My B4 was not affected much by the heat yesterday I was suprised, same boost and felt pretty much the same to drive as it does on a 20 degree day, difference would have been very minimal... yay for a good tune

[skillionaire]

Damn, fourty plus is serious. Glad we've been on chill here in the west for once, while you guys can catch some of our regular heat wave action. Probably spoke too soon. ... ! Here comes the sun!

Work is shit right now. Friday night headed down to Philip Island to a mates holiday house. spent the weekend there, drank more than i have in the last 9 months combined.. kidneys are loving me right now played gridiron at 2am saturday... i have seriously nasty bruises that are purple and green all over my body. anyway the weather was crap, drive home was horrible, rain was so hard a few times i pulled off the road. had a bloody close call with another car coming onto my side of the road with no lights on. he didn't seem to notice my fogs or headlights... i now know what its like to hit the grass on the side of the road at 90km/h... not fun at all, thank FK for awd cause it kept me from drilling a fence.

I watched Inglorious Basterds over the weekend.

I haven't but am wondering if I should get a copy and watch it. My parents said it was more of a drama than how the trailer portrays it. Not much of an action flick, is that the case?

[ams]

Nah it's not much of an action flick, but there are some VERY cool (Tarantino-type) moments in it. If you like a good war storyline, as far as Hitler, its great. If your not a fan of Tarantino movies, you probably won't enjoy it that much.

Fill us in, What happened to that magna??

from a post when it happened..


the original link is on Aussie Magna (http://www.aussiemag...ead.php?t=21273) with links to videos and photos, but i will not post them on here. I will just quote the original post.

What goes up must come down yer?

The picture tell a thousdand words - in this case, may extend to millions of words.
A few people here know about it - but its official. There is no recovery from what is left of "The Gold BOOYA Magna"

11am Wednesday 6th July 2005, On my way home from work, accellerating from my fathers holiday park, its a 380km one way trip to Alice Springs, accellerate through to my cruising speed of around 130-140 steady.

Held that for about 10km when i went to overtake a semi - was going to be a tight move as i can see a oncomming vehicle, applied a bit more pressure, but only to around 150-160km hour. overtook the truck easy with more then plenty of room to spare.

minutes later - there is VERY HEAVY THICK black smoke bellowing from the Rear of the car, moments after noticing that, quick looky at the guages show no oil pressure, fuel pressure through the roof and no existant "vaccum" on the boost guage - its gone crazy! - as i brake, the peddle goes hard (no vacuum to help presure the brakes) and the powersteering if finished altho it is still steerable. as the car slows below 60 i see just thick smoke bellowing from the bonnet and bonnet scoop!

i get the car on the side of the road - pop the bonnet and you know how if you opened a door when there is a fire inside? - well, exactly that - a "Gush" of fire and smoke almost blind me - the truck that i passed moments ago has now pulled up behind me, i get my extinguisher (which is too small) - the trucky reaches for his full sized one - within a minute, both extinguishers are exhausted -

What is the worst feeling in the world? - there is still fire - i suspect its a fuel line that has ruptered. - fire is now completely engulphed the whole of the engine bay - what now?

abandon ship

My heart almost choked on my own blood - watching my pride and joy burn to the ground, - and there wasnt a ****ing thing in the world i could do about it.

4 years of hard work, wages and blood sweat and tears, has evolved to a pile of molten metal within 15mintues.

the fire was so intense - two of the 4 rims turned into just puddles of alloy. Everthing the booya once was - it reflected in a chard pieces of metal.

i didnt even have time to take my headunit out etc etc - even if i had a rock to break away the dash board with.

what was in the car - went down with the car. - it was too risky, and only being 10km out of my 380km/ trip - she had a full 90+lt of premium at the fires disposal too..

the last minutes are here caught on a video camera by a traveling tourist. you can here me i the background - but i dont remember saying anything.. i was just in complete shock.

- some of you might ask how the car ended on its roof - well, the police needed to remove the car from the road (it partially on the road) so because the car couldnt roll (wheels, everthing was melted to nothign) they had no choice but to "pull" it sideways - it melted it self into the road the fire was that intense - you can see how intense the flames were by watching that video.

Yup, saw it on the weekend also.
Not what i expected. I don't mind Tarantino but I am a fan of WW2 movies.
I enjoyed it once I came to terms with the fact its not meant to accuratley reflect true events.
Seemed to move a bit slowly in places and turn into a bit of a comedy near the end but still had enough twists and turns in the story to keep interest.
Worth seeing IMO.

[ams]

stuff

Got link to the video?

Worth seeing IMO.

Yeah for sure, i liked it.
