Howdy...

I got this email from Film Australia, it sounds pretty lame, but TV is currently totally obsessed with reality shows, and there is no shortage of people who want to make themselves look like dills in front of the entire country, so if you fit the bill, then this could be right up your alley.

PLEASE don't contact me about this, I have no involvement with it, and I have no information other than that which is provided below, I'm just the messenger here.

All relevant contact information is provided at the bottom of the post.

To Whom It May Concern,

We are currently producing a documentary series for SBS TV all about Growing Up Male in Australia. It explores the major life stages, rites of passage, turning points and transitions in boys and men's lives.

We are very interested in finding a 'car mad' family to feature in our first episode. Ideally the family has a teenage son who is about to get his drivers licence or has just got his licence and owns his own car or uses Dad's car. Perhaps dad is a bit nervous about his son getting a licence and perhaps dad is giving his son driving lessons....the story will explore what the car sub-culture means to the boys and men and explores a kind of rite of passage, when the teenager gets his licence.

We are hoping to film at the end of January or beginning of February. We would like to find families who are in Sydney or NSW - if possible. If there is a fantastic family who live interstate, we could consider travelling.

We would like to film the family restoring or tending to their car, racing it or driving it. Going to car shows, rallies etc.

Do you think you are able to put us in touch with some families to talk to initially, with the possibility of filming with them?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

Nicky

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
