Been away for far to long.. Anyway, I'm not dead yet.. Just been busy with work and my new toy (laptop). Out shooting a dragrace again this weekend. Largest I've ever attended. That probably means approx the same as the smallest of any illegal high-school night-drags any of you americans have attended ;)

European Cup beeing run at the local strip this weekend, so there's at least 100+ cars racing, and for the first time ever, I'm gonna see topFuels compete tomorrow =D

Another cool thing though.. I'm in a small team, doing their webpages and some photos. The local newspaper wants to run a story on us, or more specifically, the female driver. And the photographer in the paper found out it would be cheaper for the paper to buy shots from me, since I'm going to be there anyway, and he wasn't to keen on driving all the way up to the strip. So I guess this will be my first paid gig :) _real_ payment that is. Got one earlier.. A signed cd from a band. But better to see some real money from my hard-earned equipment :) He even let me lend some lenses and stuff from his private gear, as he owns a 10D himself :)

So what's been up lately? IanD still shooting "backends"? 10D MK-II the hottest rumor around? "L"'s still the undisputable best? N*KON can go **** itself? Thought so.. Good to see things still the old way =D

And who was the guy who where going to move to Norway again? Did it come through?

See you soon :)

Good hearing from you, vvizard!

Things are pretty much status quo. N***n is still considered the dark side, although we have a couple people who hang out in our forum who've bought D70s. They just can't stand being away from us, I guess.

Who can blame them?

If you've never seen a top fuel dragster before, you are in for an incredible experience. Take ear protection. They are LOUD!

Don't be such a stranger.

Sorry that it took so long to answer (again). I've been away a couple of days now without Internet connection..

belmondo: I will try to be here more frequent from now on :) I've seen TopFuels now =D Incredible!! :) And indeed loud...

daaaveman: Not in military yet. Leaving in 12 days or so.. Unfortunatley no new girlfriend :( Been flirting a lot with one lately though, but first of all she lives like _forever_ away from me in this country, and second, she's in Spain until I'll leave for military :(

aam1234: No, not the owner of the joint, just a clod pretending to know much more than he actually the case, and (when he got his periods) posts far more posts than necessary :P

Good to see you guys :)

Posting my shots from the dragrace over at the share photo's forum..

Glad to see you're doing well. :) I've never seen Top Fuelers run but I've seen alcohol funny cars and even that was an incredible experience! 8)
