    Default When was the last time you said 'wow'?

    im not sure who has the ad out at the moment that asks this question... but i stole the idea from them.

    anyway, last time i said wow was this arvo when i was driving home. i pulled over to watch the resident wedge-tails flying around over william hovell drive (for anyone who lives in or knows canberra at all). i was amazed at their sheer size, and how agile such a large bird can be.

    i saw one cruising along and then it looked like it was just about to do a loop-de-loop when it pulled out half way up and dropped back down and the up even higher then it was already flying. all while not even beating a wing!

    incase people dont know, im a mad keen wedgie lover. i usually make it a habit of stopping to watch them when i have time. every time i see them it makes me want to go and get my tattoo that i want (picture below)

    the last time i said wow was this morning where i was following a vehicle that resembled a go-kart frame with a four cylinder engine and two massive tyres at the rear and a single bicycle wheel at the front.... wow!

    Don't even think twice about it go and get it. Something like that for a tatoo is never going to go out of fashion.

    Last time I was blown away was on my way to work I saw this VE GTS flying along behind me it looked like it was cutting through the air.

    Before that was climbing up this massive mountain at the sunshine coast and looking down (that climb nearly killed me).

    if it was an eagle it would have been a white bellied sea eagle. they have a wingspan of around 2 meters.



    a wandering albatross has a wingspan of 3.5 meters. so some how i dont think it was 7 meters across

    Last time I said 'wow' is when I went to the Ferrari show on Lonsdale ST (I think) in melb sometime before the F1 grand prix. These cars is what I dream of, makes me horny as hell, especially the F430.
