>I am not convinced about digital's yet, although I would like >to see the quality of Canon EOS1ds shots. When this came up in the debate I did a search for the EOS 1DS, and found canon's web site where they have some example pictures. They have them in raw (something like 34MB), large jpg (about 3.5 to 4.5MB depending on picture), and small jpg (still about 1MB!). there are about 4 examples, and the couple I looked at in large jpg really impressed me. >I always liked the Canon EOS1n SLR - a trully professional camera, >and takes fantastic pictures. Big money though. I paid more than >A$8000 for mine with just one professional quality lens ! You mean Canon make any other sort of lens ??? :)) Yeah, wish I could afford one to go with my 2 canon EOS film cameras. -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

I have a miata too (well, an MX5 anyway, that's what it's called over here) One of the members of the local club had a folding license plate but was booked for it, I had no plate on the front of the car for well over 1 year until I was 'advised' to put it back on at a random breath test. The penalty for having no front plate is $78, the penalty for hiding or obscuring the front plate is $1200! I haven't been booked for speeding in about 7 years (66km/hr in a 60 zone, 3 AM in one of the other states), but a few friends have. One friend of mine had never had a ticket in 30 years, and then got 3 in 1 month. Most of us prefer to get our speed thrills off the road, mostly here : http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au {Original Message removed}

The >penalty >for having no front plate is $78, the penalty for hiding or obscuring the >front plate is $1200! Jeez!! Around here, I haven't heard of anyone being ticketed for having a folder, and very few people (especially with Miatas) ever get ticketed for having a missing plate. I think the penalty's US $50... No biggie. >I haven't been booked for speeding in about 7 years (66km/hr in a 60 zone, >3 >AM in one of the other states), but a few friends have. One friend of mine >had never had a ticket in 30 years, and then got 3 in 1 month. I've managed to avoid tickets of any sort in my three years of driving (a real long time, huh? I'm 18), but I've had a few close ones with the speed cameras. >Most of us >prefer to get our speed thrills off the road, mostly here : >http://www.wakefieldpark.com.au Fun stuff! Is your MX-5 stock, or do you have a turbo, racing suspension, etc.? Mine's totally stock: http://users.frii.com/lmalpais/miata/miata.html I haven't taken it on the track yet, because I don't have the time or the money to install a roll-bar. I have done a couple of AutoX events with it, however. My present tires, however, are a little scary, as they're 5 years old, dry-rotted, and hard as hell. Once I can get some 16" rims and some stickier tires, I'll probably get a little more serious about racing it. I'm thinking of getting some Yoko AVS1000's. They look like a good compromise between street and mild AutoX. TTYL - Robert -- http://www.piclist.com hint: PICList Posts must start with ONE topic: [PIC]:,[SX]:,[AVR]: ->uP ONLY!

Completely stock. I managed to pick up 4 seconds a lap just by learning to drive better, I've pretty much reached the limits of the stock car at the moment so I'm looking at some semi slick racing tyres and adjustable suspension next... We also do a bit of autocross / motorkhana stuff, but the local racing regulatory body mandates that they be extremely tight, low speed events so it can be a little un-fun. The yoko AVS1000's are supposedly very good, I have some A539's at the moment, which are about 1.5 seconds a lap slower than the original equipment tyres (bridgestone turanzas, an excellent tyre when warmed up nicely) Probably shouldn't say much more as it's getting veeery off topic :) {Original Message removed}
