yep! looks awsome. The suns reflection off our atmosphere boucing to the moon give it the real deep orange effect. (like a sunrise on earth)

can happen twice a year...so they say......

The photo was taken using a tripod and 8 second exposure. focus set to infinity.

Turned out better than I thought it would :)

Luke n I went to Mt Lofty to see it, fair few people up there and lots on side of the road on way up. Looked pretty cool, listened to radio on way back, they were saying out south or on the beach wouldve been a good spot.

Either way looked pretty cool where we were, could even see it from my house pretty well and im right near the city.

The best place to see the eclipse was out my way they were saying. (gawler) It happens every seven years.

Its commonly refered to as a blood moon. Isaw it back in 2000 and was just as clear as it was tonight.

Its incredible how fast the eclipse takes place. Was watching it in the GTR on the way home from work (sitting at the traffic lights that is ) Amazing! :)

      If I got a dollar for every flipped commuter missile I've driven past I'd have two dollars   Some people get into wild adventures on the road and I doubt it's gender or ethnicity specific. I'm just glad I don't usually drive during peak times.

      Just got the car back and gave it a good run back home Power wise, whilst it only made a extra 5 killerwasps up top at 7200 rpm, it made more power everywhere from 2500 rpm and kept pulling much harder all the way, to the point of me relearning when to shift so I don't hit the 7200 limiter, with the old intake it seemed to take alot more time to rev out, and, throttle response is also much improved  As I didn't want to remove the bumper every time I serviced the air filter (basically every aftermarket and fabricated CAI has the filter behind the bumper) it currently has a hektic exposed pod in the engine bay sucking in hot air, this will be rectified shortly after some some of my CAD (cardboard assisted design) for a alloy heat shield feed by the OEM intake tube behind the bumper, this will cop some wrinkle black paint, as well as the intake pipe for that totally OEM look... The only fly in the ointment was that the OEM "strut" brace doesn't fit over the rear runner of the new intake with the 2.5 engine is in the engine bay, as the 2.5 raises the engine up by 20mm, it's not a war stopper, and I didn't notice any difference without it in some twisties, but....... MX5 Mania is bringing in some GWR "fancy pants" braces that apparently do fit, if it bolts up I'll grab it, it is also stiffer than the OEM one, which is a bonus All in all I'm happy with the outcome      Fancy pants "strut" brace that gives the required clearance      This is where the clearance issue was, the GWR extends out past this
