The nice lady taking the pics was awfully serious ... I think it depends on what you are looking for as to what makes a good pic. They are still on here so far as I know but Mark will have posted them n his account! :Typing

They used one pic of an engine bay twice as well, sorry dunno whose it was. In the ferrari-alike Supra article (and, Jesus, that was fugly!) they say it has an HKS Powerflow intake when it\'s clearly a GReddy Airinx. And in the article on the VeilSide Fortune Fat and Furryarse Rex the writer says its on Michelins, and then later when he\'s talking about drifting it around the car park he\'s wittering on about Pirelli P-zeros.
 
Not like I\'m even an anorak who\'s actually looking for balls-ups, but they could make them a bit less obvious. Not so much journalism as helplessly thrashing around on a Mac.
