sucks coming from a country that's not known for anything other than tea and cricket hey? ;) Altho of late when talking to some of the yanks who work with our partner companies that they recognise Sri Lanka fromt he Tsunami thing.

one of my mates who grew up in the US commented that 95% of geography and history taught to kids in american schools is only to do with america.

Whereas we got taught all sorts of cool shit like medieval history, the roman empire, rise n fall of general mao, about all the countries, their features, and all the cool shit from there etc.

I'm blaming it on their education system...

i agree

2 become a citizen in the u.s u need to know all about american history.. i guess thats fair enough tho

LOLLL you remeber that!? funny, we would have learned all the same material... B-Corridor ftw

... but yes, never met an American who knew anything about the world... cant blame them, all thier news ever does is report about their own country. Watch 'The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer' on SBS and you'll see why they have no clue

ahahaha its funny cause its true...

we had an american kid at our school in NZ... he got left behind in History and Geography cause he knew NOTHING about non American history.

I hope that Tony Blair is an unlockable skater in the next Tony Hawk game! :P

Loved the map! :O

However, as stupid as americans are, I'm pretty sure if you put together a bunch of similar questions, and went to the streets and surveyed the australian public, the responses would be pretty much the same.

...the only difference is, that the americans are too stupid to know that they're stupid, but with aussies there's always someone willing to speak up and tell you if you're stupid :(

My family used to travel to the US a couple of times a year for Dad's work, and we would go to a lot of dinners and the like relating to Dad's computer company. My sister an I used to challenge the Americans that where on the same table as us to name all of the states and territories of Australia, whilst we'd name the states of the US. we did this about 30 times, and not once did one of the people we challenged (senior management of fortune 500 style companies) succeed in naming all of the states/territories. :laugh::laugh:

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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.
