Australia outback roads highlights re-edited video (2005)
I re-edited some video highlights of our 2005 trip to Australia. Amazing nature and beautiful desert and tropical forest tracks. It was an unforgettable adventure.

Riverbed walk
Today I walked part of the riverbed. It is still very dry, but plants and wildlife seem to adapt well, though I expect they would welcome some rain soon.

Summer road trip: France and Spain (Taking Jimmy to the Disco)
This summer we packed our little Jimny to see how it would be to roadtrip with such a small car.
Most of our gear fitted inside and the Oztent went on the roof. Would our little Jimny stand the test?

4x4 Trial Valburg: Full size jeep tow rigs
Spotted a nice set of J-trucks at the 4x4 trial event in Valburg. This nice late J10 looked in very good condition.
This lifted mellow yellow J20 looked extremely clean and sported a strange set of wheels to scare away the purists.
A shiny Razor grille sets off the yellow paint nicely.
The smaller vehicles took part in the competition. Team TJ did well on the narrow tests in this nice CJ7.Sunday, 24 February 2013

A nice day for a short Gipsy run
A sunny day, so a perfect day for a short run in the Gipsy. On designated trails and public roads of course.

Geology road video
Here's very short video I made of driving Geology tour road in Joshua Tree National park. As you can see it is a very beautiful easy drive through an amazingly quiet valley.
The Geology Tour Road is an 18-mile, self-guiding driving tour along a dirt road winding through some of the park's most fascinating rockscape.
