Fast Fords

If the 9 million plus views of Ken Block and his 600hp Fiesta in Gymkhana four are anything to go by there is definitely a massive interest in a ford with more oomph under the bonnet. The current Focus RS is an awesome car but Ford need to have a consistent hot hatch offer that drivers can buy into year after year. VW has successfully keep the GTI badge alive for decades, ford the other has rolled out the odd hot hatch here and there. Boost the BHP & torque, lose the teenage interior, don't let local market mess with the driving dynamics and they will be onto a winner.

KitKat Cookies & Cream

KitKat bars are addictive, it was a shame when they lost the ritual of foil and paper wrapping on the original bar. This Cookies & Cream chunky version tasted pretty good.

In the pit

A frame grab from my bodged together Gopro camera wrist mount. I think I might have to
upgrade to the HD Gopro to improve the image quality.

Fern Tree House



Happened across this cool mountain house while flicking through Houses magazine issue #74.
It would great to build a house from scratch.

Method Baby bubbly bath

This bubbly bath from Method has much character.
The little fella's kinda reminds me of Arabia tableware and even Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin's characters such as Bagpuss.

The Knobble II

The Knobble II kinda looks like a giant plastic nibble, but don't let that distract you. The form makes it easy to apply focused pressure on
sore trigger points.

Mr Brown

Coffee connoisseurs would probably be disgusted with Mr Brown and his peers
but I've become quite fond of coffee from a can over ice since visiting Japan.

Jacked

I walked pass this master piece of jacking awhile back on the way up the hill.
It turns out they were craning in modules of a house
featured on Grand Design Australia.

Pearl Royal

I've never seen such an over packaged drink, though gotta say it looked awesome
on shelf and tasted pretty good too!

Man Can 2

710ml, 99.40grams of sugar, 227.20mg of caffeine, 2840.00mg of taurine.
'Consume no more than 500ml per day' I would say, thats
a probably good idea!

Surf Pump

Its been pumping on and off the last couple weeks.
The wind was a bit off for this spot but at least we didn't have any crowds to content with.

Marlboro Country Store



Smoking is a pretty self destructive habit but if you're gotta light up you might as well look cool as a cowboy. I never heard anyone actually use 'howdy' as greeting until I stayed with friends in the Tetons in Wyoming, proper cowboy country.

Movement Photo Annual

I remember reading Annuals as a kid. Pouring over the pages of 2000AD bound between hard covers made it feel pretty special. Movement magazine's latest offering is pretty special too, jammed packed full of amazing photography of waves that you'll hope to ride or even witness someday.

I love magazines

Its true, I love magazines.
Don't get me wrong I think the web is great the latest info on your chosen subject but nothing beats flicking through the latest edition of your favourite mag. Of late I've become a fan of Spoke magazine, it has a National Geographic feel to its photos. What really has pushed this publication ahead of the competition is the quality of writing and creative thought put into its layout.
