nice job man when you getting the rotary?

oneshare325 · 06-10-2008, 08:55 PM

Very Nice work on BOTH cars man!!! I did an e93 this week too and your pictures look like it turned out better then the one I did!!!!

Great Reflection shots man!!

The interiors turned out GREAT!!

I am about 5 Mins away from ordering an DSLR!!

So...check this...my makita was making alot of noise so I let my old man look over it and while it was spinning he pushed the lock on the top (while spinning mind you) and stripped about 50% of the gear off!! (I already ordered a new gear, but doubt it is going to work), and I just sold the 3403 on ebay since I wasn't using it!! So I am either going back to the 3401 or buying something else again.....
