    Here is my last set of New York City pictures. The first three were taken from the 102nd floor of the Empire State building. The first two are looking out at the East Side and the last at the West Side on the Hudson River. The last three pictures were taken in Times Square. I am rather dissapointed at how all of my Times Square pictures turned out, and unfortunately these are the best that I had. The Sbarro's in the last picture is the one that a Ferrari F430 crashed into during the filming of a Nick Cage movie a few months ago.

    Here is my second to last set of pictures with the P4. These were taken in Quito Ecuador on 1/2/2010. In the first picture you can see some of the snowy peaks of the Andes Mountains. The last two pictures were actually taken inside of the crater of the dormant Pululahua Volcano. Apparantly this is the only inhabited volcano crater in the world. In the second picture you can see the little town that exists. The drop after that little bush is near verticle. The last picture with the P4 shows the interior wall of the volcano.

    Very cool pictures and locations, Kevin! I think the Time's Square and other pictures turned out great, and it's awesome that you got it on the equatorial line!

    That includes NY to Quito Ecuador, right? It is really amazing how far this has traveled.

    Also, I am sending the P4 back in the Morning.

    Yup that's an estimate but in the ballpark.

    I'm going off the tools on Google Earth.

    557 days = 13368 hrs

    (85000 mi) / (13368 hrs) = 6.36 mph average

    to 1:64 scale, that would be an average of 406 mph! Covering over 47 million miles in 557 days!

    The P4 made it home safe and sound!

    Its been about 18 months since I first shipped the car out, and you can tell the car has been loved.. and it looks pretty good for having 85,000 plus miles on it.

    I will get my pics, then ship it to Lung Thursday or Friday.
    Thanks again for the great pics Kevin.
