Did I ever tell you guys about the time I was stranded out in the Gibson desert in my MGB with a flat tyre and no jack .......I didn't!......oh well....
Yep, there I was, hundreds of miles from Birdsville, in my MGB, flat tyre and jack broken. It was a 130 degrees in the water bag (...well, would have been...if i had a water bag...day trip, so didn't carry one...??). To escape my predicament I tried all sorts of things, you know, lifting the car with one hand while changing the wheel....but the wheel was too hot to pick up off the sand.
So, hmmm! predicament. Gazing forlornly into the MX5 my gaze settled on my DS with the Sigma 135-400 attached.....when the light came on....of course! saved! you little beauty!!! Bonza idea!!
So I put the camera under the car, extended the zoom, and presto, the B lifted off the ground, changed my tyre, and cruised back home in time for dinner......
So ya wanna about talk durability mate.....talk to an expert, not a 'pro'...what would they know!!
....and if any of you believe a word of this you need help.
Cheers
