In Dan the 480 mans good buy postthere are some photo's of Ursula at night ... i've copied them in below ...

These photo's look ace and got me thinking how you don't see many photo's at night on here ... and i'd like to see some more of 480's!!

Now that the nights are here again, it shouldn't be too hard to find an opertunity ... saying that ... i had a go myself (see below) and it's not as easy as you think ... my digital camera wasn't up to much as all, infact my mobile gave better results!

I suppose i should start off, so here's mine ...

anyone else?

I have raided the photo album and found a copy of some of Lulas photos taken in the dark (see below) but i only used my camera phone-1.3Mb was top quality at one time...

I know the quality is naff, but there is something i love about photos in the dark...almost sexy like lol

Ettore Bugatti how come the two lower bar's of your fule gauge are red and not green. you can just see it in the picture of the interior.

Older type 480s have the two bottom fuel bars in red mate.

Now then,if Jools is getting her brownie out in the dark......hmmmm......does this mean we will get a peek or we wont????

ROO! Get some up of the Charger bitch!

I think the old style where the two lower bars are red is better (IMO) funny how things change over the years!!

exactly ... it's not really surprising, it makes a lot more sense to take photo's during the day, especially on nice days, but I really like the photo's at night, something different i suppose!

thats a good effort!

My celeb has the two red bars, the last time the speedo was replaced was 2004 by main dealer!

Ok Dan wins this hands down.Great pictures really capture the spirit of
the 480!
Heres a quick one will do better when I get a minute

Slight error ,my 480 is in this car park but I got distracted!
Both together would have been good eh?

Beautiful sky there Kev...would have looked nice with a 480 in it! Some good photo's there. Night shot's are nice if you get the right composition-the skies can be very moody with light pollution etc. I did get a couple of the car next to a carriageway at night so the car's stationary but the lights of the cars going by are blurred...Get an SLR and you can become very experimental with your photos!

Found another one too-as i noticed both of mine were from the rear of the car...
