Catalina Park is still there but is slowly being reclaimed by nature. It was handed back to the traditional owners years ago and they have left it be because they where kicked out of their homes to make the raceway happen in the first place. Do remember track days happening on occasions in the early 2000's. Very old school track though with not a single runoff area anywhere on the track.

Small correction, the raceway was after the original Catalina Park that the traditional owners were kicked out from. It went broke and then the track came about. The track was spectacularly dangerous and one track day I ran had 5 cars totalled, the worst I saw was 10 cars out of 30 go home either trashed or some sort of wall damage - those sleeper fences were very uyeilding. The exit to the main straight claimed the rear quarter of my RX2 when my then wife spun Still a surprising amount of the track is still there when I rode around it a month ago

Do people still do blockies or has the art died out?quote:Tasmanians and Victorians are more likely to drive a blockie, while Queenslanders are more likely to do a lappy. In Western Australia a blockie is known as a bog lap.

My Olds used to take us in to Ipswich on a Friday night to get pizza and then we'd sit and watch the bogans do laps. I'd like to think that still happens.

One can only hope. As a young ocker there was nothing better than cutting some sick laps and I'd hate to see that die out.

Literally the only thing I know about Lara Bingle is that some network tried to make a reality show about her life, but me and almost everyone else went "who the gently caress is Lara Bingle?" so it was never recommissioned.

Non Compos Mentis posted:why did it take her a minute and a half to actually make fairy bread Serious answer: YouTube’s most important metric is watch time, so people intentionally pad their videos out with rubbish. Same reason that any recipe blog post is paragraphs of bullshit before the actual recipe - because Google’s algorithm thinks the most informative/useful pages are 1000+ words. So you make pointlessly long-winded content. Ain’t technology great!

I've probably mentioned this before, but the very first time I went to Darwin, about 10 years ago, we stayed in this interestingly shaped hotel on the esplanade: I freaked out seeing the plaque inside, it said officially opened 1966! At least something survived Tracy. (And yes, the fire alarm did go off at midnight and we all had to go out on the street, because it's Darwin)

Carlos Lantana posted:the 180b, like the daddo 1600 were really fun, chuckable and cheap My ex had a Datsun 1600 that she got as her first car back in the mid 90's. She was gifted it by her granddad who had bought it new. She sold it a few years back, so hopefully it's either with a collector or getting hot rodded somewhere. It was a pretty sweet car.

Mum and dad both had a range of different Datsuns in the late 70/80’s which all had the boot rot out of. The 1200 dad owned may have had a wood stove placed in the boot before it fell out.
