Amazing!
A Land Rover Defender drives up a “Real Man’s” 4WD track.
One brave soul attempted it in a Land cruiser but failed before even getting both sets of wheels on the ramp. He is currently at home trying to fix his exhaust.
The video was taken at the Maitland 4WD Camping Show 2009 and the ramp is 5.5M above the ground.
The majority of the drive is done with the driver seeing nothing but sky.
This is what happens when a mother leaves a band geek father and his son alone in the kitchen.
Enjoy!
Forget baking bread, one father and son have been busy cooking up music hits in their kitchen.
Russ and Toby Bauer from Brisbane, Australia, are seen in a new video performing a rendition of Freaks by Sydney-based house DJ Timmy Trumpet.
Russ is seen blasting away on the trombone, while his ten-year-old accompanist, Toby, enthusiastically sounds some bass beats using the oven door.
As he powerfully raps the kitchen appliance, the young musician nods his head in time.
Both performers complete their look with dark Blues Brothers-style sunglasses.
The duo was filmed by Russ’ daughter and Toby’s sister, Jess.
Apparently Mrs Bauer was sat in the living room at the time, no doubt wincing every time she heard the oven door strike.
When he’s not entertaining at home, Russ teaches performance music at Sheldon College in Queensland.
Caine Eckstein broke not one but two Guinness World Records doing 4210 pull-ups in 12 hours.The previous record within 12 hours was 4,024 pull-ups; 24 hours was 4,182.
The Australian Ironman and five time winner of the gruelling Coolangatta Gold challenge broke the record on the Today show.
Caine Eckstein is an Australian Ironman champion and a Guinness World Record holder. Recently, on the set of the Today show, he completed 4,210 pull-ups in 12 hours. This secured for him the record for the greatest number of pull-ups in both 12 and 24 hours.
To perform this incredible feat, Eckstein did 6 pull-ups every minute for the first 10 hours of his attempt, then 5 pull-ups every minute for the last 2 hours.
After hearing President Obama hail Australian gun laws, Nick Adams wrote this excellent open letter.
Dear Mr. President,
You recently hailed “Australian gun laws”.
In doing so:
- you praised a government for forcefully removing all semi-automatic firearms from its populace,
- you admired the banning and confiscation of guns.
We expect to hear that from a European leader. But not you.
You’re the leader of America:
- the world’s first free country,
- the nation that has inspired many to be free,
- that has protected the freedom of others,
- that has spread more freedom than any other.
I am an Australian and I must set the record straight.
The “success” of the 1996 Australian gun reform is a myth.
The only thing achieved was to take away the guns of the law-abiding, leaving only the criminals armed. Is this what you wish for America?
In Australia, if a citizen has firearms, the police have a right to search their property without a warrant any time. Does that sound like America?
The laws you praise outlawed the Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun that my father played with as a child. Now you need a special permit, gun safe and serial number.
For what?
There are just as many guns on the street today. Gun crime is no lower. In Australia, mass shootings have been a rare event. If strict gun laws mean no massacres, explain Britain’s
Cumbria shootings, Monkseaton and Dunblane. Or Anders Breivik of Norway?
Gun laws achieve very little.
Mass shootings are about illness, not guns. Any other so-called “gun issue”, if there are any, is related to the breakdown of the family, cultural decline and the age of entitlement.
The Second Amendment defines American exceptionalism. It speaks to the character of America, and reflects why America is America.
Civilian disarmament is based on the assumption that people are irresponsible (unless they work for the government). America was founded on the opposite premise.
Don’t make America a namby-pamby society.
The right to bear arms is not wrong nor unnecessary. It is:
- the greatest test of genuine freedom,
- the best protection of you, your family and your property,
- the ultimate deterrent against government overreach.
The Constitutional right to bear arms is pivotal. The American idea is a value system. If you take away the guns of America, you take away America.
Mr. President, your country is the one the world relies on. Right now, it is at a tipping point.
Forget guns.
Focus on: ending the waste, paying back the debt, limiting the government and axing political correctness. That’s how you’ll get America to boomerang.
Your country is the greatest in the world, and respectfully, Sir, you should stop apologizing for it. Keep it up, and America will be just another European state. And that’s not good for anyone.
Yours Sincerely,
