My first super power & wesbank tonight 11/4/2007

I finally discovered my first super power. To some extent, I have the ability to command the weather, much like Storm does in Xmen, although not as dramatic.

It takes severe mental anticipation to activate my super power and hence I never noticed, until now.

Whenever I start thinking about my first race on a strip I get a bit nervous. By 2pm on the day my nerves are so shot that my super power triggers, which causes it rain over the whole gauteng!!!!!

I have hopefuly exhausted my powers and hope that tonight it doesn't rain again.

Hope to see all of you there..

Phinx, let's have a run, we are very closely matched, I only have a few kw more.

And now, an ode to my car and the weather [last verse] (It's Depeche Mode - Never let me down again):

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never let's me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never let's me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never let's me down again

Never let me down

See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight

COOL!!!

we can start a superpower club - i too have a special gift : pissing people off !!!

and now my turn for a song:

i know a song that irritates people
irritates people

and this is how it goes :

Ok so who's going? Any one keen?

I'll be there, but not in the 200 🙁 otherwise I might be too tempted to drift in a sick car....

My tires are so bad i drift when i do lane changes in a 60 zone. I am tempted to drift or let someone try to drift my car but i'm paranoid and don't have spare tires/rims. Hoping I can have a race or 2 instead.. Do they check your tires before a drag on a wedsday?

What's wrong with your car? Just in case you've said somewhere else, I probably missed it or I'm subconciously trying to blank the memory out.

Damn .............

Not sure if I really want to go. I don't like westbank on wensdays.
But I will make you a deal, If you can get the most of the club there so Vlade, Draco, and everyone else with a SX.

I will gladly make my way there... Lets do a club thing I mean most of use own turbo'ed powerful cars but we are never at the drags

We need 3 for a club, maybe more. You can be my side-kick though?

I get to wear the pink spandex though. And a pointy mask like batman. and Superman's cape..and Peter North's dimensions!

I obviously don't have a working SX, but yeah I'm keen to go or catch a lift with someone...

Damn I forgot...

Are there any working S-13 in the country?

I'm glad you said that. I also think we are wasting away our sx's, not only by not racing, but also by not having CLUB presence, like stickers and stuff. Have sources, the girl who did that orange nissan's vinyls can help us out.

I'm sure Freddie and them will end up going, they are the most consistent wesbank visitors in the club. Not sure how many people we'll get on short notice though, which is why I have requested the regular events sticky thread so we start getting in the habit of going.

I have a 2nd camera that will be leased free of charge to whoever goes to more events than I do. That way we can have more chances to have some photo's [well just like your least favourite aunt you will be thanking me one day for shoving the camera in your face]

Someone should put it on the cell app, I don't see Chemcool on the forums today.

Huh....Freddy and them......let me introduce myself....again: my name is Derek...aka Draco aka ....them.

I'd like to come but I am putting in my gearbox tonight, next wednesday i might be up for it.

I'll put it on the cell app, but someone will need to let me know if it gets cancelled 'cos of rain

Damn qewrty

I want a run with you, I really do but its alot of cash for a Pretoria guy like me driving out there.

Thats why if the club was going i would have been game.

hang on im coooomiiiing elizabethhhh!!!

Well I'll let you off the hook, for now 😈

I am saying this and it basically applies to me as well, I hope none of us get a breakdown until we can have dice!

So I guess that means we aren't going out tonight. TV dinners, yay 😢

From now I will also use the word probably a bit more because it seems I keep making arrangements and then some a$$ named murphy comes along..

Tentatively, I am making arrangements to go to Tarlton tomorrow night 12/4/2007, any1 wanna go, go then, or i mean come with, whatever, just pitch up with a car/motorbike/R50.00 and a pipshield [a.k.a. helmet]

well, has anybody seen "Days of Thunder"? we can always park our tazzes, hondas, peugeots, cortinas, whatever at some spot and see who RUNS the fastest - (yeah with your legs)
not that i do that kinda thing - can't remember how and my leg is asleep

thats not feasible coz:

1-= i only run while powered by some mechanical means, seeing as im STILL waiting for my bionic legs thats not going to happen soon

2-= i only run from the pigs

3-= i only run programs, sometimes i'll alt-tab to the forum to avoid watching my programs run

4-= from number 2, you usually only have to run a little bit faster than the slowest guy to avoid getting caught

5-= if you trip the guy in front of you, you don't have to worry so much about number 4

6-= i dont run usually, im saving my energy for when there's a fire or firesale
