Im not even going to pretend like I get what your on about...

But...

Ahhh play well?? lol

Google GO boardgame. It's that game russel crowe was playing in "a beautiful mind" Then he lost and he chucked a tanti. The one with black and white peices that all look the same.

Hmmmm, not as exciting as kittens;

Go is an ancient abstract strategy game which is played on a wooden board consisting of a 19 x 19 matrix using black and white stones. It originated in China about 4,000 years ago where it was called Wei-Qi. It spread throughout the Orient and underwent further extensive developments in both Japan, where it is known as I-Go or simply Go (the name now universally applied), and Korea where it is known as Baduk.

Go theoretically takes place in the feudal age and has as its goal the surrounding of territory consisting of empty points on the board. The rules of the game are extremely simple, easily learned by children in fact, but the intricacies of gameplay can become extremely complex due to the virtually infinite possibilities. The subtle combination of intense concentration, abstract reasoning, and intuition, can take a lifetime to master.

Go is not exclusively an intellectual pursuit, however. It is also a grand aesthetic achievement. As one author so aptly stated, "The unfolding of geometrical patterns, the interaction of the basic elements of line and circle, stone and wood, and the meshing of grand-scale opposing strategies make go an artful game." It is this combinaiton of artistic and intellectual qualities which has captivated players of all ages and kept them in the pursuit of mastery for several millenia.

On that intellectual note, im out of here :P

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
