Map of Springfield

Right HERE.
It's pretty huge in it's native form so beware.
I'm not entirely sure why it exists, or how. But there you go.

Tenerife

Just been to that particular Canary Island and had a great time.. pics down on the right (or HERE).
It's lovely to get away - get some sun and not worry about anything - the complete opposite from this bloody country. Like the UK? You're in the minority nowadays.

Offical pics of the new "Judge" - Commentary not needed ;)

Tax your car ONLINE!!

Yeah.. the DVLA just found the internet!

Check it HERE.

If you're not from the UK then this won't mean much to you - but it certainly beats finding a post office and queueing.

Magical Trevor

He's magic.

Ever wondered what the world is searching for?

Well now you can see exactly that, right HERE.
Thats right.
You'll not be surprised.

Post in a forum?

Then you need to see THIS.

Hehe.

A guide to modding..

I won't take anything away from this guy's enthusiasm and, actually, a very good site. Just a shame that some of his choices should include those seat covers...

Check out the Renault Clio and see for yourself.

A bit of research...

Page 634784, Section 5a, Entry: Magrathea
Far back in the mists of ancient time, in the great and glorious days of the former Galactic Empire, life was wild, rich and largely tax free.

Mighty starships plied their way between exotic suns, seeking adventure and reward amongst the furthest reaches of Galactic space. In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri. And all dared to brave unknown terrors, to do mighty deeds, to boldly split infinitives that no man had split before - and thus was the Empire forged.

Many men of course became extremely rich, but this was perfectly natural and nothing to be ashamed of because no one was really poor - at least no one worth speaking of. And for all the richest and most successful merchants life inevitably became rather dull and niggly, and they began to imagine that this was therefore the fault of the worlds they'd settled on - none of them was entirely satisfactory: either the climate wasn't quite right in the later part of the afternoon, or the day was half an hour too long, or the sea was exactly the wrong shade of pink.

And thus were created the conditions for a staggering new form of specialist industry: custom-made luxury planet building. The home of this industry was the planet Magrathea, where hyperspatial engineers sucked matter through white holes in space to form it into dream planets - gold planets, platinum planets, soft rubber planets with lots of earthquakes - all lovingly made to meet the exacting standards that the Galaxy's richest men naturally came to expect.

But so successful was this venture that Magrathea itself soon became the richest planet of all time and the rest of the Galaxy was reduced to abject poverty. And so the system broke down, the Empire collapsed, and a long sullen silence settled over a billion worlds, disturbed only by the pen scratchings of scholars as they laboured into the night over smug little treaties on the value of a planned political economy.

Magrathea itself disappeared and its memory soon passed into the obscurity of legend.

In these enlightened days of course, no one believes a word of it.

If you're easily offended...

...then I would seriously consider not watching this. Just about stupid enough to be funny.

Astra GTC

Unveiled next week, the new Astra GTC should go on sale early next year here in the UK.

Taking the place of both the hatch and the coupe it should be interesting the see the complete model line up.

A VXR is planned with "an extreme body kit and a 2.0 engine with in excess of 230bhp". Should be good... unless it's FWD only.

The Monaro Coupe 4

Get over to http://www.hsv.com.au/" and check out the 4x4 version of the Monaro.
Now.
Thank you.

Last night I saw...

I-Robot
Ah Mr Smith delivers again!
Based very loosely on the Isaac Asimov short stories of the same name, we find ourselves in 2035 in Chicago.
Things have moved along quite a bit. Cars park themselves, drive themselves and phones are just tiny.
Will is Del Spooner, a homicide detective with a troubled past. His main issue that he simply doesn't trust the robots that everyone uses on a daily basis. They walk our dogs, buy our groceries and even clean the house (sounds good eh?). No robot has hurt a human. No robot has ever commited a crime... until now.
The lead designer of said robots is found dead at his own company on th eve of a new robotic launch. Suicide is suspected but Spooner has his own ideas..

I loved every minute of this. Not only is Will Smith casted perfectly here but it's not the usual comedy (Bad Boys) as you would expect.
Lots of action and a tight storyline that works excellently (and not quite how the trailers would have you believe) make this one of my favourite movies of the moment (up there with Spider-man 2!).
Go. Now.

Last week I saw...

The Chronicles of Riddick.
And I am happy to recommend it to the big-wide-world. Set 5 years after the first film (and not before as I was led to believe), we catch up with our renagade hero Riddick just trying to live the easy life on an inhospitable ice planet. No sooner to be meet him but he's already being chased by mercenaries. Hmm.
The ins and outs aren't explained right away as I would expect them to be; the surviving characters of the first film all have their part - although not hugely - and there is plenty of action.The main story line is nothing really to do with our hero but as you can probably imagine, he gets caught up in it anyway.
Basically..
A force of men are travelling throughout the galaxy spreading the word of their own religion (if you will). Whether a planet cares or not, it's quickly subdued, assimilated and then destroyed. Pretty weird but also pretty cool.
Riddick only gets caught up because he happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time (duh).
I won't say any more but the story goes all over the place before ending up in exactly the place you would expect it not to be. Watch it. Have fun ;)
