We follow BigCol to the sheds on the North Wharf, where the photo shoot begins with the interior and engine bay of BigCol's Z. While this is happening the rest of the group go further down the Wharf for some personal shoots of their own Z's facing Melbourne's skyline.

Thank you to everyone... who turned up today to lend some moral support today. Here are my photos from today... Anyone want to put a caption to this one? (sorry Doug!) L -> R: DSCM (Grant), Mikey (RedZedMikey), Red32 (Doug), & RobertBarr (Rob): Fingers crossed the magazine shots will turn out to be ok...
nahhh, too much red if you ask me..... you needed some "grey" to add some contrast.. Seriously, nice work boys.. Hey what happened to my SMS to let me know what was going on?? I would have been there for sure. Geeee's, I know what it was. I just didnt fit into the red club.. :LOL: Hope the magazine article is awesome.. Cheers
I saw this in Motor, but kept forgetting to post here! Its good to see someone from the forum got in there. IMO, Motor is one of the best motoring magazines in Australia (along with Speed), usually of very high quality and one I buy regularly. Can't wait til next months issue! Looks like it was a great day out too!
Photoshoot of a photoshoot >>> Was a good day, and an insight into how a photographer works. Got a couple of good places for individual or group shots in the future :thumbsup:. The Herald-Sun will report tomorrow that a new team is joining the AFL - the Melbourne Zedders! First step was interior and engine bay shots. Col and Robert had work to do - hold this here, hold that there. Col had to drive up and down Harbour Esplanade a few times to get some on road shots. Unfortunately the magazine photog was up the road about 100 meters, possibly trying to get his STI in the background. There was a far better background available :zlove: :zlove:. I had hoped the photog would bring his own bikini babes, but it seems I had the wrong mag in mind. 'Twasn't a Fast Fours shoot, dammit. So Col volunteered to be the model on the day. Fitting, I suppose as he is the cars owner. Later, DSCM also volunteered, but the possibility of him in a G-string posing with the cars caused a mass and immediate exodus. Col the model again. Had to get some TT action in the shoot. OK, so its Targa Top not Twin Turbo, but "hold it here please". Col, your car is turning orange ... so sayeth the camera. And last, but not least, I see red, I see red, I see re-ed (take 2). Is there any other colour?
yep, leaving in 20 minutes.. Have to be in beechworth by 4:00pm, so I'll be leaving at about 12:30pm. What a fantastic day for a nice 3 hour cruise, taraga's off.... cant wait... Cheers
HAving to work on Saturday... damn you job! although it looks like I wouldn't have been too welcome in a black, dirty Z. Nice stuff guys, even your amatuer photos look like some of the nicest I've seen, Col did you have a chat about what we discussed? Ben
Here's a few more... Last time I saw Zeds so shiney was at Gilgandra Late edit: Just noticed the appropriate colours for the location... Red/White/Black, Go Sainters! Melbourne has some nice photo venues Jack and Sam offer advice to the Photog. DSCM make the infamous offer... no-one was interested You need to go flat-out for some shots One of these days, I'll learn how to shoot a moving target... Rob seemed a little aloof... As Mikey said, an interesting day for angles and lighting.
Congratulations Col......>> Sorry we had to leave early and missed the rest of the shoot but the kids were demanding to be fed. I can't wait to see the article when it comes out, hopefully they will be a little less one sided then a few that have been in other publications lately.
Well done guys.... and Col, its a shame i didnt have more notice(30 mins) as i would have come up and added another red zed to the collection:zlove: Col i dont think i have every seen your car so clean before, looks bloody brand new:LOL: Looking forward to reading the article. Once again good stuff Max:thumbsup:
Yeah, sorry about that max! But yes that is the cleanest my car has ever been, and it almost looks new again (except for all the stone chips on the front guards / bonnet etc). And so it should - it took nearly 3 days to clean.
ZZZZX (number plate) nice car! Hey who owns the ZZZZX. Could help but notice this car standing out in a crowd...nice job.:zlove::thumbsup:
That's the RZM machine >>> thanks for the compliments. It's not so nice up close (don't look at the interior!), and the rear body is a bit iffy - 3 shades of red. By 2007 when I might have finished the mods (!!!) it should be looking really sweet. Current project is complete revamp of suspension, plus a few little bits of bling here and there. Next year: Wheels and tyres, interior, more bling. 2006: Full respray, Stillen rear bar, Kaminari wing, more bling. 2007: Turbo's, injectors and IC's - if they've lasted till then. More bling. Ahhhhh, who am I kidding, it'll never be finished!
No one ever gets finished! Wasn't it Budda that said "its not the destination, but the journey that counts "! (don't quote me). I love the bonnet, front spoiler and are they Simmons wheels on the front!? You'll have a great looking car when you've finished.
That should be the Zedder's Motto >>> I've never had so much enjoyment out of owning a 'car' before the Zed! :zlove: Just did 250 clicks on a (business) trip today .... OH WHAT A FEELING! (apologies to u know who).:zlove:
