Neville's Pic of the Day

[Dave A]

I will be going to the Top Gear Festival on Saturday

That should be good sport. And at least you can walk there (as a little warm-up for your Sunday hike). I had to navigate my way past the Top Gear Festival precinct today and it really wasn't funny. Two major routes North blocked off

Umgeni Road from Alpine to Goble was a friggin circus of note

The price we pay for such fun and games, I suppose.

I had an awesome day at the Top Gear Festival today, and took over 500 photos!

I managed to trim them down to 99 pictures, which you can view by clicking here.

Hey Neville, had a look at the street race photos. Where were you standing when you took these? I was in the dstv stand and my photos are all plastered with flags, sign boards and safety railings.

Hey Neville, had a look at the street race photos. Where were you standing when you took these? I was in the dstv stand and my photos are all plastered with flags, sign boards and safety railings.

I "accidentally" found myself in the VIP Ultimate section (with my Classic ticket) and took the street race pictures standing right up against the safety railing. I managed to get the safety railing to be invisible due to the high aperture setting I set on my camera!
