Aviation Truisms "Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons." - General MacArthur "You, you, and you ... Panic. The rest of you, come with me." - U.S. Marine Corp Gunnery Sgt. "Though I Fly Through the Valley of Death ... I Shall Fear No Evil. For I am at 80,000 Feet and Climbing." - At the entrance to the old SR-71 operating base Kadena, Japan "You've never been lost until you've been lost at Mach 3." - Paul F. Crickmore (test pilot) "The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire." "Blue water Navy truism: There are more planes in the ocean than submarines in the sky." From an old carrier sailor "If the wings are traveling faster than the fuselage, it's probably a helicopter -- and therefore, unsafe." "When one engine fails on a twin-engine airplane you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash." "Without ammunition, the USAF would be just another expensive flying club." "What is the similarity between air traffic controllers and pilots? If a pilot screws up, the pilot dies; If ATC screws up, . the pilot dies." "Never trade luck for skill." The three most common expressions (or famous last words) in aviation are: "Why is it doing that?" "Where are we?" and "OH SHIT!" "Weather forecasts are horoscopes with numbers." "Progress in airline flying: now a flight attendant can get a pilot pregnant." Airspeed, altitude and brains. Two are always needed to successfully complete the flight." "A smooth landing is mostly luck; two in a row is all luck; three in a row is prevarication." "I remember when sex was safe and flying was dangerous." "Mankind has a perfect record in aviation; we never left one up there!" "Flashlights are tubular metal containers kept in a flight bag for the purpose of storing dead batteries." "Flying the airplane is more important than radioing your plight to a person on the ground incapable of understanding or doing anything about it." "When a flight is proceeding incredibly well, something was forgotten." "Just remember, if you crash because of weather, your funeral will be held on a sunny day." Advice given to RAF pilots during WWII: "When a prang (crash) seems inevitable, endeavor to strike the softest, cheapest object in the vicinity as slow and gently as possible." "The Piper Cub is the safest airplane in the world; it can just barely kill you." - Attributed to Max Stanley (Northrop test pilot) "A pilot who doesn't have any fear probably isn't flying his plane to its maximum." - Jon McBride, astronaut "If you're faced with a forced landing, fly the thing as far into the crash as possible." - Bob Hoover (renowned aerobatic and test pilot) "Never fly in the same cockpit with someone braver than you." "There is no reason to fly through a thunderstorm in peacetime." - Sign over squadron ops desk at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ, 1970 "If something hasn't broken on your helicopter, it's about to." Basic Flying Rules: "Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of the air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there." "You know that your landing gear is up and locked when it takes full power to taxi to the terminal."

sorry...my bad! The link works fine on GT Rydaz site...I dunno.(Scratches head...) Try:http://forum.gtrydaz.com/showthread.php?t=5669

P**s funny! Worth the watch! About 10mb.. http://bnurmi.communis.com.au/mirror...TGmvracing.wmv

Ah,kids these days...too soft! Tell 'em to hang onto the rollcage! :lol:

See y'all there!

Bugger! Sprung! It's so hard to make off with 430KW's of RB goodness without Paul & Stace' noticing...LOL!

Spotted John's R31 going under the bridge leaving Queanbo' on Monday arv'. Looks VERY different to the last time I saw it,J! Spotted Andrew the NEW owner of Andrew's Veilside 33 at trivia last night;good to finally meet you!

The theatrical agent, trying to sell a new strip act to a night-club manager, was raving about the girl's unbelievable 72-26-40 figure. "What kind of a dance does she do?" the manager asked, duly impressed by the description of the girl's dimensions. "Well, she doesn't actually dance at all," the agent replied. "She just crawls out onto the stage and tries to stand up!"

I'd say you'd get off on a technicality...

Call off the hunt;NathR32 has come to the rescue! Thanks to those that posted useful suggestions,and those that rang to help(I'll bet Twoogle made ya,LOL!)-all sorted. Looks like the Bling Mobile will be more pimped out for Final Battle!

G'day Nath'! No,I didn't call,but my wife(who's car their needed for)may've.If you could delve into your proposal further,that'd be awesome! I'll PM you my work number etc... Cheers!

Now we're talkin'! Thanks! Oh,and hender;I know you're trying to help,but...

Thanks,Sambo;we tried AutoBarn,but there's nothing in stock,and if we order it,it'll be a week...not the three days we need 'em in by,unfortunately!

Time is running out,and I need suggestions as to where I'd find Blitz gauges here in Oz to get to Canberra by Wednesday.... I need 3 x 52 mm white faced gauges;1 x water temp,1 x oil temp and 1 x oil pressure. Any retailers you'd suggest? Anyone got any one/two or three of these in new condition(must be AS NEW)they would like to sell? eBay is out-can't get anything here in time. Our local suppliers are out of what I need and Wednesday is the cutoff... The clock is ticking!

Spotted Slither yesterday arv' on the Monaro southbound;sorry-I was a bit late waving! SkyGTRline on Fadden/Chis' roundabout,sans front bar

I'm saddened by this news. Like many,I wasn't aware he was so close to death;I knew he had troubles,but didn't think they were life-threatening. The World will be poorer for the passing of such a talented driver,and,from what I understand,a genuinely nice bloke. R.I.P. Mr Burns;you are badly missed!

I so completely missed you;were you in the Stage'? And I'd made a point of getting the Spotted Goggles on,too! And,yes;I may have been moving slightly about the signposted velocity...LOL!

And the Police/RTA/powers-that-be will still yank the import/sports car/insert name of favorite car brand here because it's got a boost guage or something equally criminally outrageous in sight... Where are the Rozzers when the early model Fawd/Commondoor with all the above listed "features",full of rust and an unrestrained child peering out the back window at your 'Line roars past(hole in the 'zorst,y'see)at 130 kp/h an a 100 zone as you try and do the right thing to stick to the limit for fear of the rubber glove treatment?!? Sorry...got a bit carried away...Rant over!

Spotted a nice white R33 GTS at Fyshwick KFC last night;big decal across the top of the rear window. Checked him out while he checked out the Bling mobile...

NOW we're talking!!

Likewise:spotted this car too. HKS Kansai decal on the boot,aftermarket 'cooler;any ideas who this might be?

Second JUN 2.7L's comment;so,who's got an R34 GT-R that looks like RH9 then?

True...Not much any of us can do but await the powers that be at WSID. Still,I'd be sure if I said everyone is still amped up for a race meet,yes?!?

of course you can come for a look...said the Priest to the choirboy,LOL! Better if you entered,tho'...It's a pretty casual show'n'shine. Meet &/or eat at the Golden Arches is fine by me...I believe Termi' said 7.30ish!

Whilst I'm not personally racing,I do need to budget both dollars and time for a 6 hour round trip,accomodation etc,so the sooner we get the "go" for (hopefully) the 26th of this month,the easier it will be on my selfish a***,LOL!
