  I believe this is rare enough? Less than 15 left in SG. A rival with the S2000 and MX5. Juz did a photoshoot for this car, more pics can refer to the photoshoot thread.

  for me, i dun like the lambo logo to be there. it doesn't really look tat nice.

  Haha..I didn't exactly JUST got it..I would say I just FOUND it..
  
  Judging by the external condition of the N73, it's badly abused by it's previous owner too..but luckily the camera and the Carl Zeiss lens still intact and working fine..
  
  Trying to learn to do panning shots with the N73 now..heard it can be done..but very hard..

  I just did panning shot with the N73i on buses and taxi in July.Should have them intact in some bus subforum here.
  Anyway u have to click the shutter and move the camera-phone slowly(90 deg in like 1.75 sec).
  If u time the pan correctly,ur shot should turn out well

  Panning in the same direction as the vehicle is moving?
  
  So lets say vehicle moving towards my right, I should also pan towards my right? Then what if the vehicle moving quite fast? Also pan slowly?

  Yes.If the direction of the road is against you,u rotate counter clockwise.Slowly untill the shot is done,then check if its sastifactory.
  
  For faster viehicle move faster in anti-clock direction.
  I did my panning in a heartland road so i est. speed to be like 60km/h.
  The 1.75 sec is my estimation BTW.Try moving clockwise or anticlockwise(depending which direction) in a slow manner and adjust your movement speed according to your picture's result.
  
  Do it in the afternoon or evening when the sun is bright for best results
  
  This is the best i can pan

  Ya, have to pan in the same direction of the vehicle, of course.
  Move the camera with respect to the moving vehicle, and the speed of camera movement must be RELATIVELY the same as the vehicle speed..

  In order not to disgrace yourself presenting as a knowall in this thread i suggest you identify the car based on the car itself,whether the bodykit and all match the real McCoy.No one want to know whether u have seen this car here and there or that u know everything,and neither does the latter presents as a good evidence.
