Insadong Korean BBQ in Eastwood.
I love their new window display! Reminds me of traveling Japan.
Bim bim bap is where it’s at.
I’m a huge Korean BBQ fan. Have never had bad Korean BBQ, ever! This is a little Korean BBQ in Eastwood, it’s always super quiet but the food’s greeeeaaaat!!!!
Just a subtle alternative to the round logo symbol stickers we sell. Available in the VWG shop soon.
R32 GT-R x 2 + Renault Clio Sport.
Caught up with a couple of car buddies last night. Chris, once an enemy, now a mate (way better way around than once a mate, now an enemy!) who also has an R32 GT-R, and Stewart who currently drives a new Renault Clio Sport.
I took the GT-R out. Quiet streets and cold air = so much win. I love this car. Every time I drive it I realise this.
Chris let me drive his R32 too. It’s nowhere near as clean as my car, but it was an awesome experience to drive another R32 (also tuned by Hitman in Penrith). Completely different to mine in engine tone, exhaust note, yet the same. Felt a little more responsive down low which makes me miss my old tune. He had a twin plate clutch which I didn’t like (I’m so glad I got rid of mine!) and a funky diff which was new to me. His steering wheel felt great and seats were comfy (I think they were R34 GT-R seats) in comparison to my bucket seats.
On topic. Stewart just came back from what looked to be an epic driving trip to Tasmania. He sent me a link to photos from his trip. Well worth the look. Click here for the photos, prepare to be gobsmacked.

Suga’s Giant + Paino.
Sun is out, bit windy, and chilly but a mid week ride at Centennial Park is always nice (even if there were a couple of tosser Sydney drivers going twice the designated speed limit in there).
Yup.
I’ve avoided it for so long but twittering INfront news posts for the past few months, coupled with agreeing to twitter for Cycling Express has worn down my force field and I’ve given in and created a twitter account.
I was pissed off straight off the bat that I couldn’t get my own name as a user name (damn you Justin Foxes!) but I’ve settled for justinfoxAU and I’ve managed to hook it into this WordPress blog too.
Whether I’ll actually use it to burn my life away and/or read what the people I’m following are saying only time will tell. Visit: http://twitter.com/#!/justinfoxAU
Tony’s Albert Namatjira inspired Australian aquarium landscape is coming along nicely. Maybe too many plants, and maybe the plants are all bunched up too close together, but if he’s happy I’m happy! :)

Ticker sticker gizmo was used for the exercise book cover title.
1987, check the typography! Maybe I was always meant to be a graphic designer?!
My hand writing has gotten a lot worse over the years. Strange.
My family has ties with Honda so I was always a Honda Fan Boy.
Loved this car, so much, the colours, everything.
Adelaide race.
Scary reflection of the conspiracies Senna was dragged through in the film. He came 2nd in Adelaide, but I wrote this extra little bit down the bottom, looks like he was ripped, again.
After watching Senna I remembered I had a little book I made when I was 12 years old. I found it this morning and took a few pics of it :)
State Theatre – such an amazing building.
So much detail, they sure don’t build things like this anymore.
Part of the Sydney Film Festival.
Yesterday my mate Ben treated me to a screening of the Senna, a documentary on Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna, who won the F1 world championship three times before his death at age 34.
Apart from playing the Senna F1 game on my Commodore 64 every single day as a kid (I finished it!) I was never a huge Senna fan. I was more a fan of the winning Honda cars of Mansell and Piquet. I was 12 back then, and soon after I got into skateboarding, cycling, girls and I forgot about cars for a bit. When I did get back into cars Schumacher was my hero.
Over the years I’ve read a lot of debate about Senna vs. Schumacher. Senna fans are always quick to make him out to be the ultimate sportsman. All these snippets I’ve read and heard about the man made me think that he was some kind of saint, but after watching the film I’ve realised he was far from it. Not at all disappointing, he’s human after all.
Awesome film, really enjoyed it. There was so much footage of his face, up close, all of it was amazing as the man was so transparent with his emotions. Love the guy and I’m sad he died the way he did. I’m in awe of his achievements in the short 34 years he lived for, make me feel like I need to do much much more. I’m crazy inspired.
