A link to an awesome video by scorpio373 about the Australian SASR, more specifically Tactical Assault Group - East (TAG - E). A video about their training, even in this kind of situation they are no doubt very accurate and very deadly. Just lovin' those gas mask uniforms! BTW, ADHO, I am too tired about my experience in a car crash to PM you about it, but I wrote about it in Car Talk. Here's the link to the page. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?...5&start=555

Big Cam, my story is one of a complete idiot who rammed our car, 'accidentally' she said. Some idiot hit us in a minor car accident on this street intersection (with lights). She hit us on the right side of our boot and shifted the whole chasis forward(my personal accident damage assessment - MPADA). The front right door won't close properly and the rear right won't even open. I know you may have guessed, but the boot won't open either. The boot is pretty much broken, with the tailights hanging out as well as the wheel-well has been smashed with the mudguard and the metal chasis behind it so close that it is basically shaving the wheel. I will upload pictures soon though. No one is hurt badly, but it it is the first time I evr rode backwards in an ambulance. The car that hit us, is a Toyota Lancruiser 200s Series GXL V8 Wagon. It is mid-2000 model and didn't suffer a scratch, IT DIDN'T HAVE A BULL-BAR, YET IT BROKE OUR CAR! The driver was so annoying, it is amazing I didn't shout my head off at her. She said things like, "Are you okay?" I know that many people would say this but she kept saying it in a careless tone all the time and she bolted in her car once she heard the ambos say that the cops will be here shortly. What happened is we were turning left but a person was walking across the road. No worries mate, we'll wait. But the stupid woman in the Landcruiser just bucked us off into the street at about 40Kph to 60Kph. She didn't care, all she wanted was licence numbers and regos so she could call her lawyers. STUPID GIT SHE WAS! Now our '98 Holden Commodore is broken and almost beyond repair. I'll post pictures and a full damage report when it is found. BTW, it was 14th November

Because its the 'complete idiots' that sit in the office all day and make phone calls to their precious companies that don't know how to drive. That's why they employ chaffuers to drive them everywhere and anywhere, so when some company like Bugatti release some insanely expensive car, they 'complete idiot' buys one because they think it would show off their wealth. Only problem is that since they employed a chaffuer to drive them they forgot to drive themselves. I think I explained it well.

Good thing too, I don't like their cars. Yes, I agree! BMW, although they may be strange in the way they arrange headlights or where they put the airbox on the G450X, but they are nevertheless insanely cool. The only thing that might be a problem is price for parts. I think that BMW is the only company that can truly create a nice-looking bike with different headlights. The CBR600R looks nice though. To news now. Pictures of the pre-production KTM 350 motocrosser is available at Dirt Action Australia website. Looks good. In the paper today were pictures of a 'naked' BMW F800R. It must be a new model because there would be absolutely no reason otherwise to show it, well here it is. Here is the G450X. I think it is absolutely awesome. What do you think about it?

Yes, I had a go at it! The above clone is a High-Altitude Paratrooper. By the way, ADHO, do you want a Paint challenge? Then I suggest you model a SAS/SASR trooper. Yes, they are fearsome looking.

Wow, Pedro, that is amazing! Just as Clone Commander Assassin pointed out, great handlebars! They look kinda funny at how the tap pieces are used but it is awesome!

I love kick-starts! I think that they are symbolic, a logo of the dirt bike. Without it, what would the scene of the rider kicking his bike to life be? About piecing your ankle, not that I'm blaming you, but maybe boots should have been worn at the time.

What do you think of it? I always thought of a Motorbike, expecially a Dirt Bike as dirty machines that you will get wet, muddy and a smell full of burnt petrol. I still do, and I love them for that. That noise of the engine revving its cam out and punching you over some bumpy ground. But with an electric bike: -no noise -no smell of burnt petrol -no vibrations of that single piston -you have to charge it for hours I can live with bio-fuels, but not this. Its not normal. Also, Big Cam, I noticed you live in Iceland. It must snow there so have you ridden Snocross? I'd love to try it myself too. Thanks for the comments on the 100 too.

I concentrate so hard I almost popped a vein when I built the UT-AT. It was so hard to keep it accurate for the contest.

Ha, I love that set. Since I'm in the 4000s I knew I don't have it. Well what do you know, its the 4742 Chill Speeder from Alpha Team! Ha, I've seen that before though.

Well, I don't know myself. I am relentlessy pumping MODs through Lego Star Wars MODS like this one. But for actual MOCs, I am not sure. Of the most accurate would be the Lego Quad Bike. Here. For the best Lego Star Wars (my main Lego flagship forum) would be the UT-AT. I entered it in a contest, but unfortunately I was phased out from a internet problem so I couldn't finalize the pictures. Oh well, but here it is. But for my most favourite, for my most absolute biggest MOC ever built would be Istariot, and he is here. Well, what are you waiting for? What is your favourite MOC/MOD?

This is what I'll be riding: Honda XR100R GOLDIE OLDIE! No, it is a great bike. Yes it may cough up blood and yes it may not have the best engine in the world but it definately won't give up without a fight. At about 78cm for a seat height, it isn't the standard size so the CRF150R may not be out of the question but if I was going to race in the Junior Motocross teams (watch out for me, I'll tell you when I make it to the Nationals or Internationals. I know I may be dreaming, but I'll get there, you watch) then I would be happy about the bike under my bum, the XR100R. In fact, my uncle had a bit of trouble kickstarting it but his relentless pursuit of that spark meant that the bike was going to live, eventually. "See you there on the track!"

You want to see a hardcore 4WD? Here it is... Introducing the truck that was tested by none other than Top Gear's Richard Hammond, welcome the Bowler Wildcat. One bloody freak of a car, it will punch you through the roughest of terrain while maintaining its speed. It is available in 4, 4.6 or 5 litre V8 engine displacements or even a 2.8 Turbo Deisel variant The newest member of the feline family is the Nemisis, which has 410 torques. Well if you wanted to perform a steep hillstart you would want some form of acceleration, wouldn't you. But hang on, there is one more challenger for this title, only this time it has a top speed of 100kph. But I doubt it will need the speed for it has a side machine gun with an approximate range of over 800 metres and a main gun that will gun you down at 200 rounds per minute. Its main gun will fire effectively at up to 3800 metres, but maximum range is thousands of metres more. Meet the ASLAV. Yes, it weighs at over 13 tonnes.

Definately a new General Grievous, or Boba/Jango Fett. Thats what I want and I think many of you can say the same.

An AT-AT with an awesome troop hold would be great although it may have some problems, like all of them do. The first one: some problems like its head falling off and the legs didn't look that strong either. The 2nd one: had its whole backside full of PF functional motors and battery boxes.

If your in the market for a motocross dirt bike, then your dream is reality. But for factory enduros like the CRF450X or WRF450F it is not so quite yet.

Yes a single mold, hopefully with detachable arms. For some reason I think I have seen one before. Yes I was right. I HAD SEEN ONE BEFORE. It isn't an official one of course, I don't think.

Toyota has come up with a replacement for its awesome Celica. That was some car (and still is). The FT-86. It sounds like the BT-50 but sportier. It is leaner, meaner and supposedly greener? Okay, it has a huge grill, menacing headlights and one helluva bonnet. That's saying something too. Great alloy wheels and a funny-looking side mirror, what has Toyota done. http://www.autoguide.com/gallery/d/96623-4...ncept-press.jpg Well it is a concept, but Toyota has shown the fact that they feel the need for speed...in the form of a new sports model. They made it quite clear. The Toyota Celica; the FT-86 has a lot to live up to.

Yes the Hayabusa is right up there. If you want to see how fast it goes, or are brave or foolish enough to do so, then go to a racetrack for 100% more fun. Best thing is that there are no other cars to run into. But as I kinda like Sport Bikes, only a 250 to 700 please I'm too scared to go for anything higher. Maybe I will one time... Well I do ride Dirt Bikes and they are slower, but after riding over rough ground it seems fast. Suzuki have announced the RMX-Z450. It is basically the new Fuel Injected variant of the RM-Z450 (pictured below) Only that this one has a headlight, so it can be converted for road use and Enduro work. It may have a bigger fuel tank for longer range (I think I heard that somewhere). It is equipped with a bashplate as standard and may have an electric start? As well as this, the smaller displacement competition bikes (Honda CRF250R and the Yamaha YZ250F) are starting to appear. Also, quoted by Dirt Action Australia, KTM have been found testing a 350cc 4-stroke. If this is correct, I think KTM will have more followers than before as this size bike is ideal for the rider (who is older, less confident, etc) but still wants more grunt than a 250 but less than a 450. That's my news on the Dirty World (Dirt Bikers), don't get the wrong idea.

Toyota has a huge grip on the future of almost everything with a motor. As said by Top Gear (I think) they have the money and designing capabilities to create the kind of sport cars that rival German BMWs etc. They could grip motorcycling whenever they want, but I think they've been planning for a while now. Concepts plan the future, sometimes. I think I'd be better off buying a Honda. I wouldn't get a bad time from my cousin as we all own Hondas We would all have the same bike, so it would be fair racing For four-strokes I think I would prefer Honda as my first bike now But I have been considering it so don't think I asked you for nothing. I would buy any brand but for now, it'll be red. Thanks

Why? You can't combine video games with reality, and I'd choose reality. It looks like no one apart from Toyota just can't make a good 4WD car anymore. Excluding the Tritons, BT-50s and the Navadas, (all commercial utes) the only rough-&-tough 4 by 4 is a Land Cruiser 70s.

Grievous is amazing. For accuracy the only problem is his face, its so cute and amazing (If you told Grievous that, he would hate it; personally I like it that way)

Well, enough of Harley talk as it looks like Toyota is keen to get into the motocross business. Say hello to the JGR/Toyota Concept Bike. It is derived from a Yammie YZ450F and started modifying it from there. It has clocked up almost 100 hours and looks great too. With over 17 contributers for parts, it looks like Toyota has taken an interest, a big interest. It can only get better from here. Dirt Action Australia, article about the concept JGR/Toyota joint project. One helluva bike. If, one of the biggest manufacturer of cars makes it into this market and uses their resources well, I bet many people would venture to ride one, or even buy one. I know I would. Even if Honda may be my bike loyalty brand (I can't change it, they're so reliable) I would still buy one if they do a good job. http://www.flickr.com/photos/toyotausa/4072882008/sizes/l/ Choose original if you want the extreme 5000 by 4000 pixel picture with excellant detail.

Sorry to confuse you all, but that is what we call big blocky vehicles that have bad turning circles (sounds like Lego ) around here (or there). To other news, look at this weird concept. Toyota plans to combine video games and the real world. I guess if you are stuck in traffic... http://www.flickr.com/photos/toyotausa/4072896764/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/toyotausa/4072135943/ But still, who are they kidding!?! It is the stupidest idea ever to occur to anyone (almost). Who would buy it?

General playability options like troop carrying are a must, but if a vehicle like an AT-AT carries troops, then the Lego model should carry troops. Are you with me?
