Shot today in the historical port of the city of Regensburg. Nice car, nice location, nice weather. Look forward to editing these shots.

Behind the scenes + location...

Nice shoot, I see you finally got yourself an assistant(looks like a bit of a dork).

I saw lots of these POS back when they came out. I've probably only seen 5 at most in the last two years. Not even your skill with the camera can make me not dislike them.

I love these TTs.  The convertible of the second generation looks better, but this generation coupe is amazing, and the convertible isn't bad either.  The shape looked a little too cutesy on the roadster version, though.  Fun to drive too, if you don't mind the fact that it's not fast around corners, but fun to go around with the back end out by lifting the throttle.

Here's a little preview of what to expect. The image is not quite done yet. Loved the location.

Good-looking guy, right?

Just because it's FWD you're hating on it...

That image will be cropped. I took a few shots where the whole crane is visible, but it will be made less interesting. Stay tuned.

This particular model was a base 180-hp 1.8T with no Quattro, so it'll probably understeer like crazy. Still, a very nice car. You don't see many of these old TT's on the road today as most owners seem to have upgraded to a newer model.
