Pointless photos and random places

Red road.
Red car.
Red sign.
Red dust.
Red corrugations.
In the Red Centre, Australia.

Mereenie Loop Road, Alice Springs to Kings Canyon.
Road is recommended for "high clearance 4WD only".
X4 handled it like a veteran.

Road is on Aboriginal Land Trust property so needs a permit to access.
I think the "high clearance 4WD only" is used as a deterrent rather than reality.
Nevertheless, the Tourist Centre staff in Alice Springs insisted that I confirm that I had a high clearance 4WD before issuing the permit.

Amazing depth of field on those shots Jeff, everything is in focus. Very nice!

Thanks very much for the feedback. The X3 seems to really like the high altitudes and I appreciate the natural beauty

Pretty amazing country out there JC210. Awe inspiring (except for Alice Springs which we thought was disappointing).

Awaiting clearance for take-off.
This emergency landing strip marked on the Stuart Highway, 100km north of Glendambo is for the use of the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
I made sure I could hear no-one coming before I parked in the middle of the road however!

do you have window tints?

Yesterday we did have tiny ///M-meeting. Over 200km really cool country roads

There were around 30 M cars.

Also noticed really nice looking X4 M40i at the gas station. It would have been nice photo with my X3

Dakar yellow on that E46? Doesn’t look like Phoenix Yellow.

Drove to the Redmond Town Center Exotic Car Show. Lots of interesting cars. First time I've seen a BMW Z1 with its doors that go down into the body! There were only 8,000 produced and to my knowledge, there were never sold in the US.
