Your hands on the steering wheel

When I took the drivers licence in 91′ I learned to hold the steering wheel this way:

But now I read in the media that this is the position because of the damage airbags can do:

I tried this but I felt that I had less control of the steering, how to you hold the wheel? Ten to two or ten past half four?

PS! Don’t ask how I took the photos in my car, it still kinda hurts. :)

New copy of Volvo

Mazda is proudly showing off their Shinari concept, a coop design between USA, Germany and Japan, it looks quite neat:

But, do you remember the 2007 SC90 concept? This is how that one looked:

Do you think they look alike?

I love driving

Theres so much beautiful to see when driving, sometimes I set the camera to autoshoot dosens of photos when driving through nice sceneries. Heres from a short ride this weekend.

Geek Monday – filming propellers with cellphone

Checking the ice thickness

I am scanning old photos and this one from 1991 or 92 brought back lots of memories. That day we were checking the security on the Pasvik river (between Norway and Russia) and how the ice held. Since I were the lightest one that day I had to go first on the worst areas..

The photo is taken with an old Zenith camera. :)

A cozy store

Wordless Wednesday – welcome committee

PS! If you’re a cat and came from Daisy the curly cat I’m sorry if I scared you – I posted to the wrong linky. :/

A bit silly today

Am I the only one who think media finds the stranges photos of people when they are trying to ridicule them? If I’m right I think this is sad, but then again.. a bit funny. Like this one. John Fredriksen was Norway’s richest man until he chose to abandon his Norwegian citizenship and take up a Cypriot passport. (Wiki) Hes one of the many who made a fortune during the Iran-Iraq wars in the 1980s, the Wiki is worth a read.

80 meters down or 80 centimeters?

When I was a kid and found sites like this I let my imagination fly and pretended it was a huge landscape with large mountains and bolder rocks.
