"Holidays 2013" so I'd say November.

No backwards compatibility. Not sure why people actually care about this feature. It's not like your old machine suddenly disappears if you buy a new one, and besides the PS2 no machine has ever really done backwards compatibility anyway. The 360 had limited compatibility that was gimped to say the least. I'd rather a machine with no backwards compatibility then gimp a new machine to make it work with old games.

In the plus side, PSN will be doing digital distribution of 'critically acclaimed' PS1, PS2 and PS3 games :)

my ps3 plays 1, 2 and 3 games.

means I only have to have the 1 console plugged in.

and I do play 1 and 2 games on it.

not often, but thats the point.

dont play them enough to have the dedicated console plugged in permanently.

and cbf hooking it all up when I do just want to throw it on.

and you might be able to download it, bit whats the point if I already own it?

Understated? Market share? yes. Critical acclaim? Nope.

Yamazaki has taken 1st at the World Whisky Awards 5 years running now for best single malt and Hibiki has picked it up 4 out of the last 5 years for blended malts.

And yet the Japanese drink their whisky as Mizuwara - 2 parts water to one part whisky in a highball with LOTS of ice.

The 25 is almost flawless. Perfect balance with lovely sweetness off the grains but intense wood flavours from the maturation. Hint of smoke and a touch of peat but not a lot. Mainly dried fruits but at the spicier end of things.

Yep - Japanese whisky produce high quality stuff and have been for quiet some time now. But even the 12yo yamazaki is rather pricy at $85 a bottle (or something like that)

I never put ice - water only if required (usually with the younger whiksies - anything over 18 - usually very minimal to open it up)

or you could pay a smidgen more and buy Glenfiddich 18 year old where a single malt is also aged in the same mix of barrels and using the same process as the Master.

How you get away with charging nearly the same for a 12 year old as an 18 year old when they are aged in an almost identical process is unknown to me... That is some clever marketing.

Marketing depts justifying their existence - very well mind you

I think that Japanese whiskies are way understated from a market share point of view. They are if not already better than some scotch whiskies.

Have 12 yo Yamazaki - very nice - lots of sherry with hints of caramel and sultanas

Yamazaki is beautiful! It's great that it's understated- keeps cost down. :D

I have small ice and big ice. I use ice if it's a warm day and then it's only one small cube to chill a little.

A touch of water opens it up so much more though.

Keen as to get it - just hard to procure in Oz :unsure:

its color is so deep (better fkn not have any coloring in it :glare: ) - read reviews about it even think it was nominated the best SM in the world over 20yo)

Pphhhh........blends - can't drink blends (been many years since I have)

A touch of water opens it up so much more though.

this is a big factor Tony.

Try your whisky in a Glencairn glass (no ice ok) and add a drop of water, cover it up (with a watch glass cover) and leave for 20mins.....then taste it and thank me later.

They do have some awesome models,

Sadly too expensive of a hobby for me, the real car costs me enough to manage as it is...

Yep, heard that. the one above is just standard R32 GTR model and cost me around $89 + $20 postage IIRC.

I have the R32 VSPECII at home also in crystal white but costs me even more, which is why I'm not buying anymore......for now.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
