THE MAKING OF DESERT OUTLAW

El Mirage Lake is a dry lake bed in the Mojave Desert of San Bernardino County, California. The lake is located about 9 miles west-northwest of the town of Adelanto and 10 mi north of Highway 18 in San Bernardino County.

 

 

that's 95 miles from DTLA.....

i was lucky to be invited along  by some great friends 

who just happened to be filming there,

naturally i said yes & hoped into  car # 277.

high desert landscape.

by 6 pm i was on the famous dry lake bed.

 the first few minutes are a little disorientating & take some getting used to.

its a little like being snow blinded...

 driving is just as strange with minimal reference points , a lot of dust & not much grip....

                             DIRT DONT SLOW YA DOWN...

 

dust is everywhere,espically when being followed by the A TEAM camera truck...

 so i did a few runs chased by the camera guys who were rolling for an upcoming short video bit..

                                     Hi planes Drifter

TURBO FEVER VIDEO

A COOL BIT BY THE DUTCHMAN MAURICE VAN DEN TILLAARD.
FEATURING MY VERY EARLY 76- US 930.

TAKE A LOOK

The Topanga spin out...

These are the skidmarks I left behind after spinning Magnus his #277 on Topanga Canyon Boulevard, going south to Malibu / PCH.... After visiting Chad McQueen, having breakfast at the Rock Store, and doing some spirited runs on Mulholland Highway, we went back to Los Angeles on a chilly but nice Sunday morning... I came into a lefthander too fast and the back came around... I won't go into the details here, but we missed the guardrail by an inch... Another fun day in L.A........

For you Dutch readers out there... Magnus in Top Gear Magazine.
