Was out driving around East of Phoenix (superstition mountains) and snapped some pictures. Post your 'on the road' pics too.

That's a great picture, love the contrasting textures.

lol its scary how clean that is staying even with the surrounding dirt covered ground :)

Another, The old and the new....

A Little later on and farther down the road....

The end of the day.....

And STILL the car is clean and dust free ??????

Very nice!

I gave it an 80mph air bath in between pics!!!

The car and the scenery are beautiful! I love driving in the southwest - long, lonely stretches of road, and great views. Your black RX-8 must be rare in your area. I remember a few years ago I was in Arizona with a black Acura, and almost all the other cars were white.

Great shots

cool pics... the one with the sunset is pretty cool..

Great shots and like your tint.

Nice pics.....wish we had scenery like that!

nice pics. good luck with it.

Nice pictures.

Brothervoodoo, I aspire to come up with some shots as artistic as yours!! Thanx.

Beeeeautiful !

Anyone else have some 'road' pics to post?

I took a quick trip to the lake to check on the boat. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. So what if the last 15 miles are the most awsome twisty roads you have ever seen :)

Your pics are fantastic! About to do the move-to-the-other-side-of-the-country drive myself and had thought of doing the picturebook storyboard thing of the trip. See, now I've got to come up with good stuff, beacuse those were some great shots, S_D! :)

Good choice of colour mate

Unreal shots! I haven't been in Phoenix since I went to ASU

Sea Ray. Nice looking Red. Did you install your own strakes?

S3, I'd love to see someone do a storyboard / timeline with pictures for a long drive. Definately do it!!!

Well, the last time the wife and I transferred out here from the east coast we were on a bit of a time crunch and didn't get much time to take in any sights along the way. This time I've got a ton of leave to take and we'd like to stop and see things as we drive instead of going hell-bent-for-leather. We'll have the camera and plan to take pics as we go along. :)

Went for a little road trip sunday. A few pics just for the heck of it.

Driving east out of phoenix to the curvy roads in the mountains!!!

Farther down the road....after this is where the roads start getting fun. I didn't take too many pics of the roads cause I was too busy driving.

Navigating....

taking a little break.

The Valley Below.....this was a great view

Last one....

Great pics guys.

One of the VW forums ClubB5.com (http://www.clubb5.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=65406&highlight=calender+calendar) puts out a calender every year with pics of members rides featured every month. These pics are taken by various members and then it is voted on to select the ones for the calender. It is a printed calender that is on sale to members .

I think with all these great rides we should look into doing something like this. What do you say zoomers!

Rotary Nut,

That sounds like a cool idea.....very cool indeed. Now we just need someone to organize it. I'm too busy driving to do it. hehe

the view from my house, took this a few days after I bought the car.

Heres mine on Saturday.... I couldnt believe it.... a whole 2 hours that it didnt rain in this country for the last 2 months....... On a Side note: Our Squadran is haveing a "Car" Photo-Op on the flightline this summer where we get to take photos of our cars infront of Our F-16's Will be AWSOME!!

You should contact Wildcard on the Australian forum , when hes not driving his rx8 his flying his F18 AROUND NEWCASTLE .

Michael

Currumbin headlands Gold Coast .

YELLOW ROCKS!!

L&L,

Love that picture....car and beach. What more could you ask for!!

S_d

Out on the road again....snapped a couple of shots. One with me actually next to my car for once. (Thanx to another motorist who helped out)

L&L,

I didn't buy a yellow Rx so I figured I could at least get a yellow t-shirt!. You cant see it well in the pic but for all you spongebob fans it's got him on it saying Booyah!! Spongebob rules. (my four year old says so).

S-D

I also spent 6 years being a Domestic engineer looking after my 3rd son from the time he was 4 months .

Hard work but definetely very rewarding .

cheers

That's why I moved to AZ. I love the surrounding mts and desert. Makes for some great pics.

Huff,

I drove out toward tortilla flats yesterday. Road was a little too busy for my tastes but still a nice drive. I saw you down on warner road on saturday. I did a u turn in front of you. Got to say the brakes look good.

Attached is a redo of Sanguine_Dark's boom town shot.

Enjoy,
Oranje

Hah!...Very cool...looks like I just Zaino'd it. I also like the fade/blurr in the background effect.

And the buildings moved, the sunset reflection in the body is brighter & flared, etc. The eight is a great subject to play with in photoshop.

Nice pics SD.

Oranje

My powers of perception defy the obvious. I didn't even notice the building moved....sheesh. The flare you added looks like it was just washed and polished. glad you liked the picture. Keep playing with pics and show us more.

Very nice, guys!!! :D

I remember a few years ago I was in Arizona with a black Acura, and almost all the other cars were white. In Phoenix lean against a black car in August and you'll understand. An easy first-degree burn.

I love the area and make the pilgrimage to the Barrett-Jackson Auction annually. Mesa and Tempe have nice 'burbs(nothing like Scottsdale of course). If it only wasnt so damn hot for 6 months and their looming water shortage/drought.

Toadman,

Anyone who leans against a black car in August (in Phoenix) gets what they have coming to them. Anyone who goes outside in August in Phoenix gets what they have coming to them. When the air temp in the shade is 120 and the asphalt is around 155+ you know it's time to drive somewhere cooler whenever you get the chance!!!

I live in the southeast 'burbs' down in chandler. Way less pricey than scottsdale and far fewer photo radars :D

Sanguine_Dark - Sweet photos....

Hate to use this word on a mazda page.. but I got a Nissan Pathfider 4x4 and I was 4x4ing with some buddies of mine in the Superior AZ Area..

I'll have some good Pics of my RX8 this sunday!!

Mattman,

Thanks! I checked out those pics. That sure looks fun! (need 4wd now). We'll get some good pics on Sunday to be sure. Bring your camera (mine's broken and being repaired - very annoying).
