:cry: Some of us have all the fun.

There are some great photos there.

The Ambu-cycle looks to have some fairly nice SRAM kit on. Recons up the front end, not sure about the brakes, Sram X.9? for the rear derailleur but I can't make out the frame which seems to have been de-badged and looks older than most of the components.

Great pictures Zeb!
love the stickers in the chopper! :P.
Grand Prix rescue with the SES would be interesting, that's for sure.

Thanks guys for the kind words, I only took 768 pics on Thursday and 951 today. Yay for an 8 gig CompactFlash card ;)

Now that's one seriously long wheelbase F350 :P

I'm trying to behave myself, using my mobile phone as a modem, so don't want to push too much data. Will see what else I've got to share later :)

I seem to remember the Hummer and Jeep were part of a "raising the profile" kind of thing used at motorsport and the tennis etc. The AFP had a couple of overcooked HSV and FPV cars for summernats work in Canberra.

Nah he was a wuss, he just did a low flyover.

The Roulettes put on a good show as usual, as did a couple of the Army's Blackhawk helicopters and an F/A-18.

Great photos!

I love the VICPOL SS Sedan, I wish we could get V8's back here! I think the lightbar and livery lets it down alot tho.

What kind of camera did you take all the photo's on, they came out amazing!
