Dog tube

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Certain elements of this blog’s readership have commented that Chloe doesn’t appear to be obese as I claim. To better demonstrate her tubularity I give you this photo. You be the judge! ;)

Bundaberg - dogs, kites and dragons

Sunday, August 20th, 2006

On Saturday we went to Moore Park just north of Bundaberg, where there was a shindig with the sandology.com guy building this sand dragon, and tons of kites like this dinosaur…and Subaru-engined gyrocopters.

This dog is called Chloe, her obesity amuses me.

Ekka race day

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

Man. The Ekka race day at Eagle Farm is crazy…it takes 40 minutes to line up for a drink and 20 minutes to get a hot dog, but it’s still fun

XR Falcon GT

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

This is what a muscle car looked like in Australia in 1967, with its 289ci V8 and skinny chrome steel wheels. This car was the beginning of an era of overpowered beasts with crap brakes and bouncy, lurching suspension, ending with Holden putting huge V8s into little Toranas until the oil scare.

Mercedes Benz 300SL

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

The car I took pictures of in my previous post was a 1954-57 Mercedes Benz 300SL, a pretty cool car. It has gullwing doors and was the first production car to use fuel injection! Awesome.

The Valiant Pacer is a dinosaur with a big-capacity low rev carby thumper motor still but looks and sounds cool :)
