No problem, I'm not concerned with rep, just thought it was funny - maybe you were schitzo.

Sorry, I didn't take any others. I will up a higher res one later for you. Unfortunately I took it from the wrong side too (in the shade).

Can't really see in the pic, but if you look closely you'll see that every edge on this car has chrome attached to it. Nasty.




And this is pure awesome.

Some non car stuff.




This stuff is fan-bloody-tastic....




Don't know if you can tell, but this bar is about 1m deep. Weird.




Can you pick what's wrong here?




And this is an "educational" colour television. It doesn't receive anything with Paris Hilton in it.

Mr. Clooney.

These are silly ads for a family car. One shows him parking, buying a ticket, putting it on the dash and walking away. The other one pulling up at the pump, throwing and empty coffee cup away and filling up. That's it.




A Brando doll. The horror.




I wish we'd gotten some good pics of these guys, there were hundreds of them, popping wheelies and what not. But they almost caused us to miss our exit. They ride slowly and block lanes and generally cause a nuisance. Arsewipes.

Yup, Sea Bass.

It's supposed to be Sea Bus, as in terminal for the Sea Bus but somehow in translation it became a fish.

There's Japanese car manufacturer that translates as "sea bass" when run through an auto translater. I think it was Suzuki, can't remember.

Thing I don't get is, why would you put a deafening, straight-through pipe on a bike with a stereo? There's a reason Japanese people are hard of hearing and and cannot detect distortion.

I'll up a HR version of the 240RS soon, promise.
