I'm going to do a post about the time I was surrounded by around 30 odd GTR's! Sounds horrific, right? ;)
I had a message from a guy called Max a while ago asking if I wanted to shoot a few GTR's, this sounded awesome, as I have a real soft spot for these Japanese masterpieces. Max was from a well known GTR owners club, Battalion30five.
We had had some plans about doing a shoot for a while, yet it just never seemed to go to plan unfortunately.
Anyway... I had a phone call asking if I fancied doing a shoot with some GTR's. Well I had a shoot during the day, but like hell was I going to miss this opportunity again!!
The plan was to use some areas around Canary Wharf, then head off on a cruise via the City and out on a little run to some tunnels.
I arrived around 5 minutes early, prepped my gear and waited. I didn't know how many to expect as numbers for meets can drop or increase considerably.
A couple of stunning R35's appeared. As I was snapping these beasts, a whole queue of GTR's showed up in sweet symphony with their howling modified exhausts!!
As everyone gathered it was obvious this meeting place was no way near capable of holding everyone. We were lucky enough to be able to head upstairs to a car park, this provided a fab location for some shots!
As time ran out on using the car park, it was time to head into the city! Now this was absolutely insane to see!! I had a friend in my car filming all the antics so I was sandwiched as a sort of "R35 Support/Media Vehicle" in amongst all these modified beauties!
There were crowds of people gathering on the bridges above Embankment having a look, people in their cars, passers by... it was insane!
We reached a location I'd ALWAYS wanted to use, but it's a tough one to use due to police restrictions and safety... Pall Mall!

I didn't follow this lovely lot through the tunnels to their final destination as I'd of shown them all up... and when I say that, I mean I'd of never kept up ;)
I want to say thank you so much to the fab members for being so kind and for allowing me to take photos of their pride and joys! It was a great evening and such an amazing site to see!
Thank you Battalion30five.
