nah still not cool enough weevil man, unless you offer to give haircuts to anyone who turns up? also im out...only a gtst

yeah i get your logic dave and would definitely be in the same boat (33 now arrrgh) except for the womans problems..typical eh? she is prevaricating about coming anyway so depending on what goes down before next friday i might see you on the way there after all..

SHe could be my summertime gal...sigh More bloom jay! Nice framing though

yeah im a bit worried, pretty sure i shared a room with her during the SAU nats and no untoward molestation occured towards either party..sigh. whats all this talk about fur? my chest? i thought i cropped that out damnit.. lol Maxima, im not sure ill need that much tree glue but thanks for the thought. keep them on standby for me!

^^^ farken!! let me try again..

facebook event was a good call, gf wont finish till 5 and thats in balmain..what are the chances of making it to the crossroads by 615? (she has no sickies left..farken) i know sweet F all right? still could be worth a shot.. is dave the only one leaving earlier?

yeah i cant wait. the trees not close enough to the action to bother decorating? maxima hs a special temporary glue that will stop the confetti floating around..at worse i will just get some rope and have it hanging around the trunk like they do at those shrines to protect the sacred tree spirits. I know it sounds a bit hippy but i have seen it a few times in manga so it has an edge of geeky coolness for me, also i have a friend about to finish at the College if fine arts, he decided he needs some models for his latest project.. Kabuki facepainting! looks something like this sorry for the bare shoulders but i did crop out even worse...anyway it takes about an hour and when i told him about this event he said he was happy to come out and offer facepainting in exchange for for sake etc. I have contacts with some other facepainters who also do it pro bono but they are chinese, similar kind of thing but not exactly 'authentic da neh?' what do you guys think? also he is looking for some volunteers to finish his art thing, isnt paying but its fun for a lark and he will of course provide you with glossy's of your own to blu tack to the inside of your toilet door. COFA is in Paddington which is also where the studio is. Of course for the sake event i would bring him out to us but if anyone wants to help out sooner they need to travel there. PM me for more info. cant think of anything cooler than a bunch of us driving out of there with faces like that..getting pulled over on the way home? priceless. Also making some inroads with a japanese couple who play traditional drums. think the soundtrack to Akira. tell me your not excited?

i am also curious to see how that would look, some fine photos in here as per usual guys. Waiting from some more HDR bloom stuff from you dan!

gotta agree with you both, much tougher and panty dropping than the 35 next to it. hurry up cityrail and pay me more monies so i can afford one!

yeah it always blows my mind when i see how big the 35 is relative to the 34 etc..its like they come from a planet where everything including the drivers are bigger. also typo in my last post which i cant edit, meant to agree with you about the lowered 33 looking bawwss like. Somehow didnt type 33. WTF me?! anyway found a few more comparos. love this stuff!

i thought photographers purposely made things wet as it made stuff shinier and cleaner, i know films often have the roads sprayed with water for those reasons. Your right though, the dock location is a little meh. also true re the, does look pretty boss in that pic. as rare as that is

got it off facebook so unless you can find one using the watermark or tinyeye..sorry each to their own and there are some fit looking eighties cars out there (retro jap thread anyone?) but skyline wise i much prefer the nineties models. Just a personal preference though. right so this one isnt really GTR's but..close enough?

Omikuji Omikuji are fortune telling paper slips found at many shrines and temples. Randomly drawn, they contain predictions ranging from daikichi ("great good luck") to daikyo ("great bad luck"). By tying the piece of paper around a tree's branch, good fortune will come true or bad fortune can be averted. something like this could work, Juz, any of your Japan society people able to figure out the fortune telling aspect of it?

yeah there will probably be a few lost looking partners wandering around sutton road and wakefield park that weekend..

details are being worked out but probably twenty ish bucks for a japanese buffet, date is looking like near end of june. right Juz?

still on for sure, Maxima got back to me and is keen to supply confetti as long as we are ok with allowing the event to be sponsored by his paper company, wants to have a sausage sizzle type thing at the brewery too. whaddya reckon juz? up for firming a date yet?

would be in but the missus wants to spend sunday checking out Canberra, some kind of music/jazz festival on.. might have to use the ole sleeping tablet in her cereal trick to get her to wakey!

im in

New thread for stock tips? Now if only I had a lazy 5 or 10k to invest in stocks.. Yeah Marc I see how I Got that back to front with my rant about minimum wages, more of a typo than a misread but the following story about new Zealand opened my eyes up about economies of scale. Had no idea the difference in pop would have such a huge effect on prices even though all the goods are coming from the same factories.. I still believe in a minimum wage being decent and enough to live ok on though that might have something to do with so many of my jobs up till now being dependent on that. Last thing we want is a tax system like the states, the rich are definitely getting richer while the poor sink even deeper into almost 3rd world conditions. No thanks, not looking forward to our next pm and his dumbo sized ears but I spose they can't do much worse..

Yeah sorry, not sure as I grabbed it from a Facebook group. Let you know if I can find out

Sorry Eric, thread is pretty slow and i figured it was just car or motoring related stuff. it would be tempting to copy pasta the entire top gear series going by my logic lol but will try and stick to the highlights and recent stuff that catches my eye. still havent replied properly to your advice on shooting a 'write the streets' style thing, theres gotta be a make shift way of doing that pull back shot with a crane thing they do while playing the soundtrack to the Danny Boyle movie where they have to re-ignite the sun...would moving back slowly and raising a go/pro on that stick you have look even half as good?

yeah thats what im on as a semi skilled public servant for the railways, closed workshop etc but its very average rates compared to proper tradies etc. We are screwed if it ever goes private like Sir bazza is intending.. as for minimum wages being higher in the states resulting in cheaper cars..how the F does that make sense? i know they have economies of scale etc but we are still getting majorly ripped off here. Mostly because people will simply pay up. The internet is slowly eroding that and the government even pulled in Apple and a few others last week to parliament to explain why we are charged so much more fo Ipads etc. still a long way to go though..
