Yes, this is the car of which the pink convertible version was likened by Clarkson to a scrotum.

Looks almost as good as a Chrysler Crossfire.

A house in my street caught fire today. No idea about how.

I bought a new phone and had no idea how to use the camera. I thought I filmed the house while it was on fire but sadly no.

Channel 10 showed up after the fire was put out and the lady asked me if I had footage or pictures. The house was completely gutted. I was really pissed off that the video and pictures didn't work.

 

Anyway aftermath

This is Jeremy and his car. We decided to pick it up and move it while he was working.

I know we've all seen it before, but a Holden held together with tape

At Dreamworld and saw this vending machine for Hot Chips

Lady at work, her ass had swallowed a whole stool. Had issues with taking a good photo discretely.

Today on the way home from White Water World I saw this car. I know its a dirty Holden but its the colour I want for Lolla. Yellow pearl.

Ok, as the newbie, I figured I would inroduce everyone to my little collection........

 

This is the AE92 I bought for my wife, she is yet to drive it due to a lack of desire to get her licence, so I'll eventually sell it to fund the wagon....

 

 

I accidently bumped a roo early one morning out the back of nowhere in the hatch......

 

 

This is my old hilux, 2.4 petrol beater that I learned to 4WD in, yes, it's stuck in a dam, and yes, I eventually managed to drive it out.......

 

 

This is my new Hilux, 2.8 Deisel, much more potent, much better on the hills, and it has an LSD! score! traction! Yes, I drive my 4X4 off road.

 

 

This is my freebie wagon, 7K, 5 speed, project car. More to come on this one as it gets done....... Balloons and all.

 

 

This is my old '85 beater, bought it when I blew the clutch in the hatch (couldn't find a sports clutch to replace it), so I just got another car......... Logic plus.

 

 

Belting the '85, I bumped a tree......... backwards.

 

 

Then I bumped a tree......... Sideways.

 

 

Note the leftover tree stuck inbetween the wheel and tyre.

 

 

It eventually ran out of rego, right about the time I found a clutch for the hatch, so I stripped it and made a dedicated beater out of it.

 

 

Uber lightweight high tech dash

 

 

Then we took it to a secret location in the back of somewhere-or-other to belt it relentlessly.

 

 

Then I found a 4WDers hill commonly used to test undercarriage clearance and traction on sharp angles.

 

 

So I drove up it faster........

 

 

And then faster again.........

 

 

Eventually the engine gave up (not without a struggle), so I parked it at a mates place and left it there for a while to decide what to do with it next.......

 

 

Then I took the diff center out, thinking I could weld it up and use it as a temporary diff in the wagon for drifting or something, then I noticed this on both sides....... I'm still going to weld it up for the next beater car anyway........

 

 

That's my little story in pictures, there were many cars before all this, there will be many more to come yet, I hope you all enjoyed....... 8/

And the topic is random pictures, so here a few totally random shots from the last few months......

 

The worlds first ninja cow!

 

 

The worlds happiest P-plater.........

 

 

Had licence 3 weeks to the day + $14000 loan to get a car the parents approve of + acting like a tool (read: too fast around a roundabout) saw a mate of mine modify the front of his falcon with a power pole, justice, cruel, but justice nontheless......

 

 

He knocked out the power to Ravenswood and Waverly for a few minutes, got a nasty welt from his seat belt tensioning thing, and air bag burn aross the face, not to mention whiplash......... 50ish-0 in SFA will do that. For some reason the rozzers didn't believe he was going "about 35"....... lol 8/

 

Toy-Yoda, out!

Plenty of my mates are keen to by $100 shitters, and we've talked about external roll cages etc. Heaps of stuff we could do to them on the cheap.

Just need to find somebody with a suitable paddock for us to chew up every weekend, and the games are on!! :jamie: :hmm:

 

Reckon within a couple of weeks, heaps more people would want in and then you'd start getting enough for decent teams and a roster!! :)

[7shades]

Now, you KNOW that would degenerate into a demo derby within about 3 poofteenths of a second.... 8/

 

That being said, I myself am amassing a small collection of rusty but running shitters up on the family plot for very similar shenanigans :jamie:

[Toy-Yoda[RL]]

Oh score!

 

I can see it now, dozens of Toyota models flying sideways around a paddock trying to hit/avoid each other while a farmer looks on in both dismay and amazement at how quickly and efficiently his paddock gets plowed.........

 

Only problem then would be retreiving all the leftover parts that fell off.........

 

Be epic fun tho.......

[Taz_Rx]

Now there's an idea....newspaper add!! 8/

 

Wanted: Farmer too lazy

to plow his own feilds and

happy for houng houligans

to do so attempting to play

"car soccer" while distroying the

70's and 80's finest japanese

and australian vehicles.

Will supply own soccer nets.

Thanks, and I'm happy to share my experiences with like minded people.........

 

But I really wasn't going that fast....... 60-65 tops I'm sure......... It's just a really steep little ramp.......... (I was concentrating on keeping it straight for the launch due to a iffy landing on one of the previous jumps, plus the engine was | | <---That close to dying by the time I got that last jump in)

 

Hit about 9-10 feet clear air on the first jump picture and about 15 feet on the second pic........

 

I want to go back there one of these days, with a better prepped car, (rollcage, harness, medical crew) and hit it really hard, I want to be able to land, hit the brakes, and still hit the dirt bank in front of me......... I'm thinking 60 feet length, maybe more, so aiming for 20-25, maybe 30 feet under the car straight down. Should look good, but need more power, better traction, and much better safety..........

 

This is the bad landing. (captured off film so please excuse the sheer awfulness of the pic)

 

 

Note the angle of the front passenger wheel......... The impact of the landing threw my head into the B pillar, hitting the bolt that holds the top part of the seatbelt to the body.......... Thank God for the helmet I was wearing, put a dent in the helmet and all........Whiplash for a week after though........
