Great work! But I prefer the color version: looks much more convincing
(I don't know why, but I always see B&W in raytracing as a bit "fake").

BTW, I now remember that I didn't model the brakes on the GS!

Certainly yes! but if I did the background brighter in order to respect
optical principles then we would not see the GS car, so I took some
liberties... you know I'm just an artist... ;-)

Thanks!

The background is made with simple photos mapped on boxes.
Geometry and almost textures of the mini are original (made by Gilles),
however, the rusty on the body is 2d post-processing because I didn't have
the mini uv-maps.

Note that the Watt street (rue Watt) really exists. It is an old street in
Paris (the only one with no houses), with an overpass above the train
tracks.

Hi Thomas ! ;-)
I don't worry for Jaime, sure he will be rescued by some martian gangs with
their green light beam...

Hi Rene, I did get around to replying.  Been busy lately,... and my 
email software is giving me issues.  But yes, permission granted, of course.
