  1. Its modern times, and I love a shaved one.
  2. A ancient millipede was 5 metres long and 50 cm tall and a fast predator. That would scare the shit outta me.
  3. BMW Bring My Wallet
  4. As an aside.. The Alfa Romeo straight eights were two complete fours joined end to end. They did not suffer from the long crank syndrome and proved extremely robust. Post WW2 they were unbeatable for the first two Grand prix seasons, if they turned up, they won. After they pulled out from racing, Ferrari got their chance. The 158/159 Alfetta cars were 1.5 litre and made 400hp plus in race trim. They were the prewar models tarted up for the new rules.
  5. Correction the luxury 4 seaters ones were up to 1350 kg. Power 220hp in race spec. Only 40 of all race car and customer triad cars were made. They dominated road racing in the era. Here is a sexy post war beauty of 1953, now think about what else was available then. Even if shown as a concept in 1973 it would still be amazing. The 6c 3000. Turn up the volume, the sound is erotic to go with the looks.
  6. Just as beautiful on the inside as well. 2.9 l straight eight with twin superchargers. 190 HP @ 5200rpm. A lightweight 2200 lbs/1000 kg in luxury coupe form. 190hp/ton made the road version the ultimate weapon of choice on Europe's roads.
  7. Same chassis and motor aka a racing machine but clothed to perfection in a voluptuous form fitting black dress. Yes, it's ultra rare and more than $20 million worth. These are the hand built supercar of the time, and for road touring at race like speeds, were the world's fastest road car. A Le mans winner in a tasty suit. Only a handful were made in Lungo or spider of this exact version but many variations were available in the late 30's.
  8. Forget your wee willy woodies and movie stars. The car is the star. It is industrial Art in a symphony of form and function that is greater than the sum of its parts. It never gets old but is timeless as a masterpiece. I present a rare Alfa 8C 2900. Winner 1938 Mille Miglia.
  9. For once I agree, That's a shit decision but has nothing really to do with wokeness. More pandering to a community religious grouping, which should never happen. We should either rename to a traditional indigenous place name/ person or to honour a Australian that beyond reproach ie not a politician or mate.
  10. Could be a big scam. However in the future, lots of deals like this will become available. Perfect for converting old cars or even better making big boats electric or hybrid.
  11. Jazz is cool baby.. But when in the mood ..Murder ballads by Nick Cave
  12. Yes, Valentino Rossi was still yet to win a GP back then. It was to get to the Grand prix overnight as the suicidal Ducati had died mid corner and left me stranded. So I returned to Sydney and took the Fairmont with V8. The GP ended as a washout that year, real happy to camp with a car on the end.
  13. Castle Hill -Sydney to Philip island penguin sanctuary 8 hrs 3 minutes. A brisk run
  14. Some of us need it repeating until it sinks in I guess. Not you though Nev, your not a Space cadet.
  15. STD Sexually transmitted debt
  16. Sorry but I guess it was worth repeating.
  17. Your not the only one Nev, sometimes it does seem like a different language or planet.
  18. Your not the only one Nev, sometimes it does seem like a different language or planet.
  19. Your not the only one Nev, sometimes it does seem like a different language or planet.
  20. Your not the only one Nev, sometimes it does seem like a different language or planet.
  21. Roma, the perfect Italian tomatoes. Perfection for cooking and lots of flavour. Not so much for burgers or sandwiches.
  22. Well done Spenaroo. Nice fast restoration. The availability of lots of cheap jetskis makes jet boats easy. If you want more speed just add a bigger bucket of jet ski motor. 250hp anyone?
  23. True, But on a hot 🔥 day the bitumen is 50 C or more and riding is like sitting Infront of a giant heat gun. Add heavy traffic in the concrete jungle and it's bloody hot and sucking hot exhaust fumes. Add proper riding gear and it's easy to cook yourself. Big jap fours also tend to pump the heat onto the rider behind the fairing. Rider comfort seems a low priority for some makes. The BMW bikes normally have vents to direct the air for comfort cooling or warming when needed. At least on the water I get a nice cooling effect when the wind blows. Having said this- any donations of European registered bikes will be greatly appreciated.
  24. Katter jnr is a major gun importer and seller. He believes in the right to have a machine gun but no rights for women's bodies. Very much a trumpian
  25. The biggest problem with the NACC is labour caved in and knackered it.
