    diesel or gas

    Dunno about your particular vehicles, but here in the uk (where fuel economy is important!! ) diesels have much better economy although the fuel is a little pricier, and dependingon the type, they can go on for ever. 151k doesn't sound like very much - just check to see what the major service intervals are and if there is a timing belt change coming up (i think thats the expensive thing - any mechanics confirm??)

  2. Jack Johnson - Very chilled guitar + vocal type stuff Scissor Sisters - fantastic album but not really sure how to describe it! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  3. I did Aikido very seriously for a few years - throws locks that kind of thing, not the most fitness focussed though but has good principles and can be very effective. Am currently doing some kung fu and that is good for the fitness and flexibility, however for pure fitness and mental toughness, i once did a combination of kickboxing (3 nights a week) and boxing (2 nights a week), and that sounds like it might suit your needs quite well - or something like BJJ as well. For fun, and flexibility and some seriously spectacular moves however, you can't beat capoeira - check it out I have to say though, that the validity and training even in the same style can vary massively from school to school so your best option is to find all the schools in your area and go along to a few trials to see what you think you might enjoy. Good luck Never try to eat more than you can lift
  4. Ooooooooh - any pictures??? I am going to be in the market for a full face come the holiday boogie.... Never try to eat more than you can lift
  5. Man that looks like a lot of weight stuck on your melon!!! As a dumb question - why do you have the 2 vids - i'm guessing 1 is a PC series and the bigger one.... Hi-8? is that for failsafe tandems/4way/movie quality?? Also - what lid is that underneath all the cameras!? Cheers, Dave Never try to eat more than you can lift
  6. I think it will be for both - am not sure that there are enough skydivers in spitting distance to make it a feasible business proposition if it was exclusive. They are fortunate in that it will be sited to some other "extreme experience" type attractions such as an indoor ski-slope, so it will probably appeal to the stag party brigade Never try to eat more than you can lift
  7. Thanks for the pictures Levin - whats the thinking behind the biplane? Is it intended for a purpose or is it just a "curiosity" prototype? Never try to eat more than you can lift
  8. I hardly ever post in here but for once..... ..... I agree with PJ! I don't understand why our government went from being civil servants to civil evil dictators Problem with laser tag, is that a) we might actually enjoy it and b) they can't tax it any more than they already do.

  9. Ninjas and vampires - preferably in the same story!! (Edited to add: Roll on Blade Trinity....) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  10. Yes please - would love one!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift
  11. If you can stretch to it, the suunto X6HR is a fantastic bit of kit. doesn't have GPS bt does have all sorts of other bits and pieces including an alti..... Never try to eat more than you can lift
  12. From memory, the best seafood restaurant i went to in Sydney was Doyle's in Watsons bay - but i didn't have to pay and i can't remember average cover price. There is also a Doyle's in the rocks right underneath the harbour bridge. The other memorable one i went to was in Darling harbour, can't remember the name but its outside the mall there and has big blue umbrellas outside it! Again though, it may be expensive. For some smaller but still good places, i would venture out to some of the better suburbs like balmain and have a look around there, as well as your obvious places like manly etc. Sorry i can't remember anything more specific, i blame the alcohol....

  13. good picture of Al, Gi and Swifty on the cover of the mag too..... Never try to eat more than you can lift
  14. Bill, I'm curious about this, what happens in each? i have hung on rear risers before and then brakes to try and quantify the difference, but have never spread the rears. What does this do? presumably it is a little easier than trying to hold them down over a prolonged period as well. (I'm also unlikely to be able to try it in the near future looking at the weather...!!!) Never try to eat more than you can lift
  15. Are they fine for freefall?? does air getting in around the side make your eyes water at all? Would like to get some decent sunnies to jump in coz some of the goggles do make you look like a bit of a gimp.... Never try to eat more than you can lift
  16. I agree - when i first got mine i had been a bit scared by the "horror stories so i was rolling and tucking and doing all sorts of funky stuff, but now i just push the nose into the packjob and am very careful with the slider and pull it out the front a little bit so now i get good consistent openings. If i really wanted to slow it down more, i think the only thing i would contemplate is a pocket slider. Glad its working for you too
  17. Yup, big stylee. Never try to eat more than you can lift
  18. Was good to see you all last night, sorry i had to leave early! Did it go on and get messy????!!!! Never try to eat more than you can lift

  24.
