C63 Owner from the UK
I just introduced myself on the AMG Private Lounge, so thought I would sign up and say hi here too.
I'm Keith from the UK and I recently collected my C63 from the factory in Sindelfingen. I took the opportunity to visit the AMG factory in Affalterbach and it was a fantastic experience. What a great start to the ownership of my first AMG.
Since then I've done nearly 2000 miles in it (LSD oil change booked in for tomorrow) and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I will never tire of that amazing noise!
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself here and post a few detail shots I have taken:

I hope everyone is well.
Thanks,

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.
JimmyR - they're the standard 18" wheels. Here's a photo from the factory collection:

Thanks.
Car in a tunnel. Camera set to expose for the wheel so the light outside blows out to very bright / white. Exposure time was 0.6 seconds, so drove the car somewhere below 10mph and triggered the camera remotely. Camera was fixed to the bodywork with a Manfrotto 241FB Pump Cup and positioned using a Manfrotto Magic Arm.
Cheers.

I've been interested in photography as a hobby for about five years now but, apart from the odd snap at rallies in the Welsh forests, these are my first proper "automotive" shots. I recently watched some video tutorials on Kelby Training by automotive photographer Tim Wallace. When I picked up my C63, I thought I'd give it a try. I'm enjoying it so far, but maybe not as much as actually driving the beast.
Here's another one similar to the one above. It was actually the test shot on my driveway before I set off and took the one above in the tunnel. I thought I'd post it up as it reminded me of spending far too many hours playing Colin McRae Rally ... "Caution! Through gate."

Thanks again.

A few more from my 52 project (Photo a week for a year):
The last few weeks have all been car related so thought I'd post them up here:
