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

mailman · 17 October 2006, 07:08 PM

Did you go there with Otis?

Uncle-AJ · 17 October 2006, 07:19 PM

Nice try with the watch pics, you will get better as time goes by. BTW nice to see your face at last.

amanda · 17 October 2006, 07:26 PM

Thanks AJ, thats an action shot too...

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

Flyjet601 · 17 October 2006, 07:34 PM

Great pix Amanda.....nice to see a wrist with no hair

GMT II is my watch of choice....best Rolex yet.

ENjoy it and cant wait to see more pix.

amanda · 17 October 2006, 07:35 PM

Thanks Jet, although my wrist is a smidge furry! And a bit chubby, I really need to get to the gym more.....

I hope you weren't driving as well.

Otis · 17 October 2006, 08:37 PM

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!)

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

BiNgO!! We have a winner folks

roadcarver · 17 October 2006, 09:32 PM

Hey Amanda,

Does your GTI have a VR6 under the hood?

mike · 17 October 2006, 09:48 PM

Those photos are a great first try Amanda.

The GMT looks right at home on your wrist!!

Pete · 17 October 2006, 10:22 PM

hmmmm vr6 or 1.8t? i think V is right on the VR6....its for sure an MKIV i believe

Pete

Rockrolex · 17 October 2006, 10:28 PM

Nice pics, Amanda. And to echo Adrian, it's good to put a face with the name.

And congrats on the GMT, even if it is a pepsi. Oh, wait a minute. I did recommend the Pepsi to you, didn't I?

It looks great on you.

C.J. · 17 October 2006, 10:54 PM

Very nice, Amanda

Best of luck with it

Earl · 17 October 2006, 11:06 PM

Great to see your GMT--good luck with it.

howitzer · 18 October 2006, 02:14 AM

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.

JJ Irani · 18 October 2006, 03:06 AM

Thanks a million, Amanda...we all know what a GMT looks like...but now we know what YOU look like. Great to have a face with all your zany posts!!!

Enjoy your Rolex and wear it in good health!! And next time try and post some pics where we can recognise the watch!!

18 October 2006, 03:11 AM

Nice to have another VeeDubber in the fold!

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

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!
