I reckon he’d probably publicly agree to diffuse the situation and move on... privately would likely be a very different matter.

The difference between the terms mixed reality and augmented is pretty convoluted at this point.

Since I have extensive experience with both, I don’t really feel I need to read reviews. You can also use a large play space with an oculus, no trouble at all.

G’day from Melbourne too :) Are you a part of the Vic 86 BRZ club? I only just bought my car / joined myself. Would love to get it to the track at some stage.

I've gotten dints etc out of cars before using a strong suction cup. A GoPro suction cup mount works well. If you can't source one of those, try a GPS one.

Yeah it would definitely fit in the back with the wheel off. However I often go camping with the bike. So I'd need that space for sleeping gear. That twin hitch looks promising. I have a bike wrack...

I'm also interested in this. so long as it's fairly easily removable. I'd like to be able to transport my mountain bike.

Same. My OCD (for lack of a better description) for symmetry gets triggered with off centre number plates.

I had no idea it was legal anywhere to not have front plates.

You'd get done in minutes here in Australia for not displaying a number plate without good reason.

If it's dry the Ferraris will come through the pack. I reckon Verstoppin is due for a decent result. As an outside bet, I'll predict he somehow nabs a podium. Hamilton will disappear into the sunset....

That would have to be nearly 30 years ago now. It's a hell of a lot trickier these days.

I can't see Max getting a Ferrari seat to be honest. They have always been happier with a clear 1 and 2 driver combo. I think Leclerc is more likely to replace Kimi. Out of the RBR guys, Dan makes...

What is your favorite BRZ color that is NOT the color you own?

World Rally Blue. I bought a crystal white pearl and don't regret it. But the blue is really nice.

I was trying to decide between the two for a while.

An engine is an engine for the most part. You need to get the piston rings to seat properly to the cylinder wall. It creates more power and less blow-by.

Jesus that's a large price hike for the same car.

Yeah they seem to be holding value well in Australia anyway which is good. 2012 models still selling for more than $20k.
