Here's some bike shots, something different for everyone :)

i didn't know there was a dirt race track just down the road from me, found it the other day. the old nepean raceway. Had some event on, reminded me of the good ol days of bmx.

Hey Erci i was in Queenstown two weeks ago too. I was up that mountain that you took those shots from. Best driving roads up that mountain :)

Haha, you're kidding! We were in town at the same time. I was there from the 8th to the 15th - then shot back to Sydney in time for the Wakie track day! such a small world.

As for driving road, well wife got nervous with being able to see so far down the edge and the ice up the top where the Remarkables Ski resort was. Besides, the Camry rental car was kind of a pig. hehe.

I need an aston. nice rolling shot.

As for the racing ones, the reflection pics are great. very sexy times. the one with two images overlayed? Is it a schooner?

The overlayed image was actualy a stuff up, I just wanted to batch multiple raw files in to psuedo HDR's, instead it blended them all together... it was late to my defence, lol

I don't think manual focus would be an issue IF my camera had the focus thing... I recall an old film camera I used in high school had two half circles that would slide left or right on each other.... They'd create a perfect circle when ur focus was spot on. Do any cameras do that anymore??? Cuz I'm unsure how manual focus could be used effectively without something to indicate.

Hopefully that made sense

Yes I know what you mean and it is actually possible to change it. I have a friend with a Pentax SLR and he changed his focusing screen himself (or whatever that little thing is called) to one that does exactly that (cos he had a lot of old school cheap sharp manual focussing primes he bought cheap).

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
