Sorry but I'm pretty late into the game with my photos. I actually only ended up taking a few and even among those I didn't get to do as much as I wanted. Anyway, here are some for your viewing pleasure.

I used a Canon Digital Rebel XT. Nothing too-too special but it still does what I want it to.

Thanx man! Great great library of pix! Awsome banner pic (and not because you got mine almost full-on )

I found a pic from the rear of mine from last year before I had the suspension in with those rims on (in 18" form) ... lol ... looks like I have a lift kit in. Reinforces how much more I like them in 17" form with the reverse lip.

No, not the autocross, the pictures (like the one of your car ) that were taken while we were driving to the photoshoot.

I surmise Mitch is a perfectionist, and he only releases what he feels came out the best ... not sure if in addition to that he only works on a photo if the subject states they're willing to pay him for the photo. I know I let him know I wanted to pay for the photo if something came out good. I purchased the hi-rez rolling shot of my car. I think I'm also going to pay about 1/4 of that amount for a print 8X10 of our cars lined up in Hoboken.
