just something that been on my mind a bit after a friend told me what he would like played as he was laid to rest..

so whats your choice of song?..

ive narrowed mine down to a few..

song to the siren by the Cocteau Twins

Porcelin by moby

and The William orbit remix of Adagio for strings better known as the theme music to platoon..

so now the forums are alive again, lets talk dead people

Adagio for String (Samual Barber) is probably the most depressing and yet appropriate piece you can play at a funeral. The William Orbit's electronic rendition is no where as powerful as the original. Take out a copy of "The Elephant Man" from the video store and have a box of tissues near by :D

Another similar piece that's really depressing is "The Host of Seraphim" by Dead Can Dance ( Lisa Gerrard). Who also sang for most of the songs in Gladiator ..

Got a few more but too depressing to think about :D

:):( :(

First song: "God give me style, god give me grace and put a smile upon my face" ........Coldplay. :D

Followed by

Im Trouble by Pink

Well it should reflect your personality :D

AHAHA Dan tupac thugs mansion.. not bad... i was thinking more of a rocky theme for you..

There is no song more beautiful and symphonetic (if theres such a word) as the mentioned above Barbers Adiago for strings.... for those of you that haven't heard it it is amazing..... for all you into the dance scene this was a big trance hit in early 2000 however still made it big without any major beats and still very close to it's original form, if there is every such a song to bring on a tear jerker this would be it, the ferry corsten remix of this is very nice. Also a song by a group called "Hybrid" the song is called unfinished symphony, this is just as amazing.... this would be very close in so many ways on the same lines as adiago for string.. please those of you that like adiago for string find this song... Hybrid is awesome!! Agreed with XRW and simple logic, barbers adiago for strings would be a beautiful song for such a sad occasion.....

Not the most nicest thing to think about yet still an interesting question:uh-huh:

Coolio:-C u When U Get There

P.Diddy and Faith Evans:- I'll Be Missing You

and the on the sider , Mc Hammer:- Can't Touch This

:headspin: do do do do, do do, do do, can't touch this, hammertime :headspin:

adrian :run:

Hmmm I'd have:

Metallica - Wherever i may roam

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

Metallica - One

Metallica - Hero of the Day...

As you can tell, i LOVE Metallica, btw did i mention that i'm going to the concert in Brisbane in Jan!!! :P

A Tout Le Monde by Megadeth.

Most people don’t know it so here's the lyrics

Don't remember where I was

I realized life was a game

The more seriously I took things

The harder the rules became

I had no idea what it'd cost

My life passed before my eyes

I found out how little I accomplished

All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends

I'd love to stay with you all

Please smile when you think of me

My body's gone that's all

A tout le monde (To all the world)

A tous mes amis (To all my friends)

Je vous aime (I love you)

Je dois partir (I have to leave)

These are the last words

I'll ever speak

And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive

I know it would surely break

And my memories left with you

There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing

What it leaves behind is hard

You know the sleeping feel no more pain

And the living are scarred

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
