I could have used them at Sandown today. Major brake fade by the end of the day.

Missed you. Can't believe you piked

Watched a Ferrari leave the circuit at probably 150km/hr and go straight through the sand trap. Then to make matters worse come straight back on the track and spread debry over 1/3 of the track. Luke had to close the circuit for a lot of sweeping

Lots of spinning Porsches today. Was like a ballet

Correct...never curbed one.

I had one fall off my Charger at 100kph once. Broke four studs as it went. I dug a hole under it, got the jack under, jacked it up, nicked a nut off one of the other wheels, and drove five kays into the next country town at walking pace. One wheelnut securing the wheel.

The local mechanic wacked a few studs in and I was on my way. Guess what? The mag survived without a scratch .

The only time you should worry about Karma is when Karma's 6 foot 6, weighs 300 pounds and just caught you in a threesome with his wife and mother!

Vasectomy is pretty cheap

Actually, if you can wait, we'll get a couple of the Drs to do it for free at the next Nats

It's not that bad.

And better than more children.

If you want real terror - have your eyes lasered. You can actually smell your eyeball burning during the procedure.

How not to put sticker yourself

This is a real warning of those who love to put sticker on your car

Please study the following bad example.

If they are putting money for racing, should get someone that custom cut all the sticker and put them nicely

What a ruin to the Pearl White
