25 AM

Erik,

Pics are amazing! You are the MAN! [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

**Peloton25** · 04-16-2002, 05:35 PM

Ok, twist my arm... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

I'll throw some more in a new thread tonight and link this one too it. I originally wanted one thread with all the shots, but that would really suck if you're on dialup.

**Peloton25** · 04-17-2002, 05:18 AM

Ok, here we go everyone - this should keep your eyes busy for a while.

*** My apologies to the 56k users. I did downsize all the visible pictures, but EVERY SINGLE ONE CAN BE CLICKED ON FOR A LARGER VERSION!! - COOL!
