Took my GMTiic 25metres below Sydney Harbour!
I recently took my GMTiic 25 metres below Sydney Harbour, absolutely water tight! Didn't even get it wet!

Apologies for poor quality pic, one-handed camera phone!
Covering the speedometer with my wrist. Just need to be mindful of where the speed cameras are - there are 3 of them!
11pm, not another car in sight, had the tunnel to myself

Nice shot! Although a bit blurred, it gives a good sense of dynamism.

Is that a "mature" Carrera you are driving?


PS: redundant question... I did not notice your nickname...

You were holding your phone while driving.
They put you in goal (jail) for that in NSW.

Your next tough challenge towards becoming a TOUGH GUY: Tighten the crown --- put the watch in a glass full of water for overnight stay...
then next morning, look for moisture under the lens....

Yes, how true., BUT, if it was just a camera (without the phone) would be perfectly legal! go figure...

A bit weird that night... but it was just a normal quiet Tuesday night. It seems I was the ONLY one on the road. During waking hours this tunnel is jam-packed with thundering trucks and cars bumoper-to-bumper. Seemed like I was in the tunnel for ages, very spooky, thought I'd emerge into a apocalyptic Zombie wasteland at the other end.
