And this is my truck at Joeshua Tree National Park in Southern California, it's hard to see but there's a mountain bike hanging in the back of the truck...It was really strange to bike in the middle of the desert:

I wasn't going to say cos I was obeying the thread rules (!) but hey, well done Sin.
Can I pls ask for some details about the shot - eg what kit, what lens, what conditions, filters etc? Oh, and if there's a hi-res anywere on the net, I too would be interested :-) Sword ps - here's a link to a pic so I don't get slapped :-)  __________________ 2002 UZJ100 series "Amazon" v8 with AHC etc Converted to run on LPG in wonderful WALES, UK.

Sin, tell the story dude.
You need to post Pics and info of your rig in the GARAGE section - good for us chaps that is hoping to get a 100 soon (oogle oogle). Here is a picture I picked up from the Net - not a offroading picture for sure but LC 100 series at that. Im not sure what quarter panel was saved though. __________________ Alan 95 FZJ80 Last edited by Bluto; 09-26-07 at 12:51 AM. |

Ok... since you insist  Technical aspects aside ( PM me if you would like to know how I captured and processed this unusual shot) ... Stick with the story !! Last night, around 8PM or so, I noticed some flashes out the window and then what sounded like my roof starting to blow off.. ( now THAT got my attention) I knew that this meant only one thing... I`LL DRIVE TO THE DESERT AND TRY TO GET HIT BY LIGHTNING !! I hopped in my trusty 100 w/camera ready, and tore off... straight into the storm. The wind was blowing sideways across the road @ 50-60 MPH, and once up on the highway, gusts at times were even higher as small rocks and debris slammed against my rig  I (in usual fashion) drove like an idiot, sliding and skidding across the desert trying to get to a good "spot" to view the light show...Running through whoop-de-doos at break-neck speeds ( in fact ..uh lets just say my tires left the ground on MANY occasions !) This was a 45 minute thrill ride... After stopping and taking some pics, Yes I had to get my 100 in a few , It got VERY tense as lightning was striking the ground so close to me that my hair was raising on my arms Time to retreat to my vehicle.I got in, and dialed my girlfriends cell-phone , which..as always was either off or under a pillow or something "silly" like that  So I proceeded back towards the highway at basically the same pace as I did going out ( WOO-HOO!) eventually skidding to the pavement. Dirt, rain and other "stuff" was coming down the whole time, and I decided to check out a few more vantage points off the side of the highway run ning in reverse at times, flipping U`s and driving over berms and such...The storm was intense..really intense !! Finally, about 3 1/2 hours later I returned to my house, where my girl was waiting patiently...She was quite glad to see that I was still alive because she was watching the storm out the windows thinking... Only an idiot would go out in this... She was right Well to make a long story longer... She said that I couldnt get a hold of her because she had left her purse and cell @ work earlier in the evening.. I wasnt suprised  Here is the good part guys... This morning, as I pulled into my work..the phone rings.. and its her..CRYING  She says " I didnt leave my purse at work...I left it on your FRONT BUMPER when I went to get the mail Yesterday !!" Silence overtook the conversation...... Then she says... I JUST WENT OUT INTO THE GARAGE, AND IT`S STILL ON YOUR BUMPER !! Sure as sh!T ....look closely at the pic I posted, and you will see it sitting on the drivers side under the headlight !! I had NO idea it was there while I was driving like a mad-man !! The purse is a little muddy and a bit soaked, but her phone still works...Amazing !! __________________ 2000 UZJ100 OME 2" HD lift + "L" shocks, 305/70/16 Toyo MT`s , Slee diff drop, ARB front Bull-bar,Slee rear w/carrier, Custom exhaust, AO roof rack and drawer system, Various custom dents and scratches.... |
