Need for Speed: Shift photos


To start with, I took my brand new Lamborghini Murcielago out for a spin on the Glendale East and West tracks. Got into some mix-ups, but nothing big. I then took some other cars out on different tracks and had varying levels of success.

Then I decided to take my Reventon out on the Dakota East track. Was that a ride! It was a half-oval, with some road course thrown in. You get going really fast and then have to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting either the wall or going into the grass. I managed to brake in time, but when I came to a sharp corner, a number of other Reventons were taking the corner slowly and I had too much speed. I braked hard, but only succeeded in spinning out and hitting another car. I whipped my car around and hit the gas to get going, so as to not lose more time. And I snapped this pic.


After finishing that race, I decided to take my Pagani Zonda R out for a spin on the same track. That was even more fun! More bumping and crashing. And I suffered one of the worst crashes I've ever done.

On the half oval, I was driving high up with several other cars under me, gaining speed. Suddenly a car just below and ahead of me hit a rough spot in the road. It wobbled, then spun around backward and came shooting up toward me. Instinctively, I jerked the wheel towards the wall in a useless attempt to avoid crashing. I snapped this pic just before he hit me.


He slammed into my tail, sending me smashing first into the upper wall, then into the side wall. Needless to say, my car was badly damaged and I was out of the race. 

This week I took two more "official" pictures.

First, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 with the Works package...


And The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition.



Well, that's all for now.
