Tony D Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Goin' Fishin! Look, I CAUGHT one! Now the place was so kind as to prepare it for me! So off we went, and later that evening I ended up here: Dorothy, I'm not in Tennesee! This (these) got to be a dead giveaway! Any specific guesses? I'm not asking for you to pull dyno numbers out of the air... It should be pretty easy to nail down geographically to the city and country, and depending on how closely you observe things, to Highway and Exit... And on another note, this one I found entertaining, almost "Photo not needing Caption": Edited October 24, 2010 by Tony D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 I don't kmow but I want to be there with you!! No you don't---I pulled out of the Philippines the day before Supertyphoon Megi hit, and now I'm told it's IMPERATIVE that I be on a plane to Shanghai in the morning to meet another engineer flying out from PA as we type/read this! Guess where Megi just landed and caused all sorts of carnage? Fujian... HongKong... I can't escape that damnable storm! I know I'm going to get rained on this coming week, I just know it!

cygnusx1 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) I checked the shots for GPS data. Â Only found you used the Nikon Coolpix S3000. Â No GPS data but nice pics. Â Â Edited October 24, 2010 by cygnusx1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernS30 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 That rally car is ever so bad ass. You didn't happen to see what size the tires are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 185-14's it's in one of my photos. Bridgestones 'For Rally Use' Can't remember if they were 85 or 65 series tires. And I DID look for the camera with the GPS option. I decided originally on the S220 becuase it was smaller. Bad decision. The first one failed in four months. I found an identical one in Hiknoe for about the same price and bought it to keep the documentation at the jobsite rolling. It failed. So I picked up the S3000 at Costco because it was cheaper and used the same batteries. To be totally honest, I wish I'd gotten the one with GPS in it for the following reasons (some of which make a BIG deal to me due to this being a work camera): DOES NOT FOCUS IN MACRO WELL AT ALL---8CM is the closest I can be. My old 4300 would go to 2cm and I could manually force some settings to allow closer if I had to... THE LENS IS SHITE!---yeah, it's 12MP, but even on small photos on the screen, you can see the edges of the frame are blurry and out of focus, I put it at the fault of the lens. My 4300 was not like this, but it's lens was as big as the lens BARREL on this camera, and probably twice as long with real glass elements in it. DOESN'T FOCUS WELL IN LOW LIGHT---really for work more than play. Not into my own pornos, but do need to take photos of stuff in the shadows and nothing sucks worse than getting a 'focused' indication and the flash going off....and then seeing nothing but a blur. SHUTTER RELEASE IS GETTING DODGY---this one had a 'delay' in the shutter. I have recently come to understand this is due to having to press harder on the shutter button than either of the prior thee I've had. If it wasn't for the size and funky huge battery, I'd have stuck with my 4300, it was WAY more camera than this series of new ones. If they had one that used a larger glass lens with close-focus capability and half the megapixels I'd be happy. I'd not buy one of these again. I was misled by the stellar performance of my old 4300. Even at 1280X960 which is my normal resolution before, the photos were much better quality. Downfall of the GPS camera at the time was that it was almost the exact same size as my 4300, and I need something SMALLER THAN THAT to be able to pack it all over the world.

cygnusx1 Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Â I love the Nikon high end stuff, but I argue that Canon and Panasonic get better results in the compact cam arena. Â Take a look at the Panasonic FX Lumix series of cams. Â Edited October 24, 2010 by cygnusx1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony D Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 Daikoku wins the cookie! The Nissan Gallery is literally right around the corner from this parking area so it's very easy to spend the day at the gallery looking at the new Nissan Models, and whatever heritage vehicles they have on display, then make your way over to the parking area after the gallery closes (though that is VERY early on a Saturday Evening, we ate dinner in the interim...)

bschiltz Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I've never seen a bosozoku bike or scooter before. Seems like there would be some aerodynamic issues with such a high seat back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnusx1 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) When you have a seat  back that high, you need to bolster it with something aerodynamic.  Preferably something between you and the seatback with dual cushy aeropods.   See fig. 1dd Fig. 1dd Edited October 27, 2010 by cygnusx1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
