Trump you there Griff. Almost 50 years driving. Better driver than Stirling Moss after two lessons. Lost it once for passing on yellow lines. Never had a prang. Drove pissed many times. Ran black & white off road once at bottom of Wainui Hill. Sober old chap now. Butter wouldn’t melt in mouth! 🙂

Russia carried out a successful test of its new Bulava intercontinental nuclear missile …

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/10/us-russia-nuclear-idUSKBN0H519C20140910

Now the MH17 incident has lost its heat in the press, look over here! Even if it isn’t [publicly] known at this point in time who shot down that aircraft, the notions of ‘Russia’ and ‘missile’ were stapled to almost every story and theory. ISIS/ISIL said they want a scrap with Putin, Obama’s said he’s going to bomb the crap out of them … a perfect time for Moscow to show the biceps of their toy set. Public relations spin machine set to maximum sizzle!

smoke and drive and I am safer than my normal self.

Fine for you Griff but many others aren’t safe when you calculate the kinetic energy of your average 1.5-2 tonne car moving at 100 k.p.h.

Just like getting pissed is fine for many but some seem to get all angry.

Does this mean the many must suffer for the few?

No. Unless you’re a ruthless authoritarian type like Hone is.

But how do you design a law which keeps the freedom balance and equally applies to all yet gives enough rope to the Police to curb the few?

The V8’s would leave me for dead JB although the small bore HQ’s struggled. MK4 Zephyrs could outleg me & even MK3s were a challenge.

Thing was that I thrashed that wagon for six years & she never let me down.

This isn’t to be confused with ‘rentagoat.org’, which is a Muslim dating site.

This isn’t to be confused with goatse.***, which is a ~~Muslim dating~~ date site.

I’m all good with anyone getting married to anyone, as long as it’s not incestuous. What I find ironic with those two bloke friends who are getting married, is that people have had marriages of convenience for yonks, but as soon as two blokes do it the rainbow brigade is up in arms about it.

Yeah good cars Valiants nasska.

I took a 253 Holden on the staight outside what used to be Griffins just before the Wainui hill (before they straightened it) in my V8 Mk4 and put a MOT MK4 Cortina (that just happened to be coming down) up on the grass.

Sobered up real fast. Booted it and can remember seeing 90MPH on the speedo as I went over the top. No cops in Wainui in those days. Got home. Never drove drunk again! 🙂

Agree with that chris. Although I don’t hold much truck for those who opposed gay marriage the legislation cost a lot of friction between the parties both for & against.

The outraged attitude shown by the gays when they cop a bit of borax is precious self-serving whining.

For us poor people in POVERTY it was a 105E Anglia fitted with a 1340cc from the Consul Classic or a 1200cc from the MK1 Cortina. These motors fitted straight in and was a huge difference from the 997cc.
Couldnt afford to fill the boot up with piss like you guys did though !~

I owned a Consul 315 once. Not a bad car but it had rust troubles. Sold it to scrape up the deposit for the first house back in 71!

The 3.3s ticked a lot of boxes JB but as you note the bodies let them down.

If they’d been used anywhere near the coast you could see daylight through the rust holes left to right. 🙂

If the Poms had got their cars to spray oil onto the dodgy paintwork instead of the garage floor there might be a few more old classic pommy crappers around today! 🙂

I had a Hillman Imp and a Vauxhall Viva once. Both of the bastards blew up.

Shit engineers the pommies were. Christ knows how they ever built railways and ships to be honest! 🙂

Part of the problem was crap electrics JB & the Fords were the worst. Negative earth generators & using the body as a common earth were a recipe for electrolysis.

The rest of the civilised world used paired wires & alternators but the Poms were a bit slow in catching up. 🙂

They were positive earth in those days nasska. It’s all negative earth now. What weeds you growing in Eke? 🙂

You’re right….positive it was! It’s not the weed….it’s the realisation that I’m only 26 days away from my first National Superannuation payment that has my mind aflutter JB. 🙂

I’m building up for that moment soon nasska! 🙂

The P76 was a much maligned set of wheels Griff. Somewhat like the MK4 Zephyr.

Not many I should think JB. I did consider driving into Masterton & spending 9AM to 3PM riding the bus around town but I just can’t get enthusiastic about the prospect. 🙂

You could drive to Auckland instead and get a free ride to Waiheke Island and back and then drive back to Eke nasska!

That would be typical Winston value for money! 🙂

I get the last word which will be food for thought for Penny:

A date has been set for John Banks’ appeal against his conviction for knowingly filing a false electoral return.

His lawyer David Jones QC told APNZ today ( 19 August 2014 ) that the appeal would be heard in Wellington on October 29.

Justice Edwin Wylie sentenced Banks to two months community detention after finding him guilty of filing the return without recording the origin of two $25,000 donations from entrepreneur Kim Dotcom.

Following the verdict, Banks said outside the High Court at Auckland: “Since the finding of guilt, fresh, new, unimpeachable, watertight evidence has emerged. That new evidence completely contradicts much of the evidence given in the court.

“We’re looking forward to taking that … to the Court of Appeal.”

Should John Banks be successful with his appeal, there is good reason to believe he may, then Penny will owe John Banks a full unreserved apology.

I am afraid that you are confusing Bright with Cunliffe.

Unlike Cunliffe, Bright doesn’t do apologies, nor does she acknowledge errors — a fact clearly illustrated earlier today.

Ring, ring: “Who is there”? “It is David Cunliffe, am I speaking to Len Brown? I wish to meet with you, could we take in lunch somewhere”? “Definitely David, I prefer Asian, so let’s share one in the Whatu Room”.

Maybe it won’t be quite so cut & dried for the conservonutters after all. Their desire to meddle in everyone else’s affairs could impact on them too:

….”Conservative Epsom candidate Christine Rankin today revealed a secret tax plan to radically increase excise tax on alcohol in order to fund their $20,000 income tax-free threshold”….

THEN

….” the Conservative Party intends to raise an additional $4 billion in tax revenue by increasing taxes levelled on alcohol.”….

AND

….” less than $1 billion of tax revenue is currently raised from alcohol excise tax. In order to raise an extra $4 billion, it would require the Government to increase taxes on alcohol by 400%.”….

Ref: http://www.act.org.nz/posts/conservatives-secret-tax-agenda-revealed

The communion wine & the half bottle of gin to get fired up enough to beat the wife & kids may sky-rocket.
