  1. Really like the rear three quarter in-motion one Matt, the lighting is so 'smooth' but the edges are really crisp. This effect is something for me to aim for when shooting.
  2. Makes sense when I think about it; you've got no idea what numpty is hopping behind the wheel of your $200K-300K asset. Shame, as that's what makes it so expensive for the rest of us toying with the idea of doing it but can actually steer a car half decently.
  3. Interesting stuff mate. Also, nice car - used to have a 172
  4. That'd be Marty, in Michael's 33R Michael's profile: Mihalis Did you keep him behind you?
  5. Full custom plates are a waste of money!
  6. Agreed, except I only half-agree with your last statement; many of us know blokes who are on gear whose lifting and dietary discipline is completely rubbish, but they still get results. But, as you say, it's still a waste of money. If one were to actually bother going down that route and spend that dosh on gear you would at least maximise the bang for your buck. Studies like this one have shown that doing stuff all exercise while on the juice will still get you just as much if not more lean muscle mass than those who lift naturally.
  7. Haha nice vid Owen, funny ending Shame the N1s hadn't made it there at that point. No worries mate. Should've called earlier in fact but it all ended well so no dramas! Hope the repair was a good one and it holds up well; I'd rather preserve a P Zero if I could help it! Mike @ Tyrepower Dapto / Cringila sounds like a good bloke, would you recommend him for the guys in your area?
  8. And we were graced by not one, but two N1s!!!
  9. Anthony's new baby Luke's beast
  10. Some more pics... These come courtesy of Terry, so if your car is missing, complain to him! Some girls admiring Terry's Nismo wheel nuts...
  11. Fair enough mate. Think it was a truck that mustve come down just before us, it stank... Thanks for the pics Alex. Was good to meet you as well A few from the car:
  12. Fantastic day out, thanks to the guys for organising the show. Great that everyone enjoyed themselves and also took it easy on the roads. I love a good kidney pie Sorry about Owen's beast but the club pitched in again to get everything sorted as usual! What happened Bobby??
  13. Eating B&E roll + coffee, then heading out
  14. Tomorrow should be fine esp. in the afternoon, so = car wash time.
  15. I know hey Tom. Gives you some perspective. As I said it's not perfect, and to even get to 70% of that maximum would be brilliant, but at least it helps with setting a goal. Of course my main goal is to look good (and be fit) but I'm a numbers man as well, I like to be able to quantify things. Not the be all and end all, but it helps Mate let us know what your weight is 1 week after you get better; I bet you bounce back. Just rest up and keep drinking the water. I swear once I had tonsilitis on one side and when it finally got better the other one went off a week later (swapped sides somehow)... gave me the shits! Yeah I bet you run circles round em. Gotta play to your strengths! I reckon they'd be tiring a lot faster as well; they gotta lug an extra 40kgs around. AFL players physiques are better suited to medium distance (~400m) running I reckon; NRL / Rugby players are more suited to short distance (~100-200m). So those dudes you play with would be better suited to league or union for sure. Yeah I still wear shirts that are about 10 years old Cardio after work today I think.
  16. Unit. He'd be about, what 6'4 though?
  17. Here's something I reckon a few of you boys will like, some of you might have seen it before. A guy has analysed dozens of elite bodybuilding competitors from 1947 up to 2010; those who apparently were competing in natural competitions. Obviously, many of us know what that means; in brief, that at the time of testing you had not recently used gear and the testing methods are somewhat dubious. However, what he found after poring through a tonne of statistical data, was there there is a very good correlation between the body weight of competitors, and their height and bone structure, as defined by wrist girth and ankle girth. The calculation also takes into account body fat percentage. Anyway, there is an interesting article that accompanies the calculator if you feel like a bit of a read, but in any case the calculator is here. You'll see the link to the article on that page. Unfortunately you need to input your measurements in imperial units. For those of us trying to maximise muscle mass, knowing how much muscle can realistically be developed without resorting to gear is very valuable knowledge. Due to all the guys we see around who are on the juice, either in pro BB or just in the local gym, many of us who aren't interested in juicing have got no idea of our actual potential - we either over estimte what we can achieve, or become defeatist and set our goals too low. Now clearly, one can't really expect to reach 100% of what the calculator spits out; there are so many variables involved such as sleep, diet, body type, naturally-ocurring testosterone in the body, and not least genetics, plus the fact that generally all of us are gainfully employed and don't have time to train for 2 hours, 3 times a day. But it at least allows us to get some perspective. About 9 months ago I was hovering between 80-85 kilos and about 17% bf maybe. I've worked my ass off to get to 80 kilos with 13.3% bf and am really happy with that, but like everyone else can see room for improvement here and there. My stats; Height: 69" Wrist 7" Ankle 8.75" Bodyfat 13.3% = Max bodyweight of 203.5lb = 93kg muscular / 211.7lb = 96kg bulked. So if I kept my body fat the same as today, the theoretical maximum bodyweight I could be, natural, would be to gain 13kgs of muscle. Again, that's based on pro/amateur BB'ers, so even if I was to achieve 60-70% of that over the next several years (about 88kgs @ 13%bf) I'd be extremely happy. In an ideal world, I'd also want to be about 10% bf, so my max muscular would be 88kg / 91kg bulked. At 2 kgs of lean muscle per year, that would take me 4 years to achieve. Anyway, hope some of you guys enjoy.
  18. Will see you all there, assuming I am not working.
  19. Have seen this in the flesh and it looks great! When are you starting your build thread?
  20. You want to be able to look good in a shirt as well as out of one Heaps cut but less muscle mass = look good without a shirt but no one will give you a second look in one; when bulking up you'll look good in a shirt but can look soft and undefined when you take it off.
  21. For a second there I thought you thought that this car is KSR... Whoops If this is yours Drew, I've always liked the look of your car; so clean and tasteful mate. Matt
  22. Haha... I like it though, if I had an M-spec I'd definitely like it in that colour. Reminds me a bit of the Diablo 6.0 VT colour "Oro Elios" which was a special "final edition" colour, kind of like the M-spec is to the R34. Weirdly, the colour also kind of reminds me of the old Nokia 8850 Gold, which used to be the phone-to-have, back in the day...
  23. Tried drinking gargling water with a bit of salt in it? Don't overdo it as you'll dry out your tonsils too much and cause more irritation, but the salt will draw out some of the water and crud that has built up in your tonsils and reduce the swelling a bit.
