Nichelle was only just over here at the gold coast comic-con 6 weeks or so ago, with Gearge Takei and Walter Kroenegg. QUOTE 'Star Trek' Star Nichelle Nichols Hospitalized
Nichelle Nichols, best known as Lieutenant Uhura in "Star Trek," was rushed to the hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, according to TMZ. The 82-year-old actress suffered a mild stroke, according to the TMZ report. Her rep has confirmed to The Huffington Post that she is now resting comfortably and undergoing tests. However, Nichols' diagnosis and prognosis are currently unknown. Nichols appeared in the original "Star Trek" TV series and reprised her role in six "Star Trek" films. She has also voiced characters in the "Gargoyles" and "Spider-Man" TV shows and played Nana Dawson in "Heroes." |

Apparently it was a well known car in the area,in its time for just that reason.When he bought it,it still had the Rotary in it,but the interior had been stripped,and a few other things had been ratted from it,but it was still a solid car.I think it was because he wasn't au fait with rotary engines that things didn't move that quickly with it,so as it was occupying one of my garage spaces downstairs,after about eighteen months,I started to dig my heels in.He advertised it,and a bloke from Sydney drove up with a car trailer and grabbed it.I showed him those couple of pics you posted a while back of that Beetle with the rotary in it,and said "could've been you",but I think he's more than happy with his Subaru conversion,and seems to be turning into a bit of a Guru on a few of the forums these days |

Tell me about it,down in the garage area,as well as three vehicles,I have three engines.Then when you go up to the next level through the laundry it's like walking into Beaurepairs,with the rims and tyres,plus he has one room under the house full of assorted shit QUOTE (alpharx7 @ Jun 6 2015, 02:38 PM) i tried finding out the info on the qld transport website but it doesn't say anything.......the question - when changing to club rego, if you have a personal plate / reissued plate, do you have to change to a 'club' plate style on your car? does anyone know? Yep,pretty sure you do,that's how they keep track of you.The plates here in NSW have a H on them (for Historic),and I saw a H plate in the Shitbox thread but it's a Victorian plate  |

Lol. I think that I'm just going to have to ring QLD transport and ask them. I've got a year to figure it out - I'm going to pay for full rego this year on the rx7, but come next year stuff'em. thanks Shuff's |

QUOTE Registered operators with previously issued ‘square’ motor vehicle plates as shown above may continue to
use them. However, should these plates be cancelled or in need of replacement, they cannot be reissued. Another option for registered operators of a Special Interest Vehicle is to attach one of the many and varied personalised plate products such as the re-issued black and white plates. The choice is yours. |

QUOTE (Doc @ Jun 7 2015, 12:24 PM) How gym going alpha. ? Both my wrists have been hurting lately so invested in some wrist straps. Makes such a big difference with support when doing chest and shoulders. gym there's, i'm still going 5 days a week. need to tighten up on what i'm eating though. you need to do wrist curls as a part of you workout. sit down on a bench, legs a foot apart, rest your forearms on the top of your legs and do barbell curls. i'm doing 5 sets of 20 @ 25kg. no wrist problems with other exercises. |
