You want photos? HEre you go, possibly the worst watch shots ever!!

Yeh I put very little effort into these and it shows. Used an IXUS50. I need to get a tripod and pull out the DSLR, might attempt that at the weekend.... until then.....

Pepsi dash meets Pepsi GMT



So what do you think of my shirt? I tried to wear the loudest coloured one I had to see how my Pepsi would look next to it. My hand is a bit swollen today, it does that thesedays.... damn torn ligaments never quite healed right!



And here's my GTI Golf - just for good measure

Pepsi rocks!
Very very nice, you must be real proud!

When were you in NY last year? It would be one odd coincidence if you were one of the aussies who asked me for directions!
(hint: If you got lost afterward, then that was me!)

Yeh I could do better now, but limited light, no tripod and not using a flash with is never going to give a good shot! I didnt make much of an effort

Looks like the RPM gauge was at about 10x100 (1000 RPM)? The car could have been on idle.

Nice pic Amanda. Looks like Park Ave looking south from around 59th street. I worked for Disney (corporate) at 59th & Park for a bunch of years. I must have helped hundereds of Aussies with directions over the years!! I hope to visit Sidney next year with my GF. She has friends there.

Oh you are just hilarious... what would we do without your funny wit eh JJ

I hate having my photo taken. In fact I was pulling off the glasses and about to grumble most likely... which is why it's probably not a bad shot!

We LOVED NY, what a brilliant city... stayed 10 days and that nearly wasnt even close to being long enough. We want to go again.....

Sydney, is a magnificent city, probably one of the more beautiful ones in the world. If you can, come down to Melbourne... Melbourne is where all the fun is at
