Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all! Hope that this day is full of joy, laughs and being able to spend time with those closest to you!

I guess we often forget the reason why we have christmas... and are too occupied with the food, presents and more presents :S Christmas is all about the birth of Jesus, and the reason why he came into the world....think about it :)

Happy Birthday Jesus!

Avatar

Just got back from seeing Avatar... what a movie.. a DEF must see!
the animation was crazy!!
We watched it in Event Cinema's VMAX 3D... and picked up these funky glasses There is a caution on the side... "Not for use as sunglasses"... yea like i would try??? I actually was wearing my glasses at the same time.. so DOUBLE specs... 6 eyes

These glasses look very similar to the rayban wayfarer...
you could also buy "designer" 3D glasses which looked very similar to aviators for $25...hmm nah... i dont think so.

1.21.24

Yesterday we trekked out to wakefield again for another bash @ the track... it was sooooooooo hot!
maybe around 35 degrees or so... long shirt.. long pants ...no a/c + helmet..
= die hards lol..

So the 6:30am departure time was slightly delayed as B has some tummy issues, but no matter.. we continued on! We stopped @ Goulbourn for our typical driver bfast fast...
Pancakes, sausage & egg, bacon and egg.. wash it all down with coffee!
the cheery maccas smile!
So we got there.. heard some loud cars...
we thought we were going to be the only cars on the track..
then we saw these bad boys.. apparently they were doing 1.05s... and that was "slow"
This evo was sooooo LOUD!!! crazy
Track temps were VERY hot.. not pleasant at all to drive in..
I did not perform @ all :( fail... however at least i did clock the same time i was doing last round...1.24.24.. maybe the slightest bit faster.. but not really...
K was around the same...
i think the heat really put us off..
However Circuit Hero B showed how it was done..
Not only did he beat his previous time.. but smashed it by 2 secs... getting 1.22.XX..
crazy stuff bro!
A few extra mods... and he was hammering it...
B down the straight
K and i on the final corner
Temps were sooo hot.. that our tyres were melting..
a few hard laps.. then in for cool down....
i dont think i'd try it again in the summer...
fun none the less as a day off work is a day of fun :) haha
congrats again B for the times! good work!
