Yes! (to both questions) :)

I love the sign! you should make a t-shirt out of it, bright red with that text and logo on the back :)

That reminds me of a gateway I made for a domain that i bought recently. Eventually, I expect it'll be a complete website and not just a splashpage someday when time permits me.
KillYourCar.org (http://www.killyourcar.org/)

I second the idea of makeing a t-shirt out of your design. The red white and black would look awesome.

The picture you are seeing is a little paper (9 cm x 14,5 cm) that you can found in argentine airports. The airports made it to advert the gringos and "hingos" too, that take care about the transport services. In the back of the advert you can read:

"For your own safety do not contract services offered verbally. Go to the booths in the airport"

I like cars. And sometimes peoples in cars treat me best than others in bikes.-

It is a very good idea Mr. Gardner and Mr/rs Cat.

Hingo: neologism made by Mr Allister. It denote gringo with grow problems.

I don't know what the situation is in Argentina, but where I live,
the traffic is so heavy that sometimes it's best to stay indoors because of smog.

Cars aren't bad. But when you get so many of them that they begin to harm people, yes, they are very, very bad.

Does that make me a neologist? That'd be something to put on my business card eh?

Mr. LittleBigMan: Here in the big towns like Buenos Aires you can found a lot of car drivers who put the aim in the bikers that's true, but they are not all the drivers. And the smog here is not made only by the cars.-
Well, we must remember you live in a big country full of cars and industries, and i live here full of air (nathing) (jajajajaja).-

Yes Mr. Allister you are a neologist, but i don't know if you will receive money or found a work for it.-
¿Australia home of nothing of interest...? Come on... I admire the bigest AC/DC rock'n roll group. I saw Angus and the group few year ago. I have records of them.-

Bugger! I've been thinking about a career change, too.

Dunno about the rest of Australia, but I was only referring to Wynnum, Australia, and that definitely has nothing of interest to the tourist, although we do have an overabundance of fish and chip shops.

I'm sorry, I thought that "Wynnum" was a whriter, a magazine or something like that.

Well... Is time to make a rock'n roll group: "The Wynnums".









The day I learn from my mistakes, that day I will not be me.-

There is a (very good as it happens) group called 'The Whitlams'. Is that close enough?

They're named after a former Prime Minister, of all things. They play bits of their live gig on www.thebasement.com.au (24h streaming video radio from Sydney) occasionally.

Hmmm. We drifted from the topic a bit. Are cars that bad? Here's my standard response to that question:

Cars are overpowered, oversized, overused, and overrated. Apart from that, they're alright.

Am I the only one who is worried that Allister's post count is now "666"?

You only have to worry if it's tattooed on my forehead.

I saw the page www... Is very interesting. I will visit it in the future.-

But the devil is very clever and he never put the tattoo in the same point.-

We drifted from the topic, but this is more intresting.-
