I think that might be a linking mistake. Sure looks like one, because clicking on the first image in his post brings up said naked chick instead of the larger version of the same pic that one would expect. For once the guy who owns that horrible bro-truck I posted in the horrible thread is doing something awesome at his shop:  I don't know where the bed went, but apparently this is the new shop parts-runner, so I assume it will end up with one. kastein fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Apr 11, 2013 |

Lowclock posted:Yeah, don't NWS that or anything. Thanks! I scoured the image I posted for a hidden naked chick, by the way. What the gently caress, imgur? I did nothing other than mspaint a couple of circles. I removed it entirely because gently caress that jazz. Thanks for clearing up the RHD issue. That makes more sense, but now I want to gently caress with somebody's brakes some day. edit: content

Hi, so if you read the post your own car thread you'll have seen this mentioned: Racewars is an event that was put on by Antilag Motorsport in Western Australia over two days last weekend. We had a 1.5km runway on which we had rolling 400 and 800m, and standing 400 and 1000m drag races. It was fun. There were some cool cars:   Untitled by Terry.Roberts, on Flickr  Untitled by Terry.Roberts, on Flickr  Same guy owns both these cars, and has spent about another Challenge Stradale worth of  on the Subaru...

There were so many amazing cars there with amazing horsepower figures to match. The supercars were being beaten by all sorts of dodgy 90's ricers. Perhaps the best part was that you could take passengers along for the ride. I went for a spin in this, among other things, and it certainly made me reassess what 'quick' means: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhJNhOYyqhI On that run, with average tires on a slippery surface it logged a 0-100kph of 3.3 seconds... It's worth checking out the flickr pages of the people I posted for many more cars. I may post more myself as the media people there get around to putting their photos up. (Credit and thanks to the photographers who have been great putting their photos up.) Edit to add - The MP4-12C just beat the Aventador by the end  Then this plane beat the Mclaren.  Edit 2 - Can't believe I forgot the video of the Mclaren vs. Lamborghini https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nos3GAqcZDs Dinosorcerer fucked around with this message at 08:48 on Apr 12, 2013 |

I'd think that something like that could be much more workable, if the side hatch opened upward (hinges will just get fouled with mud/dirt from your work boots or broken off) and the fuel cap were accessible without opening the side hatch.

They could work if they were able to take weight or be used as a table. Great for working on stuff out beyond the black stump. Kinda like this except fold-out, not slide-out.  Because as they are, the only purpose they serve is to get in the way.

This is a rolls my dad owned in the 80s. The story goes that he was the right hand man for a home developer who was trying to get into Savings and Loans before the scandal broke. He owned the rolls, but his kids destroyed it by drawing everywhere with crayons and spilling food etc...My dad bought it on the cheap, replaced/cleaned the interior and sold it at auction, after driving it around Los Gatos, CA as a guy in his 20s driving a Rolls Royce with gold wire wheels and a NO RULES plates to bars and such. He said he made a decent profit at auction.
