With a budget of £700 at the VERY most.. What's the best all round Canon body & single lens that money can buy? Can't be a fixed lens. Lens needs to range from atleast 30-80mm and be sharp as possible. New or used I'm not fussed.
Ino its a tight call & not ideal but it's what I need.
Currently...
The new 200T just comes across too 'soft' for me. Not a true hot hatch like it's predecessors. Hopefully they bring a harder more focused one to the table.
..although I'm yet to drive one!
Actually like the pale yellow! :S
Thanks for the shops james :) although this was the blue I was thinking off.

Could do with a favour of someone who is handy with Photoshop.
I'm possibly looking into a colour change on the GTA, as in a satin wrap. Colours I'm thinking are a satin red, similar shade of flame red. A similar shade but in a blue, also a yellow (like a satin version of liquid yellow). Yellow...
I look forward to the finished masterpiece, I'd just hope it will be worth the hassle, time & money involved. This trophy must mean a lot to you, as from the sound of things ALOT of people would of given up along time ago.
Good luck.
Without me knowing, although it was put forward by a friend. I don't mind but I feel I need to have my name on them.
I dont and never have stamped or signed my pictures. Mainly due to the fact I don't have access to photoshop as I only use my iPad for slight tweaks to my pictures. I don't have...

I'm currently in convo with the guy who owns that GTA on the the alfa forum.. Speaking about alternative wheels ;)
Those wheels are nice but I much prefer the 18" alfa "jet fins" wheels below

...OR I'm debating these bad boy's, 8.75" /9.75" wide!
Cheers.
Yea there is under 300 GTA's in the uk now, iirc only 164 or something 147GTA's. The Mk1 RS's best run was 14.03 @ 99mph, he's running just over 260bhp plus they only weigh something like 1200 don't they? There were 2 Mk2 RS's running to, standard one got 14.40 @ 100mph and the other (420bhp)...
Silly cheap, personally I'd be suspicious if bought as a daily hack, but bargain for track toy. My titanium was just under 100K and part service history and I made money on mine, sold it for £2900! It did have a few nice mods on but still not near enough £2k worth in difference!
Yea desperately! One is missing on that wheel too as the thread got stripped :( doh! I'd of replaced them by now but awaiting my front spacers as you get new bolts with them.
btw went against a itb'd 182 trophy with semi-slicks yesterday @ the 1/4 mile, which was interesting and great...
Epic stuff Russ! I was speaking to mark today about this and sounds like its a healthy one ;)
Are u about Sunday so i can give u back this GoPro attachment?
This morning me & my mech got round to fitting the bigger brakes, 330's with uprated performance friction pads and grooved disks! I painted the calipers the same as the old 305's as they looked brill behind the black wheels (which I'm keeping now btw). Braking power is epic, a much better setup...
Just a little update. Uprated 330 brakes will hopefully be on for next weekend. Haven't touched the wheels as the bigger brakes have snapped me this weekend. Btw Gib that colour looks great!
Another short vid which is more to the point, no tootling about.

Right well I think I'm going to try silver this weekend and see it looks.. If its not as nice as black then il return them back to black! Lol.. You know how the saying goes!!
Iv ordered some 15mm spacers for the front too. Since lowering it a fair bit the fronts are eaten by the arches (alot...
