I was there last night.

Started queuing at 1315 and got into the Elipse area and by the time the concert started, I was 5 deep from the stage. At 1 point, I Bono was so close, he touched the hand of a girl 2 across from me.

Words can't describe how good this concert was. I've been to ZooTV, PopMart and now Vertigo and I can't seperate the 3 from an experience point of view as I've been in prime viewing points at all 3..

All the favourite songs were played and of course as expected Bono took the opportunity to speak his mind about some political issues focussing on making poverty history and ecouraging everyone to look at www.makepovertyhistory.com.au

It's amazing how 1 person can control 60,000+ people with so much ease. He asked people to pull out their phones and light up Telstra Dome like a Xmas tree which everyone did and then he asked them all to SMS their name to 191221 to support the Make Poverty History charity.

The 4 hour wait outside was definately worth the wait and another event I'll never forget.

MPH isn't a charity :O

went sunday night. Not in the "inner sanctum" but over on 'The Edge' side (where else to be)

I've been going to a lot of gigs lately, and ranging from Lior at the spiegletent, Mayer at Palais, to U2 at Telstra Dome. But this was just un-f*cking-believable! The set was outstanding, the light/display wall, was incredible.

Set-list was great, wish i knew the complete words to some of the 2nd encore songs. I'm a fan of U2, but not a massive one, and i went just because it's 'U2' and i doubt i'd get a chance to see a band that's been so influential, again.

Don't know why Coldplay was getting the gong for the world biggest band, i'm sorry coldpay fans, but they don't have anything on U2 at the moment, and not with shows like they put on at the Telstra Dome.

will remember that concert forever.

    • I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them
    • Wonder if JB Weld sponsored the event lol
    • There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.
    • There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?  
    • Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
