I have a few filters and folders for regular mailing lists, etc, but I do get a lot of pseudo-random stuff that I just let sit in the in-box. Every now and then I'll go through and do some spring cleaning - I'll move everything more than a few months old into a "someday" folder, after first deleting whatever I had…

If it hadn't been a set-up, those encounters would have called for some serious money laundering.

No argument it's an interesting - no, fascinating - drive, but if you don't consider it to be remote then your view must have been skewed by the other great open spaces Down Under. To the rest of the civilized world, that's pretty much the end of the earth. And unless they've recently added another couple of…

I don't remember meeting Waddy along the way, but the scenery and the roadhouse look about right.

Me too! All that hard work has finally paid off. ;)

Yes, if you accidentally hit a kangaroo, you can cook it next to your broken car. They actually taste pretty good.

The Eyre Highway across the Nullabor Plain in the Australian Outback. From Wikipedia: "The population on [the West Australian] stretch was estimated at 86 as at the 2006 census and, apart from Eucla, no towns exist along the route.

Your bias has obviously prevented you from even sitting in an MX-5 - perhaps you were afraid it might shrivel your manhood.

But if you had, then you would know that the MX-5's HVAC system pumps out heat and cold like there's no tomorrow. Add in heated seats in the top trim levels, and I defy your Subota to keep its…

RWD or 4WD, and why?

Was "Big Stig" from the infamous USA road trip, you in a fat suit?

World's least proficient drug smuggler.

Yeah, I'm messing with ya - I know I do a lot of shuffling on the Rallycross course, but on the track it's 9-and-3 with maybe a half-turn shuffle in preparation for a really tight turn. It just looks like none of the turns in the pix above were tight enough to need that, but I'm sure the video will reveal more when…

For us Southerners, there's Rally Ready Driving School here in Austin, TX.

*slap* Stop shuffle-steering!

Actually, the one on the trunk lid is a disguised satellite dish.

"Smart" is knowing a tomato is a fruit. "Clever" is knowing not to put it in the fruit salad.

I started my online computing in the days of BBSes. I couldn't afford a computer myself, so I stayed back after hours at work and used an IBM PC to dial into various local boards. Apart from downloading games, utilities, and "stuff", I also participated in "echomail conferences", which were kinda like usenet but…

(That's Lapchick the Mad Hungarian from "The Gumball Rally", for you youngsters.)

I see a surprising similarity:

If at first you don't succeed - try, try, try again.
