Hey Dai, was waiting for you to post. Yeah I read a bit about them online and everyone seemed to say that. I actually wanted the naked version (gs500) but none were coming up for the right price, so got this instead.

Don't think I've ever seen the term "game engine footage" used so misleadingly.
That said, I am soooo excited for the new Star Wars...even if they are ruining it for future generations with 3d sad.gif

Also:



Was a good run today. Sorry about my lopsided head.

I was lucky enough to get mine for substantially cheaper than all those listed except the last one of course.

I looked at a naked 06 model a few weeks back but it sold on me before I had a chance to sort it all out.

Will do Dai!

Hope you had joy,just got a load hung out,and had to rescue it from a downpour,but maybe a good omen for Mark and his new bike though,we were supposed to have an 'East Coast Low' form just south of us,which was going to impact you guys too.At this point in time,looks like it may not happen to the extent it was initially forecast. In other news,last night,had another great night and meal at our Japanese Restaurant,and my wife now has episodes 1- 4 of season five 'Crown of Thorns' on her 'puter oopsie.gif

Based on my very limited exposure to Japanese culture, I’m pretty sure there aren’t many things more popular there than karaoke bars, sadistic game shows and weird pixelated pornography.

I don’t know how it took so long for them to combine all three.

The concept of the show, called “Sing What Happens,” is fairly simple: Guys sing karaoke as a woman does hand stuff until their tone begins to warble. It might be a game show, but there’s really no way to lose.

According to the video’s description, the show runs on a premium adult channel, so it’s worth noting this isn’t what comes on after the Japanese version of “Jeopardy!.”

If you’re curious, that would be the Japanese version of “Wheel of Fortune.”

The legendary Valentino Rossi wins dramatic race, as Marc Marquez crashes out during battle for the lead.

Valentino Rossi took a stunning victory at today's GP Red Bull de la República Argentina after an inspired tire choice helped the seven-time MotoGP champion chase down race leader Marc Marquez, who dramatically crashed his factory Honda trying to re-take Rossi for the win.

Rossi's race was nearly ruined on the first corner, as he touched the boot of Ducati rider Andrea Iannone. He remained in his starting position of eighth for a couple of laps before he began his charge to the front.

Rossi took ten laps to fight his way through into second place, and he then set after Marquez who was 4s ahead but losing grip with his hard rear Bridgestone. Rossi's extra-hard option.
The gap to Marquez progressively closed down, with Rossi's advantage clear to see on the timing screen and with just three laps to go Rossi was ready to pounce. When the decisive move came, Marquez tried his best to get back under Rossi but touched the rear wheel of the Yamaha and crashed out in a shower of sparks.

stupid move from MM.. yer he is an agressive rider but some of his
passes are just very careless, he still had plenty of time to attack and pass
again but this kid is too impatient.. try to battle with Rossi when he's in the form that he is you will come out 2nd best..
Rossi still leads the WC with MM 30 points behind.. this could be the year he wins his 10th world title..

Mitsubishi Rolls Out Lancer Evolution Final Edition In Japan

QUOTE
Mitsubishi doesn’t have much in the way of interesting product these days, and the situation is due to become more dire as the last bastion of excitement at the brand, the Lancer Evolution, is set to be culled later this year. Previously, Mitsubishi’s U.S. chief Don Swearingen said a special edition model will be launched to mark the Evo’s end, and now the car, badged as a “Final Editionâ€, has been launched in the automaker’s home market of Japan.

Inspiration for the Evo Final Edition came from the Lancer Evolution X Final Concept rolled out late last year, though sadly the production version misses out on the show car’s awesome 473-horsepower, HKS-tuned engine. Instead, the Evo Final Edition packs the familiar 2.0-liter turbo four, which in Japan is rated at 296 horsepower.

The car is based on the Evo's GSR trim level, which means it comes with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard. However, a number of premium features from the MR trim are added here. These include forged 18-inch wheels from BBS, Bilstein shocks with Eibach springs, and Brembo two-piece brake rotors.

There are five exterior colors available to buyers of the Evo Final Edition, including a new gray hue. Buyers can also opt to have the roof panel finished in black or white. Inside, buyers will find contrast stitching for the steering wheel, Recaro bucket seats, parking brake and gear shift knob, as well as a commemorative plaque on the center console. “Final Edition†badging can also be found at the rear of the car.

Just 1,000 examples will be built for the Japanese market starting in August, after which production of the 10th-generation Evo will come to an end. It’s not clear yet if something like the Evo Final Edition will be launched in the U.S.

As for any successor, Mitsubishi has stated in the past that any new Evo will be very different to past generations of the car, with many suggesting it will be a plug-in hybrid based on the next-generation Outlander Sport. Unfortunately, it will be years until we see the replacement as Mitsubishi has also said it won’t start development until it has suitable technology.

Video of MM getting slam dunked!

MM definitely wanted his ball back a little too quickly,and certainly paid the price for it,and I think you may be right,the way Rossi has started this season it could be number ten,the man's a freak!

the good thing about MM is he goes on with it.. doesnt come out and point the finger..

QUOTE
"Fortunately I'm ok. It was just a bit scary in the beginning because I had so much pain in my stomach," Marquez said.

It's a shame what happened, because we were having a good race. It was really interesting, because our tyre choice was different from Valentino's, because I knew that it would have been impossible to beat him with the [same] harder compound.

"So I took a risk, pushed at the beginning and opened a gap. The strategy was working out well for us it's just a pity about the last two laps. When I saw that he was closing in on me, I decided to save the tyres a little.

On the final laps I went back in the low 1'39s and knew we would be fighting to the end. But when he passed me - you saw on the video what happened, he added.

Valentino is Valentino and it is difficult to beat him. I've always said that he's my idol and my reference, so you always learn things from him.

"Now I'm already thinking about Jerez. I already understand what happened here. So in Jerez I will do my best and try to recover points. There are still many races and anything can happen."

This is why Marquez is admired even by Rossi fans and Stoner isn't.
I can't even begin to imagine what Casey would say if he was in Marc's shoes
