I use Mac OS X. "Like Linux".. but better looking... and no f@$king around to get things working... and the hardware is sex.

I got given my wagon for free...

In my case? Pimp it! I don't really like to drive fast, so yeah. Stylin' for me.

Quick Google failed to turn up anything similar for windows... maybe put a mac mini in the car?

Not my best work, but was still a good day out.

Is it bad, that the first thing that came to mind, when I saw this software is: "driveby goatseing".

specs are out now... V6, FWD, and a supercharged sports version due 2k7, I think.

I understand how you feel... one of our neighbours in Kelvin Grove had a dog that barked 24x7. Royal pain in the ass. Note to self: * When moving, check that neighbours don't have dumb ass mutts to drive you nuts.

Post of the month. Need a :rimshot: emoticon.

The movie is Force: Five.

Oh my god! This has to be seen to be believed. Karate guys. Ninjas. Gun running. BULLS! Bad hair. Worse Dialog. This is the the sort of movie that should get featured on Something Awful.

Shame I didn't get a shot of all 4 Rollas...

The Wagon O' Death was originally named Gisele, as the number plate starts with 951. Plus it's a sexy name.

I had an absolute ball. Thanks heaps to Fook for letting me drive his car.

Is that a Thai Baht? The script looks like Thai, and the temples look Thai too.

I'll get mine up when I get home today. I've just figured that if I can get to work at 8 (easy on the bike so far) I can leave just after depending on how much time I take off for lunch and coffees and stuff, and be home by 5 or so, a civilised time for a change. w00t.

Initially, the 323 vs the Laser. Towards the end of last year, a late model 323 was the top contender for my new car. (of course, i have no money anymore, since I bought the bike + gear, about $5k all up, and not to mention that all the cars in my budget have been sold anyway, but I digress). Pulsars were also shortlisted, but they tended to come in around $11k. A bit out of my budget. Not to mention various Corollas. Good value for money, naturally, but most of the reviews I've seen say that they were very basic cars, and I felt for the same money, a 323 was better value. (Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong). Basically, I was (and will be again once I save more money) looking for a '90's model hatch or liftback, in the 5k-10k range. You could get a 323 with all the trimmings (aircon etc) that fit that criteria 4 months ago, for around 8 or 9k, but they're no more.

Sort of flowing on from "The Beast" thread.. How to the Australian clones of Japanese cars compare? eg. The Ford Laser/ Mazda 323. Mechanically? Cosmetic things like panels and interior bits? I'm just keeping an eye for prospective replacements for wagonodeath, and I was wondering if I should consider the local copies as well as the Japanses originals. (mods feel free to move to off topic)

Another addictive little japanese puzzle game http://www.nozomionline.com/media/puyoroll.html hint: you can double/triple rotate.

I always sign on as an official, and I have adopted a polivy of wearing bright orange tshirts, if they don;t give me a bib. No one has mentioned anything to me about where I sit... most the drivers seem happy to see me shooting. And I seem to have an instinct for trouble, and a good pair of legs. Just ask Tony. :)

Yes, actively staying out of their way is obviously #1, but to get a good shot, a risk has to be taken. In the same vein, you are taking a risk anytime you go near a rally stage. It's all about finding an acceptable level of risk, for an acceptable outcome.

So... have you ever come around a corner, get fixated on something off the track, and end up heading towards it? Where I am getting at is, would it be recommeded to me, as a photographer, to: a) Wear something loud, so you can see me from miles away, or: b) Stay out of hidden out of sight. so that you guys don't lock on an end up smashing into me. Another rally driver once mentioned to me that if you wanted to sabotage someone's corner, tie a bright pink ribbon to a tree... go figure.
