Old Feature: CA18DET Datsun 1200 Ute

8 11 2009

I used to do a bit of work for a few small car mags in australia, Fast Fours, Zoom, HPi and some others.

I was going back through some photos on my PC and saw this car that I did, I meet Michael through a friend and got the ok for the feature in Fast Fours, this would be a very fun car to own with a CA18DET in a small ute.

I’ll post some more old features and events in the future hopefully.

The shots are a mixture of the actual feature in the factory and some that were taken and sent to the magazine for approval of the feature













Eastern Creek 07.11.2009

8 11 2009

On saturday I headed out with Tommo, Kirky and my younger brother Jay to Eastern Creek for them to ride at another track day, I was torn about racing myself, I love it, but it’s alot of money and stress, but fantastic fun, either way I decided I’d rather help out on the day with the Ute, Timing, & Photographing etc. All the boys beat their previous best times and no one crashed, so a win/win day, there were a few moments from everyone mostly with wheelspin in certain parts of the track, which was crazy to watch, but that’s what happens with an 1000cc motocycle, dying tyres and plenty of throttle input.

The run onto the straight (featuring Tommo), it’s awesome powering out of 12, but daunting heading into the very fast T1

rss censor

5 11 2009

I use google reader for RSS, I check it a few times a day, I use it for motorcycle, modified car, Music, Tattoo & Vegetarian news, I’m subscribed to about 38 at the moment, if I add some and i find I don’t read it I delete them otherwise I just waste my own time skipping over them constantly.

What I do wish is that I could censor some to the subjects that come though, with my motorcycle blogs I get heaps of news on MotoGP, WSBK, new models, business news etc, it’s awesome, but there are two things I hate getting news on… Electric Motorcycles and MV Agustas. Electric Motorcycles are just annoying and look shit, I don’t care that one completed a lap of the IOM or did a 50mph (i know they do more but fuck em) pass at the salt flats, and that most of them seem to be american built you know they will be a piece of crap. MV’s are just fucked up, they make some bike that did 312kph, like any other jap bike couldn’t if they didn’t have a 299kph gentle mans rule. MV’s don’t look that great, they cost alot and don’t win shit in the racing world. fuck off





Tattoo Photograph

31 10 2009

I read Valerie Vargas’ Blog via RSS, I love the work she does, it’s so cool, anyway, she posted this blog with had a photo of her getting tattooed by a colleague, I love it, the concentration, the tone of the image, the work that’s being done, it all adds up for a fantastic shot.





Bands That Should Release New Albums

31 10 2009

I’ve been pretty spoilt this year with so many awesome bands putting out new albums and 99% of them have been fucking epic.

Here are a few of the bands that I would like to put out an album.

The Warriors

As I Lay Dying

Parkway Drive

Bad Religion

Antagonist A.D.





Nine in 09

29 10 2009

Rossi gets his 9th world championship

1 x 125GP
1 x 250GP
1 x 500GP
2 x MotoGP (990cc Honda)
2 x MotoGP (990cc Yamaha)
2 x MotoGP (800cc Yamaha)

What a feat, I can’t wait for 2010 even though there is one race left in 09

- Will Rossi get Ten in 2010 (bad religion reference)
- Will George (Jorge) be a force again on an identical M1 to Rossi
- Will Stoner remain healthy and fast as ever to claim his second world chamionship
- Will Honda and Pedrosa produce something special in the off season
- Will all the teams handle the engine limit ? As Suzuki and tech 3 yamaha already have issues
- Lastly will the 2 Marcos do Gresini proud ?

Bring on 2010
