If anyone has suffered any bone breaks / injuries that required surgery with screws and a metal plate, AND happens to have a pic of the X-ray. post it here. (Let's hope i'm not the only twisted person here)
Here's mine:
What Happened: On Oct 8th, I was working on my house (building a Home Theater) and I was coming down from the latter. It's aluminum and the leg literally buckled underneath me. Causing me to fall right onto the broken ladder, breaking my ankle in 2 places. After surgery, that picture is the result. I have 6 screws and a metal plate in my right ankle. (naturally I cannot drive :( ) Currently, it's almost been 4 weeks, and my leg is in an Aircast.
The year was 1996.. I was 12 years old.. and i saw a concept prototype of a car that I fell in love with...
Flash forward to 1999/2000.. I learned that they actually started producing these vehicles and made it my mission that one day, i'm actually going to own one of these cars and the daydreams began..
Flash forward to 2007. while browsing autotrader as i always have to find my "unicorn".. i saw a picture of a VIN sticker for one of the cars and with that i have made an amazing discovery.. My dream car was assembled in my home country (Hungary). Fate? Perhaps.
Well since then i've had good jobs, and numerous chances to actually own one of these cars but yet somehow it never ended up working out.. Well I think I finally captured my "unicorn".
Tomorrow I will be picking a 2000 Audi TT Quattro.
And while no, It's not a fox.. the people who know me really well on this board have known how badly I've sought after this car.
Here is the concept picture vehicle that i've fallen in love with:
I went and dun it.. I went and bought a house. Here are some pictures that were just taken.
2 story, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms, open concept kitchen/dining room/living room. It has a sun room, or "solarium" behind the house, which i'm thinking of making into either 1) a home gym, or 2) another workshop. 60x192 lot which backs onto a Park. The garage I measured to be about 24x32.
This is going to become my newest project. I'm going to try to do it most of the stuff myself and when i get stuck i'll be blessed with the help of someone who really knows what he's doing.
Anyways, here are some pictures:
and here is the last pic, with me standing beside the garage to show some proportion
Alright well I have contemplated this a lot, whether or not I should sell these. But i decided to do so.
Up for sale are the following:
1 Complete set of an 8 piece Kamei Ground Effects kit. It is Plastic and this kit has never been painted. The double sided tape is still even attached to the backside (Although I'd recommend replacing it). It even comes with Kamei emblems and a video (I've never looked at the tape so I don't know what it is, I assume it's some sort of instructional video).
This kit is like the one 83 Heritage has on his.
$1000 or best offer.
I'm not sure whether or not these prices are reasonable but we'll see soon enough.
My location is Welland (Niagara Falls area), Ontario, Canada
Postal code: L3B 4T7
I'd love to have someone pick them up or willing to drive a little bit to meet up with someone. Or as a last resort I can see into getting them shipped.
I noticed that the tires on my Mitsubishi eclipse were pretty bald. And I had a pair of stang wheels laying around waiting for a 5-lug swap, so i figured, what the hell, I'll try them to see if they work. Here's the result (and yes, the car's very dirty):
So after weeks of trying bad weekends we finally had a good day here Yesterday and I went for my Second Tandem Skydive. This was more amazing then the first as I was more aware of what was going around me here are some pictures:
(possible outcome)
(I'm the one with the hat)
(no explanation needed)
(The height we jumped from, 13,500 feet)
Below are videos taken by my buddy Eugene (was his first jump), who strapped a helmet cam to his leg (only place they allowed it where it wouldn't interfere with the instructor):
last bit of Eugene's descend and landing. the guys running towards us at the end are ground crew that collapse the chute so we don't get dragged away by the wind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgMzGPcgjK4
Unfortunatly due to the weather they are now closing for the season but next summer I will complete my training and become a licensed skydiver!
