I take most of the shots for Team Saluki
This year the vehicle is the same, just new paint job for MD as LR appeared to think that coming 7th in Desert Challenge wasn't good enough (we were 5th two years ago) and let me tell you that sponsorship is meagre compared to what Mistsubishi, VW etc through at it - basically parts at cost price if we need them and some other sponsors supply cash for tyres etc.
Engine is a 4.6L V8 with some mods by Lund
Don't come in the summer its 50C + dunno what that is in degrees F, but trust me its HOT
Desert Challenge this year is 9-14 November, lots of action guaranteed :rellye

What a trip.
Gordon, is your nickname Sharky as well? Looks like it is, lol
Any story behind it?

It is Sharky but that name was taken on this forum so used the Gaelic form instead being a Scot (sort of).
Any of you who frequent the LRE fora will know me as Sharky on there as well as ME4x4
All to do with my obsession for photographing Sharks many years ago ...

haha...yeah I noticed that one too.
Smith, those are great shots. You have skills! What Camera are you using if it's ok to ask?
Wow I really wish I could make it out there November but I've got to save up for all the mods/repairs/upgrades I need to make before MAR in October, and for my 3000-mile road trip next summer ( I've calculated about $1,300 in gas alone ). The Desert Challenge, is that an anual event? Maybe I can catch it next year.

Most of my land shots over the past year and a bit were taken using a Nikon D100, and few with a D70 but that normally lives in an underwater housing.
Previous digitals include a Sony F707, and in the beginning I used my F3 and F801 shooting slides for magazine reports on Team Saluki and other Middle East Articles for LRE
