Lovely pictures, guys. I got an old Pentax reflex film camera with a shitload of lenses and filters as a gift, so bought a couple of books on taking pictures at Amazon. Will post some pics when I learn to use it

@Soup , absolutely love your pictures, mate. They are always telling a history

@Soup, I didn't know you have a Supra?

Oh ic, how do the the two care compare to each other? I never really understand the appeal of the Supra. Don't be sad about replacing the GT2 with the 458 Speciale !

It's like this, my GT2 with tune + exhaust which is a beast at its current power level, is much more drivable than my supra when I was close to 500hp on stock turbos.

There's not much to compare between the two, the supra needs upgraded Suspension kit, LSD, Bigger Brakes, Tires, Bigger Turbos to compete with the GT2.

Steering feedback: not even close to a Carrera S, let alone a GT2.

Traction: GT2 with warmed up tires is hard to catch. Otherwise, they're both ready to go sideways, the supra is just more than ready to bite back.

The Supra's engine and transmission (6-spd Getrag) were bulletproof and never let me down.

Noise: I had a Ti exhaust on my supra from Powerhouse Amuse which sounded just right with a straight pipe + Stroker kit (8,500rpm).

GT2 somehow is very disappointing, despite the upgraded exhaust you need to go full throttle and around 4,500rpm it starts to scream, once you're close to 6,700rpm prepare yourself to upshift. My rev limiter was raised to 7,000rpm after the tune but kind of useless if you ask me.

From my Sunday trip.

We walked down the Vouraikos Canyon alongside the path of the "Odontotos" rack railway.

With life keeping me busy, it's been a while since I've even had my DSLR out. Tonight, I decided to go out to my back yard to take some photos . This is what I came back with:

Past saturday at a park. I used a yellow optical filter on the b&w one; both pictures without processing and taken with my 40 years old Pentax 50mm f1.7 lens.
