Seeking a couple good photos for an online magazine feature

[Chwriting]

Hello all; I'm in need of some help from the TTA community. I need a couple good photos of a 1989 TTA, either sitting still or in action. No car show photos unfortunately, needs to be by itself. Obviously a cool angle or nice background would be preferred.

The photos don't need to be massively high-resolution, but should be 800 x 600 at least with a good resolution. Obviously there aren't many of these cars around so any help is welcome!

And since this is for an online magazine (gearheads.org), I of course need permission to use the photos. Hence why I can't just pick one of the many nice shots floating around the interwebz.

Trying to bring a bit of glory to what I think is the most important performance car of the 1980s. PM links / images or post here. Thanks much for the help!

In what context will the pictures be used? Article specifically about the TTA or something else?

Sounds like a great opportunity to help up the awareness about our cars just interested to understand more; and yes I got plenty of photos of mine I'm happy for you to use.

My contribution, if you like any of them I can send you higher resolution versions just let me know.

And for a interesting and different background ... how about Windsor Castle in England; yes this is where the Queen spends most of her time !

Thanks everyone. Yes that's the article, it was originally posted with wikimedia photos that just don't really sing quite as much as they could.

I don't think you got the facts right. The TTA was the fastest production TA.

Nice job! I think it's great how the TTA and 3rd gens generally speaking are getting attention from mainstream car media now. There have been numerous articles and mentions in the last year. The TTA is finally getting some respect from non TTA people.

Flash back to 2009, when I first got back into 3rd gens with the purchase of my 82 base car; people I know would laugh and make fun and jokes about it constantly-saying I was living in the 80's, stoneage, trailer trash cars, etc.

As the collection built, I always had the feeling these cars would have their day. The first step to increasing value is happening-getting recognized.

I bought my first new TA in 85. I loved the 80's! EVERYBODY had a Z or a TA.

Just throw in some Def Leppard and rock on. Our time may be here with these.

Hey what's wrong with the '80s?? I just saw Motley Crue before the holidays, and goin' to see Krokus in a few weeks! Wished I still had the hair!!
