    I vigorously try to stay under " impound your vehicle speed " However it's so easy to lose your license driving a Ferrari , especially a twin turbo one :)

    That's what I don't understand about new supercars. 800HP. What can you do with that on public roads? Nothing really. Either crash it, kill people, get it impounded by Mr Plod, or drive it at 20% of its potential. Same speed as a Corolla.

    50% is the sheer driving experience the other 50% is to be able to look at a sexy thing all the time. A Toyota Corolla wouldnt even excite one hair of mine.

    The Wes school of parking ?

    Some years ago a friend and I sat having a coffee in Double Bay watching this woman in a NEW Ferrari have so many goes at trying to get out of the parallel car space that she gave up after love tapping the cars on either side of her...... I would have offered to get it out for her but it was funnier watching her :p

    Just checked news.com.au and it is filled with mostly rubbish, the Michael Mosely story is pushed down the page to "celebrity deaths" , what a disgrace, I thought he tried to make people think about their health and worthy of reporting the latest news about him higher up

    Murdoch media is a disgrace

    Yeah but I want to know if it was heat exhaustion or he just tripped and fell

    Some of the dribble with higher priority are rubbish

    Heat exhaustion is pretty dumb for such a smart guy. Hard to believe.

    There’s been loads of stories about this in the Oz, and prominently placed (as they should be).

    At this stage it looks like heat exhaustion, and tragically close to help.

    Very sad. We’ve got a few of his books and have watched pretty much everything he’s done.
    A great guy who no doubt helped millions of people improve their health.

    I did the same in Machu Pichu last year, nearly killed myself from stupidity by walking back to town after carrying Neralee's cameras all over the bunch of rocks at the top of the mountain

    It was only 4km as the crow flies but I took the Stelvio footpath back which had to be somewhere over 10 kms and I had NO water, THICK coat and no hat on a very hot day.

    Bus took 20 minutes to get there and I took 2.5 hrs

    Yeah, being a diabetic I tried his plan and it helped

    seeing where he died it's sad he couldn't yell out for help

    One thing that getting older has taught me, your mind tricks you into feeling younger than your body actually is - and you can get yourself into trouble quicker than you would otherwise believe.

    Just got mine back

    Goes better than I can remember, back end breaks away very easily now

    Marc fixed a lot of issues and cleaned up the whole engine bay area
