Hi guys,

Just letting you in on a secret hobby of mine. I like taking and collecting pictures of skyscrapers. Is that geek or what??? :D

Anyways, I just wanted to know if any of you Sydney members has a pic of Sydney CBD from showing the newly completed World Tower apartment building from (dare I say) Nielsen Point or Taronga Zoo?

Thanks.

I'm doing the harbour bridge climb Sunday at 3pm so if anyone take a pic of the CBD for Rezz on that day, could you also try and zoom in on the group of climbers?

ok rezz will do it on a nice day... its been pretty cloudy last couple of days. not sure if my zoom (x10) will be good enough though... world towers are the one on the corner of george and liverpool st... right?
Thats right, 85 Liverpool st... theres another largish building being built going up along side it.

wld33, which building do you work in ? If you can get on the roof I've got a new Panasonic FZ10 (12 x optical) with a 1.7x Tele and tripod which might help :))

Rezz, I work in the Citigroup building so I can try and get you some shots. In the meantime seeing as you like shots of the city, heres a few shots I took on Thursday arvo as I was walking to catch the bus -->

Holy shit Jimbo, those are beutiful pics! I wish I could take pics like that...

Oh, and if you can get some shots of the entire CBD mate that'd be sweet, cheers.

Rezz,

I've got a few images from and of the Bridge, as my sister used to work for BridgeClimb, and because of the number of climbs they have everyday, they ALWAYS have someone on up there with the opportunity for taking a good shot. A climb leaves every 10 minutes, and there's always three (if I remember correctly) groups at various stages of the climb at any one time.

There are quite a few good shots available, but the file sizes are too large (how do I attach thumbnails? :confused: ). There are heaps of good storm shots if anyone wants them, and most are at a pretty hi-res.

If you want any of the shots, let me know via PM or email

Thanks muchly for the offer, but the angle from the top of the bridge of the CBD kinda hides the World Tower afaik, which is what I'm after specifically. But thats coming from me, whos never done the bridge climb... I can't say for sure if you can see World Tower or not. But I've taken pics from the walkway from the Rocks area of the bridge, and I couldn't get Centerpoint in, let alone anything behind it!

Sorry about the time Rezz ;) Left the pictures I really wanted to post up at work so for now I'll humor you with some others :devfu:

http://jtaylorcraig.customer.netspace.net....au/various1.htm

Down the bottom you will find two pictures taken whilst playing cat and mouse against an RBT ;) After racing through a very strange road, somehow I found myself at a dead end and looking out at a perfect view of the city at night.

The pictures arn't the best as this was after a wedding at 3am, however they giev you an idea of how the world tower fits into things. note, World Tower is the building you can see in the first pic with the blue square ontop, Citigroup is to it's left and between Citigroup and Centrepoint is the AAPT building ....

Once I get back in to work I'll post up the pictures I took of the World Tower during the day ...

      No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!

      2004 Subaru Forester X Under Cover craziness!

      Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?

      2004 Subaru Forester X Under Cover craziness!

      By Apache23 · Posted

      Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
