Man, you have the perfect briefcase and the cuffs !!! Great !!!

And a nice car too. Any car can be the Bluesmobile in one's heart (I feel the same for my Cadillac, nicknamed 'the Bluesmobile', sometimes 'good ol' girl', sometimes 'old mama' LOL Everyone's laughing but I don't care. Let them talk !)

The cylinder-shaped object, on the last 2 pics, what is it ? Just being curious.

That.. would be the only imperfection the handle of the spotlight is stripped. I tried multi tasking and putting those into a PM.. Apparently.. that didn`t work But all in all, its a very good car, Does everything a Bluesmobile should Lets just say me and my bluesbrother have gotten out a few jams with that car.

Everything a Bluesmobile should ? OMG, including vaulting over a drawbridge ? Just kidding.

Be careful, drive safely, like Maurie Sline told Elwood in BB2K.

Thanks for the explanation anyway. I got it now. This car is indeed a Bluesmobile in spirit - that's the most important. What about grace it with these nice 'BDR 529' plates you can find on eBay ? That would give a definitive BB touch to it.

Oh I`m thinking about it.. but I have to say.. I lucked out with my actual plates. CT has been going back to plates without any ring to them. 396 WVL and BDR 529 have that ring to em

Yeah, faster than down the river, for sure !

Eh, Blueblood ? I remember your Bluesmobile knows a lot about going up creeks (okay, large creeks like the Ohio River... okay, okay... LOL)

Guys, I love your company, but I gotta go to another bed than that of a river... Hubby calling ! LOL

Have a nice evening - will find you back here tomorrow.

Let's see if this works...

I'm the Jake in the picture, my buddy Scotty is Elwood. My roommate did the photo shoot for his portfolio...

Odu, you bear an uncanny resemblance with the real Jake ! Especially the one when you're checking your watch.

Well done and nice pics ! Keep up the good work, you and your pal !

(The B&W are great, real great ! Have always thought B&W suited the brothers anyway...)

Thanks everyone for the input. I posted some of the better pics. Here's one we took when I was fiddling with BB Private during the session for photo ideas (hence that last picture of us standing at stairs)...

New photo of Buster and I, followed by one of us with ElwoodJones and our Bluesmobile, both taken over the weekend at the Foxwoods Blues Brothers show! (Review on that posted in The Blues Brothers thread.)




And with ElwoodJones:




A few other photos from the weekend (sorry, no show photos, though one of Zee signing) at my Flickr site.

Actually, I really like that pic, Adam, thanks! Make sure you check out the other Flickr photos, there's a couple more of you and the lovely Ashley there!

And yes, Leo, it was indeed of course! (But no worries, we'll manage to do ourselves proud in Florida in about 8 weeks... be afraid!)
