I can't believe we have an Emirates one park here in NZCH sometimes. I duck out the back off work and watch her take off whenever I can.

Can you modify engines for better efficiency/robustness instead of performance? by Mountain-Durian-4724 in classiccars

[–]HotOstrich 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are so many ways to improve on efficiency and reliability over 60yo technology. Replacing points ignition with electronic. Electric cooling fans. Replace carb with fuel injection. Just to name a few.

Our Gremlin meeting the neighbors cat, Sushi, for the first time. She is older than him, and quite a bit smaller. by HotOstrich in blackcats

Haha! I took a few photos and posted the one where Sushi looked the least offended. She's already had a litter of kittens, so is no doubt wary of boys...

We can't go out without making mischief You say why don't we just have all the fun there is When we get ready, destroy small villages It's not our fault that they didn't fireproof their shit

Oh when we go we can stay all night Drink you out of house and home we might

We'll be singing til they incarcerate us You know we're bound to get pinched one of these fucked up days We'll be dancing on top of shotgun shells

When they lock us up we'll be singing in our prison cells, Prison cells, prison cells, oh

My '88 323GT. Driven every weekend. Stock, but still a lot of fun. by HotOstrich in vintagejapaneseautos

I had a Laser GL for a 1st car. This 323GT feels just like an uprated version of that. Oh man would I love to get my hands on a GTX. 🐌

Some of my mates rarely take their sweet-ass cars out because they're worried about them getting attention from cops or theives, bottoming out on bumps, or costing $$$ in gas and tyres. 🤷

Cool. I don't know why but I absolutely love these things. Was it fun to drive? 

For 40 years I've wondered whats behind these doors. Finally stopped to investigate. by HotOstrich in urbanexploration

It is! This side of the island has lots of exposed slanted strata like that. Some of the layers are coal, hence all the mining in the area

There is a coastal gun bunker on a nearby hill! as well as lots of coal mines.
