TransAm GTA

Vintage 'side vents'. TransAm GTA.
More side vents. TransAm GTA.

Umm al Sheif dirt tracks

Hard packed earth & sand. Night running treat. Urban single track trails.

Office chic

New section on the blog - 'Objects of desire'. Four-colour ballpoint pens. Office nerd chic.

JBR towers

Remind me of a graphic novel, but can't place which one. Maus? or Pyongyang by Guy Delisle?

Desert hardware

Spotted this one on a recent night run. Has the look of military hardware. Missing link between Landcruiser 'working pickup' and Unimog.

Sex appeal

"Now you don't have to be born with it", cause you can buy it in Choitrams!

Skateboarding at Jumeriah beach

Enjoying the Winter sun and relaxed weekend atmosphere skateboarding at the open beach in Jumeriah, Dubai on a Saturday morning in February.

GoPro cam attached to the Madrid with a g-clamp, piece of wood, 1AED coin and rubber band.

High road to Khasab

Off-road in the the general direction of Khasab thru Wadi Bih. 72 clicks. Tough going once you hit the steep climbs around 26km, but worth making the push as isolation of the plateau on top is beautiful (even during the annual Wadi Bih relay run). Merci to Dawn and Sam for carrying emergency water supplies.

Dibba trucks

Kings of Leon and Monster Magnet playing whilst cropping & uploading these photos. Anyone else excited about UFC in Abu Dhabi?

Khalil signage

Hand cut lettering... sweet.
