Getting back my freedom

For those of you who know me, you will know that I have not been able to drive legally for a while... still cursing myself for doing what I did, and hopefully have learned my lesson. Anyways... I got my privilege to drive back on Friday, and at 0100 Saturday morning I did what I had wanted to do legally for the past 6 months!... got into my car and drove... albeit short drive... but drive none-the-less.

sitting in the grass like a tiger waiting to pounce... my Type-R awaited...






well... that won't get me far... time to fill up?... rolled down the hill to the servo to fill up, and give my car a quick wash.






$2 later... nice and shiny... yay... ready to RAWR!!!






FREEDOM!!!....

4ONE Day-113-30SEP11

I have missed out many days of uploading... been out of range with no internet for the past 5 days or so. I think I have done as many as I can, and this will be the last post in my attempt to reach 365... I have fallen many many days short I know... but I do not have enough time and do not really enjoy carrying around my dSLR. I am trying to get back to basics and just carry my leica and maybe a small point and shoot... maybe I might resume this project at a later date... but for now... it is good bye to the 4ONE project... I will still be uploading photos on this blog, when I feel the need to... but with exams and other commitments... I need a break.

Leaving you all with this final photo taken yesterday.

Take care...
