Next time we we'll get together to do a legit photo shoot.

Alan

I also noticed when people where doing a double take on our small convoy

At the park one guy came up to me while I was taking pictures and asked if I was doing something for a commercial or something for BMW lol.

Awaiting your DSLR pics ha ha

Kzang · 10-11-2015, 08:35 PM

Something is wrong with my lens where the left side is blurry.. I need to get it checked out. The pictures did not come out as I had liked...

Kzang · 10-11-2015, 08:51 PM

Hah.. I just noticed the F10 driver checking out our bad ass rides on the second photo

kanvas · 10-11-2015, 09:00 PM

Castle bodyguards... no one would dare penetrate through you guys with the mean front fascia and dark kidney grilles. Awesome shots.

Recdog11 · 10-12-2015, 07:59 AM

Im in for the next one!
My machine should be delivered before Halloween!

r33_RGSport · 10-12-2015, 08:30 AM

@twelve535i , I dunno about it.
It only happened once, then the second one was not even as good.
Then I posted the bimmerfest drive up, and no one even have interest.

Its all good though. It is LA afterall, busy life and crazy traffic.

I got crap from my buddy who I use to do car shows with about how my EZPASS stuck out like a sore thumb I ended up plastidipping mine dark charcoal so its a lot less visible now

Kzang · 10-12-2015, 09:12 AM

DAMN Alan even mods his EZ pass! lol

Kzang · 10-12-2015, 09:35 AM

Guys, I recorded a small video clip and it didn't come out as good as I had hoped.. I wish I had recorded the rears of the X5 too.. I thought I would make a quick trailer of our meet..

So I took my Canon 70D into Canon Factory and they have determined that my lens is mis-aligned and needs to be adjusted

Good thing the camera is still under warranty

BayX5 · 10-14-2015, 03:12 PM

Are those 22" VMR's on the Space Grey car next to Alan's?

Alan l. · 10-14-2015, 03:30 PM

^^ Yes.

That's AW305's X5

Seems like there are new NY owners popping up on the forum. Maybe a few more New Guys next time.

sdalpha · 10-14-2015, 11:47 PM

This looks like it was a fun meet! The X5s look great!

When you get it back, it may be a good idea to look into performing an AF Microadjustment. You should be able to find more info, but here's a quick article about it: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/explora/...icroadjustment.
