Because Australia.

[VFR800]

Burnouts, like drinking alcohol, are both national sports down here.

 

 

Specially in the "Heart of the Nation" Canberra where they have the annual SummerNats - like a Canby for hoons.

'cuz you own ute X2 and you want to fog out the neighborhood

 

I love the smell of hot brakes, burning racing fuel from a highly tuned engine at full song, and the smell of rubber as tires are used at their limits.

 

Oh, baby!

I wanna be an Aussie.

[Ratwagon1600]

I wanna be an Aussie.

Sadly dude, many do, even more fail in their aspirations!

 

Heres some hints from RW on how to suceed.

 

1. Learn that your liver is the most evil organ in your body and it must be ruthlessly and mercilessly punished.

2. Develop a sense of irony, a great sense of humour and a relaxed attitude to life.

3. Understand that rear tyres on any vehicle only exist to be turned into smoke.

4. In sporting endeavours between Australia and New Zealand, passionately support Australia, unless it is another team playing New Zealand at which time your alleigance will switch to the team opposing NZ.

5. Realise, vegimite is a food from god himself and that to truly be an Aussie, you will need to eat it by the spoonful.

6. Know the value of a good stick, and the need to carry water with you when heading outside of suburbia.

7. When drinking beer, never! Ask for a fosters unless you wish to be ridiculed by true Aussies.

8. Keep achievements and big noting to youself; a true Aussie judges another person on their humbleness, and their ability to keep their mouths shut.

9. Smile inside, knowing that Australia is one of the greatest places to live on the whole planet.

10. Never fuck with the local flora or fauna, if its not a domesticated pet i.e. A dog, it will kill you.

 

Armed with the above knowledge you may now commence your training in becoming an (honorary) Aussie!

So your pride is in your humility.

So your pride is in your humility.

In a nutshell, yes.

#2 & #3 must mess with the locals when they realize the car they stole is FWD.

 

#10 blue ring octopus. Once bitten, maybe enough time to put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

 

Getting down under still on the list

Nope just fry the front ones instead.. Pull ebrake on really hard or chain back of car to a tree; problem solved!

 

 

#10 blue ring octopus. Once bitten, maybe enough time to put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye.

 

Dont forget the sea wasp, Geographer cone snail, Box jellyfish, Yellow bellied sea snake, Beaked sea snake, Portugese man o war, Stone fish, Blue bottle, Great white shark, Bull shark, Salt water crocodile, Tiger shark, Reef stone fish, Smooth toadfish. Swim anyone?

 

 

Getting down under still on the list.

 

If you ever make it im sure VTR will have South East Queensland covered for you. I'll show you around Sydney and Canberra.

A crystal clear morning walking the pooch.  The air this morning tastes like liquid silk and has a beautiful crisp feel and mountain chill to it.  Perfect to soothe RW's hangover.

 

 

The things you see when you dont have a gun.  Mob of Roo's adjacent to the walking trail.

 

 

Some shots of the hills and mountains.

So, RW and VTR, what side are y'all from? The cat or the dog?

Never seen the country described like this before.

 

Theres only one side to be on and thats the East coast.

 

VTRs up just north of the New South Wales border, and me, well theres this little half moon shaped bit in the bottom right hand corner of NSW. Thats where I hail from.

[VFR800]

Like RW,I've never seen the cat/dog head thing about the countries shape.

 

I'm in Queensland.

Local public station running the series 800 words. 2nt show season 1, the book club bit where the woman says this is were we stop talking about books and start drinking wine, who all brought a bottle and everyone lifts up one. Love the black holden wagon. Cool landscape views. The women play an interesting passive aggressive role.

[a.d._510_n_ok]

 

Are these things protected by law or can you hit one and just keep on truckin' like you do when you hit a coyote or a dog?

[Ratwagon1600]

^^^^ Nup. 

 

Mow em down and keep on rolling!

 

The kind thing to do when you hit one (they do a LOT of damage to cars) if they are still alive is to take your stick (no self respecting Aussie is ever without one) and bludgeon the thing to death.

[angliagt]

                          If we did that over here,the animal rights people (& maybe PETA),

would have us hauled off to jail.

Its a really simple solution for us mate!

 

Fuck the advocay groups (including shitbags like PETA); we have soooooooo mucccccchhhhhh bushland to dispose of these pricks in!

alright - gonna troll you a bit. the NRA and GOA showed hundreds of pictures of Aussies lining up to surrender their guns after the Port Arthur massacre. Were these pics real?

Sadly, yes.

 

We have had two enforced buybacks.

 

One in 1996 when a deranged retard called Martin Bryant killed 35 innocent people.

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia)

 

As a result, semi auto centrefire rifles and pump,action shotguns were banned and the Government implemented a compulsory compensable surrender of these types of firearms.

 

The 2nd was in 2003 (after a spate of handgun shootings) when semi auto pistols with a barrel length of less than 125 millimeters and revolvers with a barrel length of less than 100 millimeters were banned resulting in another compulsory compensable surrender.

 

Additionally, high capacity magazines were banned (10 round only allowed now) and unless your gun is black powder or single action, the calibre can be no greater than .38/9mm which has resulted in the most fucked up and unworkable gun laws known to man!

                          Will you come & get them,or do we have to deliver them to you?

[Ratwagon1600]

^^^ Easier for me if you deliver them.

 

Youll see from previous pictures some of the bushland I have been referring to :)

[thisismatt]

So what you're saying is...time to invade 'straya?
