Next Challenge: Your TDI on a hill steep enough that you need to be in 3rd gear to drive up w/o loosing speed

Inspiration is the mild-moderate climb I took to get the above photo. It wasn't until I steep out of the car did I realize that it was on a hill side. I love torque :)

DC, that's gotta be some hill! Even in stock trim, I can take 6-7% grades at >65mph in 5th!

I wish I was there right now and could take a picture.. When I drove the Land Rover Discovery Diesel I was traveling in up this street, i thought it was going to tip over.. As in tip backwards :eek:

I think the key is at the posted speed limit. Maybe a speed limit is low enough that the RPMs can't get high enough to get out of 3rd gear at that speed limit.

I think there's one hill around here that I'd be in 2nd or maybe even 1st. (I know I struggled to get up it in 1st gear in the Miata.) Too busy getting ready for Fest, though. :(

Man, I wish I could take shots like this. You must be a clever guy with a brilliant camera. This is a super solid win, very nice work. :)

Current Challenge: (#171) Your TDI on a hill steep enough that you need to be in 3rd gear to drive up w/o loosing speed

We have been having a very busy month! 73 challenges so far in August, absolutely destroying the previous record of 30 in May! So you know, I count by the challenge proposal time per GMT, since we are worldwide. If we set a pace to beat this rate in September, I might consider retiring as challenge history keeper! :rolleyes:

None! Only three were unsolved (officially) and they have all been covered. They are the ones in dark red on the CHL (Challenge History List)

You'll just have to win a live one! :D

Thank you. I've been doing photography seriously for about 8 years, but have been shooting for about 12. Low light & night photography is my favorite genre. Using most any current camera with a 14-bit A/D conversion for the image data, I could pull off an image like that. Software, and knowing how to handle it, matters a bit more. Lightroom 4 makes things closer to a cake walk.

In case anyone is an aspiring photographer wanting to know more about the exposure, I shot that at 15 seconds, f/7.1, ISO 800 @ 17mm on a 1.6 cropped body (meaning ~27mm on a full frame body).

We have a costumed bicycle parade (Tour de Fat) on Saturday if you guys can wait that long. Should be some great shots.

I posted that because I had a parade going past my house not long afterward. perhaps I should have parked in the driveway and won my own challenge after 72 hours?

oh well, with the long holiday weekend, and a few friends, and some streamers, I bet you could make a reasonable facimilie within 72 hours. :D
