Default Robert @ Advanced Dyno (pics)

Robert, thanks for letting me come up and poke around your shop - sweet shop, sweet cars, and not as far from me as I thought! I think you have a new customer.

Good meeting and chatting with everyone else there too - though I thought it was weird that one of the guys pulled my girlfriend aside to ask her if I had bought the C5 Z06 only because I couldn't afford a C6, and if I had paid for the car myself or not. Sigh. Guess that's what I get for looking young and having a C5 Z..

Anyways, I took about 4gb worth of pictures, but only a few made the cut. Not the best shots out there, but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out - esp. considering I'm still learning. I'll bring more memory cards next time.

Robert, if you want any more photographs, or have any upcoming events you want some pictures of, I'd be glad to drive up and hang out, and take pictures for ya, free of charge. I'll work for beers (TJ, Inky Pinky, and others - you guys are next, so get the kegs ready! j/k)

Check out the photoset on my flickr page here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kertong...7604074187262/
You can click on "All sizes" if you want the large/original copy.

A few highlights:

Excellent pictures of my Atomic Orange C6. I downloaded them from your link. Do you have any more?

Whooo, more hdr photos from kertong!

Where's everyone getting those cool pixelated license plates, though?

I want one! I mean, come on, I work on video games; it's perfect!

Haha, really? That is hilarious - he was bragging to my girlfriend about his silver C6? He also said the LS engine block I saw in the shop was his being worked on, too. Weird.. I guess there's one in every crowd.

Thanks for the kind words everyone - looking to get out to more events to snap some more pictures!

I want a picture of said girlfriend


Seriously AD is getting tons of press around here and I think that is great. Customer Service is the best, and yes I think Robert buys lunch almost everyday.
