Hey Josh

Yeah mate, I believe that we are one of the few countries in the world that has the tacho in the centre and the speedo in front of the driver

Cheers,
Simon

BTW Josh, that's one mean lookin' MINI you have there

It's always the way, we always want what we can't have Mind you it does look awesome, lit up....at night I don't think that I woul swap it.

 

thanks!

I love watching the huge tach needle swing.....

and I'm not interested in my revs when the cops here so love giving out speeding tickets - I'd rather have my "speeding ticket prevention device" right in front of me!

It's a bit hard to see, but here an interior shot of my car with the speedo/tach:

Evening, I guess you are at work again. (someone has to be I guess)

Me, I am sweltering in 32 deg C heat still, it hit 37 deg C during the day (which is hot for Melbourne).

Keep smiling

 

Very nice, I guess you don't have a problem seeing at night

 

yep....don't know what it was in Canberra today, but Stumpy and I were working outside in the sun all day. When I finally plugged the battery back in and drove home (about 6pm)...the temp guage was showing 36 degrees...and it felt cooler than the middle of the day....


YUK!!!!

ah..sorry

 

Think of the snow No, think of........Bavaria

 

I'm right there with you my main man!



like my frauline?

 

Nice, but she doesn't look anything like most of the German women I've met!

 

oh c'maaan.....please don't ruin for us!

 

Sorry. Besides, I haven't met ALL the German women. Since I haven't been to Germany, I've only met the ones they allow out of the country.

 

I guess I'll just have to go there to find where they are keeping them all!

I have met some lovely Dutch women....

 

I <3 Tit's signature.

 

Thankyou! I only put it on yesterday....

How strange is this though - I'm watching seedy late-night TV, and Ren and Stimpy came on.....guess what: that scene came on where Stimpy is playing the pan-pipes and Ren is dancing!! Wierd!! (It's the episode where they are hanging out with the Chief firefighter - lots of gross toilet humour and everything!)

 

There was one episode... where Ren becomes a movie star with huge pecs, and takes from Stimpy's butt... i haven't seen it in YEARS so i can't remember all the details, but that episode literally made me cry every time i saw it, it was so heartbreaking.

 

Yeah....last time I was in the US (July) I made sure I bought all the Ren and Stimpy boxed sets. They don't have them in Oz yet. I swear I wore the disks out in about two weeks! hahaha....

"huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge pectoral muussssccclessssssss"

haha

 

when are you coming back to the us?

 

hmmm......probably not for a while.......I have no plans to just yet...

I have a trip to Malaysia mid year, and Europe at the end of the year.....

The last one was for a wedding in Canada, so I spent some time in DC.

I was foolish and only posted about it in Mini2 - in retrospect I would have had alot more success meeting some mini types from NAM.....I see you're from VA - that would have been more helpful knowledge back in June/July....

I wasn't really posting on NAM much back in June...

:rolleyes:

oh well.....I promise I'll tell you if I am coming up...

 

Being that i didn't sign up on here til may when i first foudn otu about teh site, and didn't really frequent the forum til months later, i probably wouldn't have talked to you much anyhow :P

But if you ever come back by, be sure to let me know

 

If I do come up to the US - I'd almost certainly start a thread looking to meet mini nuts like myself...you'd be on the top of my list...

Of course, I'd expect the same from you if you were to come to Oz

 

I'd love to leave the east coast for starters The farthest off the east coast i've been was to Tennessee with YuccaPatrol and Sarcux to pick up Andrew's rental car... and that wasn't very far in TN

I'd love to visit a place where they drive on the opposite side of the road, and the driver sides on the opposite side of the car.
