Central FL smart club featured in magazine

The Central Florida smart owners held a rally in Oct. at The Villages near Ocala, FL. On hand was a photographer who moved us around into different positions for about an hour. Long line, split line, staggered line, etc. The article appears in Ocala Style Magazine for Jan. and can be seen here. Thanks to Harry Robinson of The Villages smart club for setting this meet up.
Oh, yeah - that's me on the far left next to the red/black Passion coupe.

With as many photos as the guy took he should have gotten in at least ONE~! The least they could do is print it for you . . .

Nah... I avoided that guy like the plague... he was creepy. Honestly though... as much as we worked to get that picture I thought you'd be able to see more of the cars.

Not with the wide-angle lens he was using. I kept asking him if we were in the photo and he said yes. Lens must have been a fish-eye or close to one!

We all have to admit it is a nice article even though many of us are not visable. The photographer told me he would post all of the pictures he took on his web-site after the article ran. I checked and they are not up yet but I will contact him and see if we can get access to them.

Thanks Ken, that would be nice to see! There should be a bunch of photos as he was clicking away for about an hour - in between moving all the cars into different configurations . . .
