I have a new neighbour. Some AFL player bought the joint next door. Rocked up with his green P's on... $1.8m for his first house [emoji55]

[Birds]

With what they're paid these days he could have that polished in 6-7 years too

[HEKT1K]

What was he driving? 

I'm assuming you've got no idea who it is

Didn't see.. Wife just told me it was green P's
Wouldn't have a clue... Been told who it was but don't remember/care. I do remember he plays for St Kilda though

Took the STI for a roasting down Dandenong tourist road, thing feels like a gokart! 

Once I hit the bottom brakes doing some nice squeaking, bedded dem babies in nicely. Stopped after a while which was good

Ordered a tow bar the other night so I can be a cool cat and tow a jet ski, this counts as first mod right?

 

[Odium]

That's a fkn huge jetski! FIFO IT must pay well

[UNR33L]

LOL nah that's not mine just a pic on the net I found and thought it was hilarious the size of the jetski.

As big as the freaken car 

 

[Leroy Peterson]

I just thought the car was small lol.

 

Do they use those sorts of jetski for towing boats? Tugski

[dezz]

Pretty standard size seadoo...

[Birds]

I'm familiar with the relative size of modern jet skis

They are boats compared to their 90s counterparts, which you used to get thrown off so much more easily at lower speeds

Stability and top speed have come a long way

[TiTAN]

A guy that used to work for us picked up a hks centrifugal Supercharger cheap years ago and found a way to make it fit onto his jet ski, apparently it wasn't fast enough as it was.

[emts]

just get a factory supercharged one:

or maybe you need over 300 horsepower..

but yeah prob not enough..

 

how does 550 hp jet ski treat you!!!!

[Leroy Peterson]

So much power to go slow.... #watersports

[Kinkstaah]

Until you see some of the fast modded boats go around, read something like 4-5G in cornering ability, in a boat. Was like um ok!

[emts]

considering the amount of contact they have it makes complete sense. Unlike a car with 4 small rubber patches they have an entire hull available to them.

but that friction does impact them in straight lines, (thus why they like to get bow out of water)

 

used to watch the offshore power boat racing, the cornering some of them did were unbelievable, but my god the costs involved..

 

[Kinkstaah]

Oh yeah, they are full "pro" things, but I just had no idea that boats were physically capable of turning like F1 cars, ever. Quite eye-opening!

[Birds]

Jet skis turn on a dime, especially the stand up stunt ones.

Scarabs are where it's at for offshore speed boats

[Down_Shift]

Yeah, I'll just stick to my pedalo for dat leg toning. 

[emts]

so checking out the local gym here.

 

is 75$ too much for a membership?

[Birds]

$75 gets you five dozen at Krispy Kreme

You know what to do
