WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- A 7.2-magnitude earthquake struck in the South Pacific 30 miles (45 km) southeast of Santo, Vanuatu, the U.S. Geological Survey says.
The quake was at a depth of 107.3 miles (172.7 km), USGS said. The epicenter was also 1,240 miles (1,996 km) northeast of Brisbane, Australia.
"Based on all available data a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami not expected and there is no tsunami threat to Hawaii," read an advisory from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.

we're still here! No threat of tsunami. It's going to take more than a little earthquake to keep Mike from getting his MINI on-time.

Brought to you by the same people who told New Orleans not to worry.

I just figured the earthquake was caused by a harmonic created by Mike's pacing.

Vanuatu is a very long way away. The Pacific is a big pond.

Yeah, but as was pointed out, a tsunami doesn't happen until it reaches the shore. Hey, stop quashing my harassment of Mike.

It's the eruptions of methane gas in the Bermuda Triangle that Mike needs to worry about. They come up as a mass of bubbles, lowering the density of the water, and can swallow a large ship before there is time to send a mayday.

First, Thanks for the warm welcome.

I don't know if I would call myself a "POOM", but I would say I am slowly becoming one. Once my wife lets me begin to mod, hen I might have to say it will be a fast track to assimilation. Then I will surely seek the advice of people in this forum.

I have driven 170-180 mph on the autobahn, but that was in my old M3 and M5.

I've gone about 110 mph in my MC.

I will post pics when I get them.

My wife asked me today if I was excited about Saturday. I said no, actually a little disappointed to be taking delivery of one of bestest and funnest cars on the road. (Here's your sign)

Well, it is time for the kids to go to bed so the adults can play. Good night all.

What happened to the webcam-in-the-garage/make-it-into-a-reality-show idea I had? And when is Mike's car supposed to hit the dock (I refuse to calculate ship speeds and stuff)?

Hmmm. That does explain the "death to skuzzy" scribbles that were all over the liner.
