Yes just lucky, mind you I did have it all set up before hand (manually
focussed etc..), so just brought everyone out positioned them and then
shot 4 or 5 times before then setting the timer and joining them for the
last one, took less than 5 mins in total, maybe that helped keep them
focussed or the joke was cracked at just the right time.
The Jag is back with the car hire company, it was a shame it rained all
weekend, that coupled with the fact it was a weekend for my mum meant I
had little time to drive the car except from airport to my home town and
then a couple of short demonstration rides. It was nice, fancy and
different but not a car I would like to drive everyday.
