It is amazing the difference in culture that parts of Europe and the USA have guns around and have legal rights to own them. Yet in Australia to own a gun you HAVE to keep it at a gun range.

Donīt get me started on guns.. :D

I have been re-ripping all of my CDs to new MP3s. I made my MP3s the first time way back in the stone ages when Sid was in grade school. I was using my Windows 95 machine with a 1 or 2 gig hard drive. After a dozen CDs, I had to copy the MP3s to CDs and DVDs just to have room on my hard drive. Over the years many of the MP3 tags have been garbled. The music plays but the information is just unknown album or unknown artist. There was no art-work associated with any of those old files.

Now I am re-ripping at a higher quality and the magic of the internet makes it very easy. I have about 100 CDs and I am just slapping in a cd and let it RIP. I checked my hard drive and I only have 890 GB of room left. :)

The thing that blows me away the most is I will have room for every CD I own on my phone, with room to spare.

G, it is good to see you back in upload photos mode. Now if we can just get Markus back on a regular basis maybe we can "Markus" him again. :)

Hi Glen

I'm trying to be more regular, but it's not as easy with the new job and all.. It is a part of the job I don't like, no possibility to go online and surf for a few hours...
Right now, my bowelmovements are more regular then my posts... :D

I like guns as much as the next guy, but I would not want the US gun policy implemented here. For now, we are pretty safe, sans guns. I know it is hard to believe but it's true. Times change and maybe one time everybody will need a gun here too. But to be so totally gun reliant as some on the board here are (gun in the waist band, in the glove box, in the kitchen drawer, in the living room, on the nightstand....) that would be like living in a prison for me.

I think the doc agrees. Hi Markus, stop being a stranger.

rick... good lord, that is an arsenal you have!

Geronimo '74 02-21-2012 08:07 AM

I shot all those spoons when I was over there. Great fun.
They're not all Rick's. His dad brought his guns too.
The Uzi was surprisingly easy to aim and shoot.

Digging the Audi G... You know I love the VAG stuff...

Porsche-poor 02-21-2012 08:45 AM

hello all. another fine cold rainy day in PNW.

GH85Carrera 02-21-2012 08:49 AM

How unusual ;)

Porsche-poor 02-21-2012 08:50 AM

sort of. its not cold out.

GH85Carrera 02-21-2012 08:51 AM

Today the weather is wonderful in Oklahoma. The high in the upper 60s and clear blue sky. Tomorrow is supposed to be mid 70s. I may have to drive the 911 to work just because it will be Wednesday.

At least no white fluffy crap or even worse that frozen clear slippery stuff!

I love this freaking car. Now I just need to keep things in check until tomorrow morning when the radar detector shoes up. The car cruises way too easily at 95+

It's not mine yet. Bmw Z4 is also a contender.

I looked at one of those very briefly. Nice cars, just not enough room for me.

Porsche-poor 02-21-2012 10:28 AM

nope no ice or snow.

Geronimo '74 02-21-2012 10:45 AM

How tall are you? I'm six feet.
I sure hope I fit in at least one of them.

HHI944 02-21-2012 10:48 AM

A little confusion.....I needed more storage room. Actually, the Z4 was very comfortable, even with the roof up and im 6ft and 230lbs

Geronimo '74 02-21-2012 10:58 AM

Oh, ok.
Storage I don't need much of.
My wallet and some condoms and I'm all set. :D

Ok Boys and Girls ! the Stijn has found his soulmate.

She's from Springfield, and about 44.3 inches tall
From the looks of it, it's not a standard, cause of the Stainless Barrel
Not a Loaded either, cause of the hooded aperture.

So that makes it a National Match
national match gas system assembly, national match front sight, national match hooded
rear sight assembly, national match trigger assembly and flash suppressor. Custom glass bedded in a match grade American walnut stock.



Barrel:
22”, 6 Groove, 1:11 Right Hand Twist,
Stainless Steel, National Match
Medium Weight, Premium Air Gauged


Front Sight: National Match .062” Military Post
National Match Hooded Aperture,

Rear Sight:
Adjustable, One-half Minute
Windage and Elevation


Trigger:
2 Stage Military Trigger, Match Tuned,
4.5 - 5 lbs

Came from a collector, there is no wear and tear, barrel looks brand new.
So they told me it hasn't been fired yet, and i see no indication otherwise.

it was priced at a very ,VERY good price.. if i were to import a new one myself
i would easily see another grand added to the price, if not more.

Needless to say, i've put my money down.
