for the 2 russians...

this will catch the interest of Arsenii and Yuri the most...

i have footage of the 'Trans Siberia Rally 2008 - Moscow to Mongolia' - you guys might recognize some of the locations as your previous back yard or perhaps the fields in which you hid from the KGB...

and yes Yuri, it is going on your hard drive.

::update::

Nikola Tesla was not russian. he was born in Croatia. doh.

ah well. my mistake.

btw - screw that bastard Edison. not only was he ignorant in the ways of math and electrical theory, he was also a real effing jerk. to 'show the evils of AC' he had an elephant electrocuted... and, directly because of his actions, the electrical chair came into existence and why his people first tried to use it, botched the job HORRIBLY. they didnt kill the man at all - they only injured him horribly. so, they had to TRY AGAIN...

btw - Edison's reason for pushing DC over AC was due to the fact that he faced the possibility of losing money. too bad for him, because Tesla had come up with the idea of AC while he working for Edison. ahh... pride will get you nowhere. the good thing is that, in the end, Tesla won and was right.

as always I never notice any of the good threads, especially ones mentioning me...And how many cars did each team go through in this rally? Because i guarantee you in Moscow alone they probably got jacked half a dozen times. Joel, your awesome.

Damn...Is that all going on my drive? If it is, you might not see me for the next couple months as all free time going to be spent watching it.
