Olie, if they had wanted good looks too, then the finely chiselled Northern features of Mr Sheavills would have won the day :mrgreen: & if they were paying in beer, then Mr Kingsnorth would have crawled down the phone line :mrgreen: :mrgreen: , Jinx

Absolutely brilliant lads! :thumleft:

So who would like to contact the producers of the Bond movies, I've always though something was missing from the MK1

Jinx, let us now how you get on and enjoy the experience :mrgreen:

I've always feared for the bonnets of cars in photoshoots. Some non-too-skinny "Moggle" usually in heels all over the front of it. The worst one I saw was a girl in Rolelrskates! :shock: I suppose the Mk1 would fair better than most, it's a small bonnet and it's fairly solidly built. Wouldn't you keep sliding off though? Perhaps Jinxy can answer these questions for us!

Well, what an amazing day !! :clap: a lot of it was waiting around, because they were taking cover shots of Elly ( La Roux ) which went on for about 5 hours :shock: , i was made to feel so welcome & part of the team by everyone & as the day progessed we sat chatting & talking like old friends, she even dressed me up in some of the Huge jewelry & glasses she was asked to wear for some of the shots :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :oops: & took photo's of me with my camera, the atmosphere was that relaxed. Elly is 21 years old & her music tastes are firmly set in the 80's, her music is typical 80's electro with a modern feel to it, she was signed to an 80's electo record lable in France called Kitsume with whom she released Quicksand her first propper single on 15th Dec only a few days ago, then was snapped up by Polydor records.
It was Elly's idea to have a MK1 on the album as she has always been a huge fan of the MK1 & in fact i couldnt get her out of my car prior to the photoshoot she loved it so much !! :mrgreen: . The car was pictured with Elly sideways on & photos were also taken through the open roof & from the front screen looking into the car, the backdrop is hoped to have superinposed scenes pretty much like a futuristic robocop type background.
As soon as things settle down next year she has asked me to view any potential cars that take her fancy & even source one for her if necessary :thumleft: , just had an email to say that there will be a signed single in the post as well as an album which will be on sale from March 2nd & an invite to a gig when she starts touring \:D/ \:D/ . Pictures below & full story to appear in the club Mag :thumleft: , Jinxy

Ali G sprang to Elly's mind when she took the pics rather Than Jimmy Saville, but year i know what you mean :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :oldtongue:
Not sure if its going on the front cover or inside on one of the leafs, as most have those little booklets with a C.D these days :-k . Jinx
