Guest tempest68 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Lisa and I had a great time in Flint. Got to meet some nice folks, but didnt have enough time to meet everyone. I'll probably do a longer write-up later (or maybe even do an article for the next newsletter). But for now, here is one of many photos we took while there. It was taken at Zehnders in Frankenmuth. NOTE: the attached photo is only 68k, so it will not take long to download/view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyByNite Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I'm setting up a little web site for Flash to display his pix.If you don't mind I would like to post your pic there also. Credit will be given to the photographer, but remember, once it hits the net, anybody can download it. For credits I figured I would just use the name folks use in this forum unless otherwise directed.

As you can tell by the small file size, its a low-resolution copy not suitable for printing. You may also notice I added a copyright statement right in the center of it (look between the two rows of cars at the pavement area). So I'm not concerned about anyone copying it from your site either.I want to fool around with my photos some more. I need to create the low-res. copies of the rest of the picks for anything that goes to the web. I was wondering if I posted low-res. copies of everything I shot, if folks would be interested in purchasing a CD with the high resolution pics on it. I'm not officially making that offer yet (or even sure I will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyByNite Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Thank you. Yours is the first pic posted, that fact and $1.59 will get you a cup of coffee at most conveniance stores.The URL once again is:http://192.148.252.25/~reatta/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Flash Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 FlyBY...I really like the site. I think that there will be alot of other picture takers that will forward their snapshots as well. A single photographer can only be in one place. By combining the "eyes" of several shootists, then a fairly complete and representative "picture" can be presented. Sign me...full of anticipation & eagerly awaiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Lots of the intresting cars. Who Owns the Yellow Coupe with nice wheel upper right. The Yellow Conv. and bad wheels will never make the trick jump over the dump truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Jim,Thanks for the photo-great shot. The Reattas look so great. In talking with the owners, did the subject of "repaints" come up? Do most of cars we see in the photo enjoy their original paint? Just wondering.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering.Steve </div></div>Thank you for the comliment on the photo. I actually have alot more photos that are much better than that one. I just havent taken the time to tweak them yet to be web-friendly (ie. compress the file sizes to make them quickly download for dial-up users).I didnt really ask about the paint jobs. But I suspect that some of cars that have been pampered since new do in fact have their original paint jobs. Our car is the white one closest in the photo with the whited-out license plate. Ours is definitely repainted, because on the hood by the round Reatta logo, I can see a chip and the original paint underneath.Note in the upper-left section of the photo the Yellow Reatta. There never was a Yellow Reatta from the factory. They had custom graphics, chrome faux side-pipe exhaust, and custom seat covers. From what I witnessed, I believe it was the only custom paint job at the meet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EDBS0 Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Don't want to speak out of turn But GM Ross (and it was a pleasure to meet him) has had his Reatta properly repainted by removing most of the glass and anything else removable. Believe it was a $4,000 to $5,000 job but could be completely wrong. mention is made elsewhere on the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
