JDM yard EG Civic – Photo by Mark Pakula.

Yonas and Zi took the EG Civic out to play last weekend. Apparently it was a shitty day (4 seasons in one day Zi described it and apparently everyone’s now got the flu) but they managed to top the times list killing so many amazingly powerful cars (CLK, M3, GT-R, EVO’s, Lexus IS-F, you name it).

For the uninitiated, this car is a naturally aspirated front wheel drive Honda Civic up against turbo, twin turbo, rear wheel drive and 4WD cars.

Zi’s not going to go around posting the times up as he knows there’s a few more seconds to be had but I had to kick him in the ass and let him know how impressed I am. Fact is that he’s at the very top of the list. IE: He came first on the day, not to mention it’s not all about a time when conditions of that day come into play.

Check the times and list of cars and drivers here.

Last weekend my sister and Richie invited Christina’s family (the Lock’s) over to her place for dinner. Richie and Jamie have been over to the Lock’s place for dinner twice now and she wanted to return the favour.

She cooked up a storm, basically, she killed it! Best home cooked dinner I’ve had in ages. So hearty, so impressed. I’m entering her into Master Chef next year whether she likes it or not!

Jasper – cat in a bag.

Naughty boy!

Entree – Potato Gnochi with Prawns.

Main – Ossobuco!

Toasties!

Dessert – Chocolate Pavlova!

Jamie’s signature dish!

Layla went straight for Mr. Lock. She loves the boys.

In Japan the Honda Jazz is called the Honda Fit. Fit because whilst it’s a tiny car it’s deceptively huge on the inside and can fit a shitload of cargo.

This morning I managed to fit a full sized (140×80) office table in the back and the Jazz just ate it up.

Mmmm table. Nom Nom Nom.

In other news, this is a huge pile of trash that has to go to the tip. It’s probably our 5th load!

Last night’s JDMST EOMM was a little different. One JDMST member offered up his family restaurant, Moltofino in Dee Why as the venue with 30% off the bill for JDMST members.

The drive was crap due to bad traffic, and losing our way despite using a GPS, but the food was awesome (I had the shoulder of lamb, one of the best lamb shanks I’ve ever eaten!).
