Loved this idea I saw from @_shotsbytom

I’ve had a lot of plane time or nights in places with no phone service lately, so was a good excuse to put 40 memories together.
Here is part one of two.

Starting with @kouki_sean’s 4:30am S14 shoot - still the shoot I am most happy with the results from.

@mrhachi86’s Levin shot 7 years ago. What a tidy looking thing, I remember sitting in the passenger seat for a few drives and I’m still yet to expereince a car like it.

@adscannell’s FD RX7.

This turned out to likely be my most viewed / well known shoot and I’m often looking back at it.

As you all know I refuse to use any trickery with editing and all of my scenes are real - the poor bastard had to wait 8-9 months for this shoot as I insisted on an exact date and time for weather & seasonal purposes.

@osc7305’s Chevy Caprice. Perfection of a car, and at an abandoned winery. No notes.

@autoshaq’s Datto under the Port Adelaide sunset, what a colour and what a well put together build.

@adscannell back again with the first car I ever met him in - it was a stand out and lonely figure at a coffee & chrome event, being the only car there that wasn’t “muscle.”

I remember that day and the chats fondly, over 7 years ago now.

The first ever shoot with a DSLR camera - @svenmate’s Drift build E30.

Fun fact is I actually had no intentions of ever owning a camera, and it was all Sven’s idea. We worked together for years back in the day and he remembered how much I loved editing photos taken by other people or on video games.

The rest is history.

@tjb.photo’s gorgeous Celica. Perfect little thing, no notes.

Got to ride passenger this day all the way up to @alljapanday classic - I remember the back pain that followed 😂

@_darksammy’s bagged Evo parked on the Stirling Autumn leaves.

Started out with shoots and cruising and now I get to call this guy one of my best mates and a brother.

@yungxsleepy’s 190E build on the main straight the week before the 2020 F1 Melbourne Grand Prix which went on to be cancelled.

I remember making it back to Adelaide just in time before all the travel bans.

@status.seasonal 2020 night out in Melbourne.

Loved this piece of history and

• DRIVERS FEST DAY 2 •

Unfortunately @elliottt.clark had some issues on the first night (thank god for fire extinguishers, so nothing too nasty! 😳😝), so @silvialyfyew headed out on his own until @svenmate decided he wanted to get some doors!

@chayse_paarman came down for his first ever track experience and couldn’t stop smiling the entire time, and got some sick footage of the tandems!

Luke, it’s so hard to believe this is your second time on main track (irl - not including your dreams and hundreds of hours on the simulator hahaha), you blow me away every time!!! I cannot wait to see what the future has in store! Bring on the next one! 😝😋🤙🏼💨

A great start to our Sunday morning at a bustling first Cars & Coffee @affinity.coffee with an excellent turnout and a broad variety of cars (& bikes!), from old classics to custom modded sporty things to super sleek and new. Great opportunity to catch up with a bunch of friends and chat cars 🤩

I did struggle to decide which vehicle to bring 😆… took the ST today, next time I’ll take the Jeep ✌🏼but great excuse to clean and tinker with both vehicles yesterday, any excuse will do 🤷🏼‍♀️😎
