It's not a camper but I loved the photos so I had to share them Laughing

A few weeks back we had the opportunity to do a photo shoot for Japanese Performance Magazine in one of our Evo's for a feature against a Subaru Impreza. Needless to say, we jumped at the chance to have a shoot with a professional.

We went to Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground which apparently is where they do the fifth gear tv filming as well as the odd top gear feature. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best but I still think the car has come up looking really well.

I have to say thanks to Michael Ward who was the photographer and Guy who wrote the article and gave us the opportunity Smile

The photos:

It's not a camper but... MW4_0480

It's not a camper but... MW4_0501

It's not a camper but... MW4_0523

It's not a camper but... MW5_0474

It's not a camper but... MW5_0466

It's not a camper but... MW5_0459

I have loads more statics, but I won't post them all up Wink

The really strange part was doing all of the action shots:

It's not a camper but... MW5_0047

It's not a camper but... MW5_0083

It's not a camper but... MW5_0130

I had to drive at exactly 30 mph (even though it looks a lot faster in the pics) around a foot away from the Impreza as well as around 2 feet behind the photographer hanging out of the back of a 4x4. It was certainly a surreal experience Shocked. Apparently he has fallen out before as well affraid

It was a great experience though, and I really recommend anybody that gets the opportunity to grasp it with both hands.

If you want to read any of the write up there is around 5 pages in this months magazine.

It's not a camper but... 1-24

I hope you don't mind me cluttering here with my Jap crap Laughing

Thanks Kev. That would certainly make an interesting feature, has it ever been done before in a mag?
