As I continue my Californian oddysey, spent yesterday in downtown LA, specifically the Fashion District. Then headed down the I-5 to Anaheim for the quintessential American experience, baseball. Here's a few photos:

This bloke was as good as the baseballers. Mind you, he was only carrying fairy floss...

There's a story to this car. I hired a small (compact) model from LAX on Monday night. The computer system was down and everything was done on paper. I walked out to collect my $85 a week compact and voila, here's a brand spanking new PT Cruiser turbo convertible in space #145. "Are you sure?", I questioned the young bloke overseeing the operation? Sure thing he said, and before he could change his mind, I was out of there with a gleaming new turbo convertible. It was fun cruising the streets of LA late yesterday with the top down, but when we hit the freeway (which of course was gridlocked), the fumes forced us to get the top back on and off we went...

Some very nice images there. I love the rich colours and clarity you achieved with the stadium shots.

How long are you off shore this time?

Keep the pics coming :)

ozimax,
I got the same deal as you got few times once I was overthere!

Not surprised me at all.

The last time I was there (LAX), my brother in-laws works for Hertz at LAX, I just walked in and pickup any car I want @ US$35.00/ week back in 2002.

G'day Craig, over until 22nd June. Believe it or not I took these with a little cheap Casio Ex S600 bought on internet over here. Does a great job for a camera that is half the size of a deck of cards.

Take care.

Nice work Birdie, if you can get it! I actually could have taken a brand new Charger but with petrol at $3.50 USD a gallon I decided against it. There's no way these companies can be making much money on these prices, but then again, maybe they are?

Cheers.
