    March 2020 POM WINNER!

    March 2020 POM WINNER!
    Model
    Roadster
    FFR Number

    Description of Setting
    This pic (and about a dozen more) was takin just north of San Antonio on a quiet rural farm road. I had just finished the paint on my car about a month prior to this photo. Taken with an old Canon Rebel XT digital camera and a 300 zoom to try and get that blurry background affect. This was taken in May 2019 around noon on a nice overcast day for better light diffusion. I did crop the pic for a slightly better framing.

    Cool

    Excellent color scheme. The black on the roll bars and the exhaust go very well with everything else.

    Oh....and those rims look sick!

    I just realized.. I didn't share the Name I gave my car.
    You see .. my wife is not a jealous woman.. except perhaps of this car.
    So, I named it after a Dolly Parton song.

    (not Dolly, but a better version IMO)

    Car looks awesome! My car just went to the body shop, and I plan to paint gray as well, so curious what gray is the body?

    It's a BMW color. It's the same gray they put on the 2005 BMW X5
    BMW sterling gray 472/7; PPG-301540
    Actually.. I ended up with BMW colors on all 3. The black and the silver pin strip too.
