Pondered whether I should post these, but then I tought 'bugger it!'. Inspired by Jeff's religion post

Some pictures of a recent 4wd trip I went on. Heaps of fun.

Take a look & post yer own.


Pic 1: Me in drivers seat, with back seat matey Damian.

Pic 2: A view of the bunyip state forest. Albeit of one valley only. There's a nasty track on the left had side which we had to conquer.
http://solareclipse.net/Channel/p2.jpg

Pic 3: A rather nasty bog hole. Me & my pajero conquering it.
http://solareclipse.net/Channel/p3.jpg

Pic 4: My friend Leeham had his Toyoto landcruiser stuck in a bog. Totally buried, up to the bumpers (he's got a 2inch lift kit on, so that's a DEEP hole).
http://solareclipse.net/Channel/p4.jpg

Pic 5: Same bog, different view.
http://solareclipse.net/Channel/p5.jpg

Pic 6: It's nice & green. Gee I love the Australian desert.
http://solareclipse.net/Channel/p6.jpg

Pic 7: Giving Leeham encouragement for getting stuck.
http://solareclipse.net/Channel/p7.jpg

Pic 8: Turning the car on a steep hill, and running out of articulation whilst doing it. Oh yeah, I was sticking out my tongue to guage air temp..or something.
http://solareclipse.net/Channel/p8.jpg

Pic 9: Leehams cruiser coming through a bog which I'd just done.
http://solareclipse.net/Channel/p9.jpg

Some vehicle specs may be in order for those who care:

Mistubishi Pajero 1990, GLS.
3.0 L V6
Full HI/Lo capability (1.9/1, low / high)
Front / Rear LSD
All Terrain Tyres

Psychotic driver.

Nuff said.

Yeah, my parents had a Shogun (or Pajero as they're known to everyone else) when they lived in Pakistan. They loved it.

It's not a Jeep, that Pajero.

But methinks it's got the spirit of a Jeep. Too bad you can't take the doors off

So that's why people say Daryus looks like Jeff Goldblum...

And, yes, this is, in fact, the first time I've seen a picture of him. Someone left me out of the loop in the past, apparently...

Actually, the Mitsubishi Pajero is known as the Mitsubishi Montero in America.

At least you're not trying this with a Pajero Mini...then I'd be forced to laugh.

My first music teacher was named Victor Montero. Hmmm...

Where lies Bunyip, pray tell? I heard the name in "Charmed" but it didn't help. I love the word...

JeffK: Speaking of Jeeps, we (as in my erstwhile family) just recently got a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Grand Laredo. Cost? $28,000 bucks.

She's a beauty. So, we know about "It's a Jeep thing" here.

THAT's Daryus? Not at all how I imagined.

So let me get this straight. My future White House chief of staff is an Indian-Australian bartender that looks like Jeff Goldbloom?

Hmm, that was rather a big smile. Yes, that's me. Now a Pajero mini would be interesting, with a big set of tyres and some diff lockers it would do it. Though not with the same charisma. Speaking of which, the spirit of Jeep is holy. But if anyone mentions the word grandaddy...I'll be peeved.

This Jeff Golblum thing...are you sure? I'm nowhere near as lanky!

Daryus: It's just the face. And not even that, so much. I never would have thought of it if I hadn't heard others say it before.
