HIN - Dallas, TX 8/6/05

Post by scarr »

Hey all, just came home from HIN at Dallas Market Hall. Was fun, although there were about half the amount of cars there this year as last year.

I was disappointed too, no Daewoo's at all. :( I'll have some pics up in the next couple of days. The guy with the digital cam was more interested in taking pics of women than cars so most of the pics I have now are of really hot women in skimpy clothes.

I offer server space for hosting the pics. :)

I've got around 80 gigs of space available.

There was only one KIA there and I couldn't get a pic of it no matter how hard I tried. There was a constant crowd of people around it because the woman showing it off was dancing and posing for people.

Oz: Know any software that can brighten pictures up better than photoshop? the Digital pics I have came out dark even though I used the flash and photoshoo adds this horrible RGB distortion when I brighten it.

Have you tried The Gimp? (GNU Image Manipulation Project)

That is just about all I use any more, and it is free software. :)

You need to download and install both the GTK+2 package and The Gimp software.

The KIA was a nice metallic burgundy color it didnt have a kit though. However the interior was just beyond belief with how much work had been done. It had to have had like 10 screens in it, one was a 25" flat panel tv monitor.

Almost that exact same color, except more reddish.
