After A Particularly Bad Week - Something Has Cheered Me Up...


Recommended Posts

Autobots - transform!

Latest trailer with ALL KINDS of energon fueled goodness including some neato airborn transforming trickey by Starscream.

http://www.autoblog.com/2007/05/17/transfo...-trailer-debuts

And, of course - a revisit to Juz's favourite My Little Pony :)

I hope it's as good as it deserves to be.

My only fault so far is that Bumblebee is not a bug, but a GM car.

I know that they gotta save costs where they can, but c'mon.

too bad this means that there will be no Mirage (F1 car), Hound(Jeep), Wheeljack (Lancia, I think) or Sunstreaker (Lamborghini).

You know, I'm probably nerdy enough to try and get some autobot badges made to put on my R32.

I've stopped watching all the trailers as I'm waiting for the movie to come out and don't want to spoil it.

Bring on July 4th already! :)

There was a poster at Village Cinema, saying its coming out on 28/06/07.

We get the movie before America?

Ive seen some transformers stickers appearing on import cars already haha

Man, I'm so hanging for this!

I even went over to my Dads the other weekend to find my box of G1 Transformers & bring it home, all packed up tight some with their original packaging.

Yes.... Im a geek, I know.....

well i was keen to see this when they released the original teaser...

but then i saw this...

a MICHAEL BAY film

and then i shunned it... and now... seeing the cast... its gone back to the back of the movie list of movies i want to see.

And yeah... not making Bumble Bee a bug... is about as gay as as gay can be

oh yeh is that rodimus prime or optimus?? i liked optimus better.

rodimus was a hotrod not a truck.

your thinking of Ultramagnus the other truck im assuming... was a car transport type of truck who took over when Optimus died

A quick check on wiki showed that VW and Porsche did not want to be involved with transformers at all, as they didn't want to be involved in "War toys" Apparently VW were happy to make Engines for Hitler, but not for robots that save the world.

So it seems that the evil GM might have just been a means to an end.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't make starscream into a MiG-27 or something, instead of an F-22 (to replace the original F-15 that all the "seekers" were) because as American movies teach us, American planes are only used by the good guys!

Still. Wish there was an R-34 transformer.

It's funny though. Transformers, technologically advanced aliens. Pretending to be American muscle cars with all the engineering of a toaster.

Ni - Normally I'd point and scream out 'geek!' - but I know exactly what you are talking about so I'll just stay quiet.

:D everyone loved transformers as a kid... wish i kept all mine. Think the only one i have left is Grimlock

"Grimlock angry!"

"Grimlock destroy!"

lol how sad.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
