Is it possible to get the entire TopGear track? You can just see the beginning of the hanger where it is filmed, would be awesome to get the entire track!
Keep the pictures following guys, they're awesome! (especially for those of us that have dialup!) |

Area 51
 And just south of area 51, is the US Nuclear testing area. This pic shows just how much testing was done, and there is a lot more in the surrounding areas off the photo. One of the bigger craters, is part of the conspiracy theory that the moon landing was filmed there!

here's some pics of the Nardo Ring in Italy
its around 12.5KM long and perfectly round, and apparently it is banked at such a degree that the driver doesn't need to actually turn!

Pffffft. What's all the fuss about. It looks easy to climb in the pic......ha ha ha.
Seriously though, isn't top of Everset about the size of a tennis court? That looks heaps bigger. |

They finally figured out what the above was: http://www.smh.com.au/news/web/chine...593217781.html "The mysterious man-made landscape recently "discovered" by eagle-eyed Google Earth spotters in a remote part of China is almost certainly a tank training ground." |

now i understand why my everest looks different. in the options i set my "elevation exaggeration" to 2. heights become more clear, but the difference is so big between Shockwave XR8's that maybe we have some other detail settings set differently also, i dunno
here's my everest
