The brief says "your E30's" thus the implication is you own the thing, I can see no problem using someone else's car but YOU WILL NEED THE OWNERS PERMISSION.

Are they dimples in the paintwork or do you have a spotty arse

Doesn't the reflection have to be of an e30 reflecting off another object? Not things reflecting off of an e30?

In my defence,m'lord,I submit that the photo was taken with a wide angle lens turned on it's side,the r/h gate pillar is reasonably square to shot...
Location is RAF Cranwell,background building is the college where aircrew are trained,the driveway is known as 'The Orange',very few are allowed to drive on it...
