View from the cockpit....

Postby Steve-LPS-Thomas » 20 Jul 2012 20:38

There are people from many Countries on this forum. I took the pic below on my phone on my way to work. Made me think, we all enjoy driving our cars and even posting pics of them. Post a pic and put us all behind the bonnet hood of your car.

I can bore you to death with these [:D]
So I will [:p]

One of my favourite passes, the Timmelsjoch between Austria and Italy.
It's either foggy, cloudy, rainy or snowy up there ...

One of many tunnels in the Swiss Alps ...

Mobile chicanes Swiss style on the Albula Pass ...

Image

Mobile chicanes on the Rest-And-Be-Thankful hill climb ...

Image

And my biggest joy, chasing bikers over the Timmelsjoch (this time foggy) [:D]

I could go on, that's the problem when you always carry some kind of camera in the car and instruct the navigator how to use it before setting of ...

You can bore me with shots like those any time. Very cool, nice thread I'll look forward to more shots for the rest of the forum too. I need to get out and take some of my own.

OK, this is Black Butte, North of Redding, California (first time in 2006 bringing car home, no camera, second time 2011 on way back from San diego). Took the picture my self while I was driving (very little traffic) of this black mountain in the middle of nowhere. I like to think of it as USA's Ayers Rock (Uluru). It is a 6200 foot lava dome, an off shoot of Mount Shasta and while Shasta is snow covered it looks like it should too (although less than half the height), it just looks weird sitting out on it's lonesome.

Have to agree that pic in the tunnel is poster quality! Got the Tr8 on the road now too so I'll try and get a few more. I came up behind the horse and cart on my way to work, I had the trailer on the back fully loaded, I waited till after the bend and then gave her all she's got. The horse didn't know what hit him as I wheezed past with quite probably an inferior power to weight ratio! Gotta love 86bhp loaded to the gunnalls!
