So much talking about cars and no one's mentioned that Ginger Baker died?

Kinda hate finding out this way, but it's not like we were old pals. He was one of that old guard that got me on my way though.
Every few weeks it becomes clearer that some of us should turn it up and not let it get quiet...

Good day for football! My team (Oakland Raiders) squeaked out a win over the Bears in the final minute of the game held in London. Couldn't believe how into the game the London fans were, most were supporting Chicago but the 60,000 person stadium was rockin! Then got to see the final few minutes of a blow out Rugby World Cup game between NZ and Nambia in Japan where the All Blacks made a picture perfect textbook drive on their final score.

Are there any professional sports teams sporting the THUNDERBIRD name?

And the NRL Grand Final was yesterday. The Sydney Roosters defeated the Canberra Raiders (where did they get that name :) ) in a controversial result.

(Don’t think because Roosters call themselves “Sydney” that they are this city’s team. Far from it. There are 9 teams from Sydney in the NRL)

Yikes, very tight!
I'd normally say something about wire management, but it looks like everybody is gonna have to stay pretty much stationary, not a lot of room to walk around and trip on cords.
Knock em dead!

Neat wiring is a lost cause with the rest of the band. I had a tough time finding a spot for my pedalboard - had to turn a cymbal stand:wideyed:

Ha! You always look behind the curtain. It’s actually a Mini S (not mine) I was using to follow my bud to get his 1966 Mustang inspected. Surprised at how hard shifting it was. I’ve been battling some rib injury/chronic pain and every shift hurt.
Cool car but I’ve decided I’m past the zippy go cart thing.
Plus, kind of a beach to get a DB in it. Yes, I’ve seen the YT vid but still. I’ll shut up now before the OT timer runs out.
