Seen this awesome video on Facebook of FG''s doing burnouts and stuff, pretty cool how it's put together.

I love the section of the Orange ute dissapearing then the blue ute coming into the smoke, looks neat

Yes that was very noticeable - and commendable (certainly seems that way to me as an Aussie driver).

I first of all thought, why are those other cars going so damn slow, zis ist Der Autobahn, ferchrissakes! Then I saw the passenger speedo in the Ferrari, and realised the other cars must be doing something in excess of 100km/h or more

Absolutely - see my comment above. Not forgetting the tools who pop cruise control on at something below the limit, enter a prolonged microsleep and hang there in the overtaking lane, and the prestige car drivers who seem to hang in the overtaking lane forever, because they think driving a Merc, Bimmer, Roller or whatever gives them carte blanche to do that

Of course, times like that, never seems to be a around when you need one....

As a fellow Illawarran, I share your grief. Particularly re people who insist on pootling along @ 52km/h on a 70km/h single lane road (George Squires Dr., near the Technology campus ). Jeez, is it so hard to notice a speed limit sign & drive accordingly??

During a lady's medical examination, the doctor says:-

"Your heart, lungs, pulse and blood pressure are all fine..

Now let me see the bit that gets you ladies into all kinds of trouble."


The lady starts taking off her undies but is interrupted by the doctor.


"No! No! Leave your knickers on ... Just stick out your tongue!"

So the bloke at the sticker shop today was telling me about Hydrographics, it is some seriously cool ****. I really hope it comes mainstream, doesn't look hard at all.
