yah, too bad i didnt have the stud-replacement type you were looking to get. :) ive not bought those types in a long time...

haha Ken, same here.. Every time i get a new toy, my SC fund seems to get smaller : (

Drove the Z to work today, needs to get a wash before i take some pictures of her with the new cam.

Here are some quick shots from the new NEX-5 for reference! Overall im satisfied with the iAuto mode. However, according to DPreview ill need to spend some time messing with settings to get DSLR quality from it.

Nitex nice pics! Are those all your cars?!?!? lol

so for the camera, which is that again? And you just took them in auto mode, with no editing? Those are nice!

Ken,

From what i know the 3 tuning fork has been used since the beginning of Yamaha motorcycles to unify the brand logo :tup: Current logo was implemented in 1998!


In 1898, one year after the establishment of Nippon Gakki Co., Ltd., forerunner to today's Yamaha Corporation, the company decided to use a tuning fork as its corporate mark, with "a design featuring a hoo (Chinese phoenix) holding a tuning fork in its mouth" as the trademark. Since then, after undergoing a variety of changes that paralleled the growth of the company, the tuning fork mark was finally unified in 1967.

Thanks! Not all my cars, thats my friends Audi shop were i plan on doing the Zs FI install! Yes, all pictures were taken in auto mode, camera is a Sony NEX 5 : )

huh, thanks for the history! :tup: i should know as my brother use to work for yamaha HQ over a decade ago as an engineer... :ugh2: ...and i was just over there in hamamatsu last month. :wtf2:

wooot, the fruit just arrived. :p

Decided on the RE-11's based on other members' preference for them.
I loved the Dunlop Star Spec tyres when I had them on my MS3, but the only go as large as 18".

starspecs are also only directional pattern right? not asymetric with reinforcement belts on the inner treads. those dont work that well on our cars even if they offered our size.

Haha Ken i just noticed thats a $5,000 digital piano! Nice man:icon17:

:tup: yep. thanks. :D it's got a real nice sound and character. :p

Don't laugh -- here is a dog shot:
