A country town called Brisbane….

I spent the weekend at Sydney watching eldest son playing Rep water polo. At 5.30p on a Sunday, the traffic was worse than peak hour weekday Brisbane traffic. How do you guys survive down there? Plan early or be late I suppose. Well I suppose at least it’s not Melbourne – traffic + all seasons. I can see why so many are coming up here. The Ryde Aquatic centre was just superb (was the Olympic venue for Water polo).
Ferrari Content: Saw a couple of 360 spiders (yellow & red) and a light blue 400i

 

Now what exactly would you know about peak weekday Bris traffic? ......and tell them you think Sydney and Melbourne are a lot better than up here......we don't want any more!!!!!!

 

What kind of nose pegs do the horses use?

As for driving in Sydney, well, I just don't . You have to pick the right time to drive. Also, last Sunday is last day of school holidays (it was bad), and everyone is coming back from hols. It's not always like that.

I was up in Brisbane last Thursday, caught up with Moretti, and well, you guys drive like madmen, and I guess it's due to not having any traffic in Brisbane during the day.

 

vroomgt always drives like that, I never speed and obey every law that was written.

In Qld they have a saying that we only learn one road rule to pass our test and then must ignore it as much as possible for the rest of our life, Horse and Ausdino being the exception to the rule ... .they ignore all the road rules

 

haha @ sydney traffic, its diabolical.....

road system resembles a bowl of spaghetti dropped from 20 feet in the air

melb does have its busy times, and there are some freeway sections best avoided during peak hr but all in all navigating melb is easy, and its easy to get back on track should you take a wrong turn, even on a FWY

 

just got stuck in a traffic jam in mowamba place Thredbo, some dipsh!t decided to park on a icey hill and forgot to think once it got out of the car it would start to slide, and slide it did, ever see someone trying to get into a locked moving car in an uncontrollable slide.......i'm on dial up so will post pics soon.

 

for some reason that sounded funny,anyway i leave for work at 5.30am before the traffic and get home at 3.00pm sometimes,so i usally miss the traffic,and the m2 in the afternoon is a joke!

 

awaiting pics goober...thats hilarious

ive got a few funny stories from ski resort carparks

one of which involved a 'foreign tourist' family fitting chains to the REAR wheels of their magna.....haha

 

I can't even explain how much I am looking forward to seeing that

 

I hope you can post them soon There are a few avi's around showing these snow escapades - ford F?? truck pulling car out of snow, doesnt pull car out - only the tow hook, beaver panel, rear light panel - basically the whole rear of the car.....

 

I believe in instilling fear into your passengers and other road users at all times.
Even yourself occassionally.

BTW Ants heres some places to buy SD1 units:

Thanks Ash, thats the one. I kwew you would have seen it...

 

i started playing the internet in 1994, clocked it twice.

 

mosaic ???

pre-mosaic you needed to be good at vi and use an xv viewer

 

A bit before me on the net. 1st PC 1984 - NEC APC 3, 8086 cpu, huge 10mb hard drive- ahead of its day. Started on the net with netscape 1.0 back '94/5

 

The best time to drive in Sydney is about 3am. Usually only find taxi's on the road. Every other time it's busy.

Tho if they really wanted to fix the problem all they have to do is make alot of Sydney's artery roads Clearway's 24/7 and that would fix alot of the problem.

Oh course the RTA planners are idiots, even in this day and age, they still only make new roads only 2lanes(new M7 for example)!!!!! If all the freeways/motorways in Sydney were 3lanes from start to finish not for 500m alot of them are The problems would disappear..

 

I started in the interweb scene in 94 too Hey we should start a club the 1994 Internet Club

 

babies, I was playing with the "i"nternet back in 83 , then the "real" internet started for the kids with the first browser in about 91 mosaic created by the DEC boys who moved off and created their own company Netscape, became zillionaires and lost the big fight with Bill and this exploder crap

very early 90s was good for getting to talk directly with the F1 engineers in the newsgroups and getting an insight into the goings on in the F1 teams, however I never remember Ferrari participating

 

nerds!

 

Peter you are a real tech head

Netscape rules .... well it did

 

Thanks John. I will try them

Thanks for the great day, JA and JM.

 

get JA to demo PSM to you in the mountains one day

that would take a few days off ya life

 

In 83 we had 1 computer for the whole school
In 91 our school thought it be cool to upgrade their BBC systems hahaha.
