Default Blue Ridge Parkway Trip

Well two weekends ago I went home to my parents to shoot a car a friend was building for SEMA. On the way I decided to take a small detour for about 2 hours onto a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was my first time driving it and I have to say it was absolutely beautiful since the leaves were beginning to change.

The road was a great drive as well however with reading about how large the fines are being National Park Roads I decided to stay relatively close to the speed limit. The traffic was pretty minimal on the road as well so I was definitely able to enjoy it and the F was absolute blast.

I took some pictures of both the amazing scenery as well as got some good shots of the F as well.
























Pics of the F with the amazing fall back drop.


















Like I said I was going home to shoot my friends SEMA build car in hope that we will be able to get it featured after it is debuted at SEMA. When I went out to scout some locations for the shoot I used the F to test the lighting and actually got some good shots that were all done in only like 5min of walking around checking out the two locations I had in mind.

First pic is of the gf wishing we were doing something else rather than driving around checking out shoot locations. Actually she was a good sport since we hung out at the shop for 90% of the weekend so I could continue to shoot the build process I had started shooting the weekend before till they finished on Sunday.

Dang those pictures are awesome. The F and scenery both look great! I'm surprised you were able to stay around the speed limit on roads like that, even with the threat of a heavy fine

I already average about 1 ticket a year as it is and I have already used up that one for this year so I had to be good. To say it was hard not to open it up though would be an understatement.

lol! my gf had the same expression when I had to go take my F to the shop. Clark was installing the Joe Z/ PTS exhaust, so it took awhile to cool down before he could take off the stock exhaust and install the new one.
