  1. Best wishes and get well soon Roman!
  2. LOVE these cars. It's so damn quiet even at 130+ MPH. The ultimate DD (for the price). So impressive!
  3. Gotta agree with Placid. Driven one and been a passenger in several. It's freaking AMAZING. It's so insanely responsive, quick and quiet. Touch the throttle and you are gone - 0 lag. You can't get that responsiveness even with huge V8s. Loved how it drove. I for one love the interior. It's simple and clean with an awesome touch screen that you can all sorts of things with and all the small details, like showing you how your car looks on the outside with your current lighting setting. When your turn signal is on, it will blink on the little car as well. I gotta agree that ICE engines (while they are more "fun": engine/turbo sounds) feels very, very dated after experiencing the Tesla. It's the first and only E-car that works like a real car. All other shit like the E-golf, Zero have too little capacity and slow charging, so IMHO they are gimmicks. Tesla solved all that. I had a guest from Switzerland with one (yeah, he drove it from Switzerland to Norway) and also a guest from Germany (he did the same). No problem at all they said. You want to take a break anyways when driving for hours on end.
  4. Awesome!!! Love their channels. Can't wait for that video. Hopefully a run against TRC Supra.. not that it will be an even race, but both are epic machines!
  5. Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I just got some acoustic doors installed in my apartment - 40dB for all the bedrooms. These doors are HEAVY (110 pounds) and have double rubber gaskets. If you haven't looked into this, definitely do. I can basically have a party in one bedroom and not hear any noise in the other bedroom that's 10 yard away. It's freaking epic! Also consider hiring a company that does acoustic work. Small things will make a huge difference in regards to how sound is blocked/absorbed. http://www.soundproofingcompany.com/soundp...proofing-walls/ Lots of good articles about soundproofing and what needs to be done to achieve the desired results.

    Scuba Diving

    Never done underwater photography, but I do regular. Considering it's dark down there, I would invest in a newer full frame camera for good low light performance, a good lens (aperture of 1,4), and of course a speed light or 2
  7. 93.5-98 MKIV Supra Turbo. 993 Porsche TT. They were too expensive for me back then, and when I could afford them (well the Supra at least), the money was used for other things. Norway is probably one of the worst country in the world to own a car. Expensive cars, horrible roads, low speed limits, huge ticket costs, easy to loose your licence. Not possible to do mods to your car without a ton of paper work etc. Not worth it. Far too restrictive and expensive. Far better to rent lambos (and other fun cars in the US) for the "money saved".
  8. Only good thing about that game was winning a bit of money, the win payed for the beer and food at least.. damn.. what a shitty game. It was not worth going to bed at 5AM for this! Luckily last weeks game (patriots vs broncos) was a very good game!
  9. AMAZING. I hope we get to see the whole video from the rocket POV, that would be epic.
  10. Sorry to hear Erik. May he RIP.
  11. It depends on a lot of different things. The Internet is like a HUGE LAN (local area network). You might get great speeds from one site but crap speeds from another site. In Norway all the ISPs are connected to NIX (http://www.uio.no/tjenester/it/nett/fastnett/nix/info-english-short.html). That means you should get full speeds from all the major Norwegian internet sites and also to/from other regular users - If I send a file from my computer to a friend on another ISP that also has the same speed, it should max out the connection. Big sites (like Google/Netflix) usually have their own server in the ISPs facility for local cache, so Netflix/Google will also be really fast (as it's hosted like a LAN). The smaller sites don't have the $$ for local servers at the different ISPs, so then it uses regular routing: from a to b. It will take a long path where there are/can be bottlenecks. These bottlenecks depend on a lot of different things and the agreements that the ISPs have with companies that route international traffic. A Swedish ISP (fiber - BBB, 10-15 years ago at least) had awesome domestic speeds, but their international speeds were horrible (like 10% of their domestic speed). Same with Korea etc. While people in the Netherlands/Norway had great international routing. So there are a lot of things that matter but the consumer is more or less "in the dark" about a lot of this. The longer the route, the more chances there are for your speeds to get reduced. Your speed will only be as fast as the weakest link in the whole route from A-B.
