I'll take a MOPAR - 1970 hemi superbird.

Can you tell me when you will be delivering it?

Yep, felt it here in Sunbury. It gave the house a bit of a shake.

I grew up in NZ and got used to regular small quakes but it gave the wife a surprise. "Did the earth move for you dear?"

I was working in a Telephone exchange for the Bay of Plenty Earthquake in 1987. That gave the place a good shake with equipment falling over etc. That was a 6.3.

1987 Edgecumbe earthquake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was watching a linesman's van parked out side. It was steadily rolling back and forth about a meter. He must have left his hand brake off or something.

Cheers

It is bad enough parking a Cobra at Woolies, let alone something like that!

I'm a bit of a fan of the Super Bird. The reason being is it looks just like those cars you used to draw in crayon as a kid. Pointy nose and a big wing on the back etc. It may look a bit silly but it appeals to that that little kid in me that never grew up.

Cheers

Damn it gets cold there. Really one extreme in winter. I can see now why people die out there. It is not dehydration that gets them but being frozen overnight,

Thumbs up great win by Webber

Excellent result for Mark in F1 last night, with a brilliant passing move with 5 laps to go- Aussie grit !
For Casey Stoner he got his grit the hard way last night too.......unfortunately
