It was raining on the way to work for me this morning, and I was hoping for skids, but traffic shut that down.

Interesting course today. Just had Cameron Clyne present. Truly an aspirational leader.
 


I put up with people from amnesty, red cross and now the cancer council almost daily hounding me!! Throw in the greens, green peace, unhcr, save the forking children and I've well and truly hit my limit for the number of fuckstains wanting me to sign something or give money. Seriously cubts,  :fork: right off.

@ Nik

YOU WIN THE INTERNET!!!!!!!

Epic post, almost made me cry.

The Red torrie is Bob Janes car and is still alive (a mate used to own it)
The red XY (Alan Moffat) is the sister car to the white/green one (Ian [Pete] Geohegan) and was specially built by Ford at a cost of about $300k and runs an injected 351. They are known as 'Super Falcons' and the green one lives in QLD and is owned by David Bowden.
The Craven mild car is Alan Grices sport sedan.
Yellow Monaro is Norm Beechey's.


These cars hail from the golden era of Australian motorsport.

If I told you I was a compulsive liar, would you believe me?

I was waiting for you to show up!

:D

More to come when I get a red hot minute!

Can't believe what Calder park looked like back then. Also, never knew that WA lost their turn at the AGP because Melbourne hosted the Olympics.

Curiosity got the better of me this afternoon so I decided to make a BOV blanking plate to see if I could get any flutter out of le XT

Turns out, it doesn't really do anything at all. You can hear the turbines going backwards but not enough to worry about so I took it off :)

Gotta love day light savings for pointless experiments in the garage!

People from NSW that move up here bitch about daylight savings. Every year the debate comes up on whether or not we should divide the state so DST is active for South East QLD. But its just going to create more problems than anything. It doesn't achieve anything, although I will admit the sun coming up at about 4:00am in the peak of summer does seem like a bit of a waste lol.

All I remember about DST was being able to play outside until later as a kid. Although when I was real young my parents had trouble getting us to sleep when the sun was still up and the neighbours were still playing outside.
