take against a dark background. No grass or trees as it's green enough already!

It will show up more against a darker backdrop such as an industrial building or large grey brick wall, or somewhere like Railway Arches.

What about in a multi storey car park or by the beach might be cool.

@Coxy OK matey I shall do this tomorrow! And interested on your thoughts on Daniel Moores photography.If you look him up on facebook you can see his pics of Le Mans too.Real calendar material (phwooaar!)

@ Emjay OK,I will post up all I have taken up to now. Iam also in flat Fenland with about 2 forests in.Youve all seen the foresty one but I'll post up again anyway.
You will all see how this colour can change too in various lights,quite remarkably.

@Willbo Im going with your idea and will hook up with a friend,Daniel Moore,whos an up and coming professional motor racing photographer.He did an excellent shoot of a 480 Turbo in a Multi Storey which I will also share with you all.So piccie heavy here we go!

Actually it is the colour of my snot.

I have sinusitis (BLOODY PAINFUL) and one of my nostrils is leaking bright green snot, almost pus-like in colour.

Well it has just changed to bloody snot, so I'll keep you informed.

I was expecting an hourly update Pimp - maybe you have sneezed out part of your brain...

Anyway, hooking onto Groom's self made proclamation that the car is radioactive in hue, why not treck up to the Lakes and get yourself a moody shot, parked high up with Sellafield or whatever they are calling it this week in the background. I reckon you need to get there for about 6.30am at this time of year to get the right lighting and misty, moody (scary) atmosphere.

Best do it soon - the French are coming to take it all away!
