Thanks to those who viewed and commented on my jet ski shots. There was some curiosity if the guys landed up the right away. The answer is most of the time.

This sequence is world champion jet ski freestyler Lee Stone. You may recognise him from the shot in my gallery of him jumping over one of his buddies. 

And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

Wow! That sequential collage is just genious! Would make a great poster at any marina. 😄

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?

Fabulous work again,Richard,and yes,it's good to see that sometimes they are successful...It would be awfully silly of them to keep attempting something that never works out,lol. ;^P

Loved the car shot,too.What a beautiful image that is.

Always happy to see anything you're willing to share with us.

Hi Richard,

 I like fast driving.....( Lamborghini)...but it is, a big time, waste for using such "baby" in town. What the reason for the 12 -cylinder engine in the speed limits zones in all cities and even highways.....as a matter of fact  it is pure cruelty to the poor engine, nothing to offer to the carbon-ceramic brakes to concider.... Unless,  in the race track.....where we can use the max speed and appreciate the great performance .

Btw. the 4 months waiting period is nothing comparing to the time you spend worrying every time you park your car in a public place....( if you will find the car in the same place you have left it, or perhaps with some "addition"  to the body..as;  someone's

initials....). At times I wander if it wouldn't be more healthy, to use the 1horsepower ( such friendly and beautiful as Tom presented in his gallery).

babuci ( ) posted Thu, 03 August 2006 at 9:00 AM

I agree with Tofi! I have only a turbo rx7 not a big raw,  but poor car suffering in a 50 km zone, so as I. Sometimes I ask myself ..." what a hell I doing here? stuck behind grandpa who's out for a weekend practice, I can not pass him. ... then I  pack a  few important belonging with me and had to the country. A real RIDE with my car!  About a parking...just doubble park my little black beast, no scratch on my door. They can not take it, central locking, doubble alarm, tracking device. No point to touch it, stays where masstress left it.

Crazy sport! I love waverunners, but never done anything this extreme. A great series of shots Richard! If I am ever out your way Tofi, you HAVE to take me for a drive!!! =] My in-laws are letting me borrow their '98 Mercedes SL500 while they are up North for the summer. No, they aren't rich, but Lisa's Mom worked for Mercedes so they were able to get a good deal on a used one. Still, that baby is fun to open up, but hard to do that with so many cotton-tops driving like snails around Boca... It goes without saying that I am feeling pretty spoiled these days. There is no way I could afford a car like this. I can barly afford to put gas in it! **~Kort of the Southern Tip of the East Coast**

Oh my didn't realise we had so many petrol heads here !  ![](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/art/emoticons/laugh.gif)

They also had one of these boats - 8lt Engine, 450 hp & 2600W audio system, presumably so they can hear it over the growl of the engine.    One of only two in the world.

Can't wait to see 'em get that to do barrel rolls and back flips

Richard-stuck in the middle with you...LMAO!!!!!

I just learned there is a racetrack 2 hours north of here where you can go and step on the gas to your heart's content.Being a bit of a speed freak,that's very appealing to me.Too bad I didn't know about it sooner.

As to having initials scratched on your car,I hear ya,Tofi.My first car,a 78 tranny,once had a big swastika keyed in on the hood...and that was a few months before she was stolen...

And my M3 got totally mauled on my driveway,practically stripped,in the middle of the night,in my quiet little neighborhood.Alarm system and all. :(

So now I have three big dogs...no way to 'dismantle' that alarm system,lol.

Sorry to hijack your thread,Richard.I'll be good. ;^)

@Onslow and other car lovers...

I was lucky to see this Bugatti Veyron while in Germany earlier this year...for those interested, 1001 HP, top speed about 400kmh, only 50 being made this year....and, oh yes, a cool $1.1 million Euros. 

No, I didn't buy it....LOL!....just glad the guy let me take a photo.

Oooh I love really oooooooooooooold Bugatti's.What gorgeous works of art they were.I dream of owning an classic old car like that...but having no garage makes that rather impractical...especially given my 'driveway' history... :^(

Great shot  of that beautiful car,Gradient.  :^)

And thanks for the go-ahead,Richard. Here,here...or is it hear,hear? I have no idea,lol.  :^)

Woow Gradient ...one hell of a posh car...wonder would my kitchen shopping fit in there  ![](http://www.renderosity.com/mod/forumpro/art/emoticons/laugh.gif)

After all these blood boiling action cars and skiis, here is my "driving lesson" shot.  Daddy said "in difficult situation never stepp on a break" I did not, I just weard off a road into the dirt ( still flying @ 80-90 km/h). End up 2 1/2 times flipping in the air, crusshing a roof, I am hanging up side down like a bat, still hold by a seat belt, hardly can put my hand between my head and a roof, hatch flipps open and I am waiting for some pain or blood dripping from somewhere....but NOTHING. I am alive. Crawl out of a car, and wait for a road service to pick me up 8 hrs later.

That oopsy made me buy  Ford explorer model another 2 times ( I swapp them every 3 yrs ...garantee purpose,  I drive one V8 version now 2 yrs old) I thought after that crass I walk out it like no injury what so ever, than earned my trust for looon time!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :scared:

How awful,Tunde!!!!!Thank goodness you are alright!

And I'm stunned at you being picked up 8 hours later!Eight hours????Oh my.What a horrible thing.But It's amazing and wonderful that you are alright and walked away from that crash.I can understand you being a loyal 'Explorer' customer. We have one,too,and now I feel pretty happy about that.

So,thank you for that and also for sharing your story with us.All the best to you.

Nevertheless...I will go for a ride with you, Tundee. I have visited a few ditches in my driving career as well....lots of laughs and tears..... The blue Bugatti is very exclusive car, surely deserves the standing ovulation's!!!!!! Produced in limited numbers and I'll bet you, still ( as in the past ) with the special clause in the buying contract to whom you may resell it ( the approved by Bugatti people....)This baby ..I think...is the Mega , 16-cylinder quad turbo engine, which can stop from 250mph to still point in less than 10 seconds. Very unique tyres in all aspects, to handle the performance of this car. I believe the supplier is Michelin. Most definitely I would still go for the Bugatti Mega-Beast...if only....I wouldn't get more interested in other endeavours than cars . Tofi of the Northern Hemisphere

Marlene, my ooopsy happened out nowhere in a the outback a nearest town was 400 km.  ( was some small village as well but they did not have a road service to tow me into town) . I am glad You have an explorer too, no worry You and your family safe as, what ever might happening on a road. But don't take it to the sand dunes...hopeless there.

Tofi...of the northern hemisphere    I need a Bugatti, so I can stop in time to dodge a stupy kangooroo who want to race me!   I learned my lesson too, I am a safe driver now, long time did not visit any ditch!

OH MY GOD!!! :ohmy: That was one nasty crash Tunde! And 400km from the nearest town.....WOOOOOOOOOW......you really were in the outback. Did ya happen to see that Steve Irwin-guy? LOL. I´m happy to know you didn´t got more hurt.

So Tunde....did you migrate while i was sleeping or something? Moved up north with me? :tt2:
