Carthology has been on hiatus for the summer, but returns strongly with a long time personal favourite. I remember seeing this a long time ago on the earlier version of Youtube, i.e a much copied and passed about VHS (Mimitube?). from memory it was a young sister Nic who showed me the goodness that is one of Australias top beardies in full flight.

All I need now is the Nigella version, but that is an entirely different genre.
Enjoy, more irregular updates due soon, or not. Thanks to the Hammonator for the find.

Weekend at Bernies

This photo from F1 enthusiast the Hammonator to me sums up all that is good about motor racing. Just the fact the the autographer, Ronnie Peterson was nicknamed the Super Swede is enough,but if the lucky autographee had any sense, a quick trip to the local tattooist was probably high on her to do list.( But not probably the first thing)


This was a golden era of F1, where the pantsmen ruled. James Hunt, Jacky Ickx, Jochen Rindt were men that racing on Sunday was just one step closer to the spandex birds on Sunday night. A time where Penthouse and Trojan sponsored. You smoked in the pits, raced rental cars to the track and drank pretty much at all times.

Now compare this to current F1:





However, bring on 2008. I'm excited like an Atomic Playboys/Dr Feelgood Wide world of Sports double shot montage.

Is this the stuntbus to the civic centre?

Couldn't let the passing of one of the 20th centuries greatest, Knievel,E. go unnoted. My cousin had the sheer awesomeness that was the stunt bike playset as a young tacker. This toy made Hungry Hungry Hippos feel slow, quiet and sensible in comparison. Revving up the handle bars and firing Evel off to places unknown was almost more fun than you could handle. The supplied flaming ring of death and ramps were quickly disregarded, replaced with epic Snake River canyon style "Breakfast bar leap of faith" and "Garage stairs descent to doom" stunts that no doubt would have had your Princes Leia figures swooning.

The lessons taught by Evel and his ilk were beautifully distilled by Capt Lance Murdoch. Not only did he remind us that for him life was as simple as In action/In traction, but the simple "cut through" message that is : Bones heal, and chicks dig scars is all you need. I'd like to see your Depak Chopra/Anthony Robbins/Oprah/KAK break it down so simply. Vale Evel.

haven't seen action like this outside the playstation domain since turbos and sideburns ruled F1.

So happy right now 2: electric boogaloo

Carthology will return to the big issues shortly (climate change/Iran/is Wheels still in jail?). Our attention (and somewhat patchy sleep patterns) is being directed to the wonder that is the newest edition to the editorial team. A random selection beneath of Carthette goodness for those in need.
