Yeah, still around but not as much as I'd like to be!

It was a photo shoot for the design agency that did me a sponsorship brochure and new logo. They're logo is focused around the two guys sat on their sofa which is normally in the office. Have a look at www.sugarcanestudio.co.uk which has some more pics from the shoot (refresh the homepage to change the pic). Look out for the one in the gravel trap...cracks me up every time I see it!

The logo is on both cars on the bonnet too:

As one of the culprits of this i thought i better comment and say that we had a blast that afternoon and we are still picking gravel out the sofa. Very gratefull to Silverstone for giving us access to the track.

Oh and yes they were actually taken. As if we have enough time to p*** about with photoshop, that takes way too long. How dare anyone suggest such a thing. Now go racing and concentrate on smashing each others cars up.

If anyone is at BTCC this weekend come and say hi. I will be in Martyn Bells garage and if anyone has any cool ideas for pictures that they can organise access and locations to at no cost we will always consider bringing the sofa along.

What a waste of a good track

Hmmmm.....I've got a leather sofa and a fastish car and an empty track.

I know I'll sit in the leather sofa have a coffee and get men to take pictures of me!
