WRX Wet Pan Madness

Last Wednesday was awesome. My work place is not exactly famous for being kind to it's workers. So when the news came in that we were to be attending a Subaru driving session at Eastern Creek I took to it with open arms.

 

Had the honour of being driven around the wet pan at Eastern Creek Raceway in a Subaru WRX with one of Australia's premier rally drivers. This was the same guy that freaked big Chief Harrigan on the Footy Show in the Dare Devils segment in Canberra. I can see why he got scared. This guy is awesome... I mean nuts!

 

Got some photo's up on Flickr at the moment and click here to see the video of my ride with the WRX on You Tube.

 

 

Everyone... EVERYONE! Meet Jedda

Yutang has long wanted to meet up with the new puppy at my parents place. Since our long time family dog, Snoopy, died, Patch has been a bit lonely. It took a lot of convincing but my dad finally decided to get a new puppy for the "change of guards" so to speak. So introducing "Jedda"!

Jedda is a great cross breed. Part Kelpie and part Blue Cattle Dog. Perfect dog for the country and extremely smart breed. Perhaps one of the smartest dogs you could hope to find.

Kinda funny how my mum would go about calling the new puppy Jedda. I had just finished explaining to my wife that Jedda would make a good name for a dog. Jedda comes from the first Australian movie to be shot in colour. The movie was a cultural hit. A sad love story about a half aboriginal/ white girl who ends up in a love triangle that leads to trouble.

Yutang loved the story behind the name and named one of her Nintendog puppies, Jedda.

Forward on 2 months later and we get news that a new puppy was entering the family and my mum had called the pup... Jedda! How this coincidence came about I simply don't know but the name is a great one and suits this great little girl!

Hooters Makes Rashid Happy

Long term rivals at our indoor cricket centre, "Grumpy Old Men", have gone and upstaged everyone by getting the ultimate in sponsorship deals. Grumpy Old Men have now grabbed an exclusive deal with Hooters Restaraunt (Parramatta), famous for their great looking staff and food!

 

Very hard to focus when two fine looking models are staring down the barrel. Not sure how the fulltime photographers do it!
