Default Rig Shot Trials 10-3-09 Martin's Going Away Shoot

Well, as most of you know Last October we said good bye to Martin Villanos and his beloved Black Cherry Lexus GS as he rolled up to Andrews Air Force Base, MD. Before he left Bandy and I took some shots of his ride along side his fellow Lexus GS brothers.

In attendance:

Drae86toreno – Martin (GATO's Old Ride)
Veritek – Bing
CarbonGS – Tony
WhitevoMr – Daniel

All of the ATL peeps must have signed this engine cover!





We met up at a Lexus dealership in Atlanta and were welcomed to take pics in their underground showroom floor. That was pretty cool.









Daniel cleaning? WTF?



Wish my garage looked like this!







Classic Martin



Behind the scenes version Bandy Design



Goofy JDM Bing











Messing around lol a little ring around the rosie fun





We didn’t have much time as the dealership had to close for the night so we rolled out to find something to eat



How convenient? Right across the street there was a wing shop

Daniel ordered us 100 wings lol!



Martin got bored while waiting for those 100 wings to cook lol this is the aftermath



He finally sat down with Daniel and took a break



Time to eat











We were waiting for the sun to go down a little





Rig spoiler?





Let’s try some rig shots







It is pretty hard stuff lol. How many Asians does it take to do a rig shot?











Martin – “When is it gonna be my turn?”





I takey da pics lol

A regular rig shot of Martin’s GS



I had to drive with Martin’s crotch in my face to get this shot lol



The outcome



Something was funny lol





Haha I love this one haha





Now there’s a rig shot



What came of that shot



Then we headed off to the Barret Pkwy meet and after that hit up Kennesaw State University to take some pics in the parking deck









Pics of Martin’s interior





That’s all folks! Hope you enjoyed em. This was Bandy’s first time using a rig so not many of the rig shots were posted. He’s got a lot more rig time under his sleeve now so watch out for his latest work at a thread near you haha.
