Hi all,
I find myself at last in a position to relax and make a blog post. It has been about 12 months since I really made any noise. This time last year I was busy arranging the Mazda RX-8 Club of Australia’s Nationals for 2006. Starting a new job coupled with an illness was serious enough to keep me from attending the very event I poured so much effort into!
Anyway, 12 months later, things are much better. I’m sitting here on a nice Cataraman anchored in the Brisbane River relaxing and waiting for the year’s biggest fireworks event, riverfire (http://www.riverfestival.com.au/riverfire/). It should be a great night, the highlight for me being the dump and burn fly past by a pair of RAAF F111’s. These 40 year old aircraft are still exciting enough to raise the hair on the back of my neck. It is a truly awesome experience, as anyone who has experienced it would know. Not sure about the carbon footprint of the dump and burn though!
In a little over 2 weeks I will be heading to the USA to help celebrate 40 years of Mazda’s rotary engine. I’ll be attending the 10th annual SevenStock http://www.sevenstock.org event at Irvine, CA. As part of that event, I’ll be lucky enough to be a guest speaker, so this is something I’m really looking forward to.
I’ve been spending a lot of time, particular since the beginning of July, in further developing my RX-8 Supercharger kit, and I will be showcasing it at SSX It is going to be something special. I won’t be publlishing any photographs prior to my trip, as I have serious IP invested and need to take the appropriate measures to help protect it. One of these is that I must have not published or sold such items prior to lodging the paperwork with IP Australia.
Anyway, time to relax a bit more and enjoy the show in a few hours. Enjoy my pictures!
Cheers,
Hymee
