Nine hundred and twenty-eight.

Whats better than a 928? A 928 Convertible with a bit of Koeing or Gemballa treatment.

This is off the tree.

When the 928 came out it was THE porsche. Supposedly soo much better than the 911, but actually is wasn't until the last 928S4GT that the car became quite good.

The rear of the 928 is one of the most unique designs of it's time and the often controversial Butt was loved and hated.

I like a nice arse.

My TA23

As the first car I bought with my own money, this was a POS. I won $1700 in the lottery and this was the result.

I used to drive gently and smoothly through the forests around Canberra in 1992~3 maybe.

Fun Fun Fun.

Split Window

Type in "Split Window" and your search results reveal two of my favourites.

The 1961 VW Bus. "The Kombi" and to a lesser extent the beetle.

And

the 1963 Chevrolet Corvette.

These are two of my favourites.

1.. Kombi.

While my parents owned a Kombi camper, I spent a lot of time sitting up front on a 20L paint drum between the front seats. Safety? What was that.

A Kombi has a Zero crumple zone. Later, I remember seeing one that had been in an accident and thinking. Wow those people died.

Anyway, I digress. The Ute holds a level of coolness. Sooo classic.

The split window versions hold another level of cool with the opening front and side windows.

DAMN! THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN' 'BOUT.

Or MAYBE THAT! YO! MF!

But don't get carried away.

2. The Vette!

The style is amazing, so much going on but it works. 1/2 bumpers, half windows, half deep front and rear.

Revolving lights and double cookers at the rear. Bulbous and pumped, vented and chromed

Whitewalls and those hub caps. Almost the last car with super bold styling.

There's only one thing better than a Split window Vette. And thats a no window vette with a 454 and huge lake pipes!

YAAAAAAAAAAA! FECK THAT!

Mojito

I love 007!

When I was a kid I liked Roger Moore, But when I look these days, I really was overtaken by Lotus Espirit and space shuttles.
These days I am more critical.

Film: Die Another Day

I'll just have a mojito.


1 shot of light rum
Half a teaspoon of sugar
Juice of half a lime
Sprigs of Mojito Mint

Add all ingredients, fill glass with ice cubes, top up with soda or mineral water, and shake or stir well. Decorate with a sprig of Mojito Mint.

D-Generation Aussie Comedy

Drift Hop a Reality

Check it out!

 

After Ebisu opened up the curvacious entry to the Minami Course straight. Drift hop has become reality.

 

I thought it would have to take some hydraulics, but it seems a good ramp will do.

The Testarossa

I saw a gun grey Ferrari testarossa in the shop near my house the other day. Memories of wanting to be like Crockett from Miami Vice during my high school years came flooding back. I went to "Miami" high School in Miami, Australia. It had a bit of a drug reputation also, so there was a kind of connection for my friends and I.

The ultimate however was the KOEING versions including the Evolution. Check the specs.

KOENIG Twin-Turbo 514 kW / 700 HP /690 NM
KOENIG Twin-Turbo EVOLUTION up to 735KW / 1000 PS /940 NM.

I also remember the first time I saw one on the street.

BAM F-----------A---------------T Arse.

But so cool

The have a reputation for great rear end treatment.

because they really make an impression. The car is simply wide at 1,976 mm (77.8 in). Just a shade off 2 meters. Later TR models were the ones to have and became a yuppie favourite. Review

 Targa Tasmania... cool image.

Tim Tam - White

The Aussie Tim Tam is awesome.

No. It's just a chockolate biscuit with some more chock on it. And Very Sweet.

Of course, I love white because I am a white chocolate fiend. I don't often buy them because I simply eat the whole pack. Cold is best, straight from the fridge.

But If I have to eat an original one. Sucking coffee through one like a straw is delicious. The whole thing melts and you have to down it quickly and lick the remaining warm chock from your fingers.

I'd recommend double coat for this as they stay in form a little longer.

Natalie Imbruglia can demonstrate. Double YUM!

Some people call this the tim tam slam, but I just call it, sucking coffee through a tim tam.

The Crust

This hole doesn't seem too bad....

Until you look from above. 60meters Deep!!!!!

It realy makes you realise that we live on just a thin layer of concrete. We cannot imagine how insignificant it is.

In a few seconds, the world changes a little, but your world can completely dissappear.

Man Made causes or ...

Natural. Whatever the cause...

THE world is OK. YOUR world is  FCUKED.

No Class

HEY HEY HEY!

Thunderbirds are FAB!

What an awesome series. As I kid I was glued to the TV.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RzCB3VRruE Still cool!

My Dinky Toys FAB1 Lady Penelope Rolls Royce was an absolutely awesome toy.

Fold down the grille and press down on the front tyres to shoot a large rocket.
Press down on the rear tyres to fire the 4 rear rockets.

I think It is still somewhere. Painted Black.

Many more toys with thunderbird 2 and the 4 pod spent many hours in my bath time.

haha.

Downsize me!

The good old marketing technique of shrink it deceivingly and no one will notice. This one was actually advertised. But the price remains the same??

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VlrL1pQyQo

 

Remember when they wer 40c and now they are $1.40~$2

And check the thickness of chocolate vs Caramel and that fluffy cheap arse filler.

 

Grrrr.

 

Remember when things were cheap and value was deserved. These days, greed, profits and cough cough "passing on the costs of materials" to the customers is getting out of hand.

 

Maybe I'll go to chocolate maker's school. le Chocolatier

I can make 60Billion dollars like the mars company. Profits alone people.

924GTP Le Mans

Finishing 7th overall at LE Mans. the 924 GTP LM version is a bit of an underdog legend. The 924 was always considered a bit of a lesser porsche, front engine, VW components, water cooled.

Over the years the car developed until the final incarnation 924 Turbo Carerra with only 400 produced.
By these days standards, it's slow with only 210hp, but when I tried to buy one in 1996 it felt pretty quick to me. 24K in Australia it was stretching my cash, but I should have got it.

It may have strayed me from my rotary obsession.

Anyway,
Entered into LE mans in the final year of the 924, results show that these cars are monsters.
