Another road trip and Mopar show.
« on: October 03, 2011 - 10:34:22 PM »
Took the Challenger on a 2000km (approx 1200mile) trip over the past weekend. From Wyong, NSW to Mt Gravatt, QLD. Australia.

Not the greatest camera work. Was by myself and was on a limited timetable so I didn't get to stop too often. Most pics are with the camera on auto, being held out the window whilst doing 70+mph.

... and here's some from the gathering. Obviously not all E-Bodies, but they're all Mopar.

Thanks for sharing. Love the down-under Chargers and Valiants.

Did you do any image processing on the shots of your car? Some of them look like the whole car is chrome. I like the effect; I'm just curious.

Yeah they've had some Photoshopping :)

Since Everything was on auto, the standard images aren't the best looking. Had to do something to spice them up. They're not great, but better than what they were.

Doubt it. Drags bore the living crap out of me. Sprinting down the quarter mile is about as interesting as a wet fart.

Would choose an interstate road-trip over a day of 1/4 mile runs any day of the week.
