F1 Memories

Posted on 20 June, 2011 by Justin Fox


Ticker sticker gizmo was used for the exercise book cover title.


1987, check the typography! Maybe I was always meant to be a graphic designer?!


My hand writing has gotten a lot worse over the years. Strange.


My family has ties with Honda so I was always a Honda Fan Boy.


Loved this car, so much, the colours, everything.


Adelaide race.


Scary reflection of the conspiracies Senna was dragged through in the film. He came 2nd in Adelaide, but I wrote this extra little bit down the bottom, looks like he was ripped, again.

After watching Senna I remembered I had a little book I made when I was 12 years old. I found it this morning and took a few pics of it :)

Senna!

Posted on 19 June, 2011 by Justin Fox


State Theatre – such an amazing building.


So much detail, they sure don’t build things like this anymore.


Part of the Sydney Film Festival.

Yesterday my mate Ben treated me to a screening of the Senna, a documentary on Brazilian Formula One racing driver Ayrton Senna, who won the F1 world championship three times before his death at age 34.

Apart from playing the Senna F1 game on my Commodore 64 every single day as a kid (I finished it!) I was never a huge Senna fan. I was more a fan of the winning Honda cars of Mansell and Piquet. I was 12 back then, and soon after I got into skateboarding, cycling, girls and I forgot about cars for a bit. When I did get back into cars Schumacher was my hero.

Over the years I’ve read a lot of debate about Senna vs. Schumacher. Senna fans are always quick to make him out to be the ultimate sportsman. All these snippets I’ve read and heard about the man made me think that he was some kind of saint, but after watching the film I’ve realised he was far from it. Not at all disappointing, he’s human after all.

Awesome film, really enjoyed it. There was so much footage of his face, up close, all of it was amazing as the man was so transparent with his emotions. Love the guy and I’m sad he died the way he did. I’m in awe of his achievements in the short 34 years he lived for, make me feel like I need to do much much more. I’m crazy inspired.

House Auction

Posted on 19 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

My sister’s about to pop a baby out any month now, she’s been wanting to move house for ages, but hasn’t had much luck finding the right place, and when she has found the right place it’s always gone for too much.

Last Saturday there was a house auction that she couldn’t get to as she had an important baby class she had to attend. Mum was going to bid for her so I thought I’d drop in and give Mum a little support. To cut a long story short (you had to be there!) she won the house, without having to go over the limit too.

Looks like my sister will be living within a stone throw from my place!

Coastal Walk

Posted on 17 June, 2011 by Justin Fox


Walking for about 1km over these rocks at Lurline Bay at high tide made for some exciting moments.


Hun buns.


The path gets really swanky at Coogee, very nice planning.


This big rope mountain climby thing was still there, albeit less red than it used to be when I was in uni. Couldn’t help but climb to the top for old times sake.


We’ll have one of everything please.


The mains – very nice, entree’s were awesome too.


When we got home from our walk we spotted Mia Mau Mau in the window :)

I’ve not seen my bunny in a couple of days (been missing her!), we planned to hook up today as she’s got Friday’s off. Sun was out and she’s been itching to do some exercise so we made the most of the nice weather and decided to do the coastal walk from Maroubra Beach through to Coogee Beach.

We’ve tried it once before, it goes a bit funny after all the rock work, and the path forces you back onto the street, but this time we forged on and re-found the right track.

The walk was awesome, beautiful views along the way, really nice houses too (especially the concrete castle near Coogee!). We unfortunately undid all the hard work with a fancy lunch special at Ceviche. Entree, main and a glass of wine for $28, so much win!

Catchup with Stevey

Posted on 17 June, 2011 by Justin Fox

Here’s a guy I used to have breakfast with every morning, when he had a mobile job fixing servers. He’s been owned now for some time though, and I very rarely get to hang out anymore so Stevey and I hooked up for dinner last night.

Plan was to smash a Chicken Jaeger at Una’s but in the end we decided to drop in to Kelly’s in Bondi for ribs (I always think I’m going to run into friends Alan and Carmen when I go to Bondi! hehe). Kelly’s were on fire, ribs were crazy juicy and we were served by Christina’s favorite waiter, Orlando Bloom, who’s cut his hair, and is now wearing glasses so he doesn’t quite look like Orlando Bloom anymore, but it’s still service with a smile! The guy is a champ!

I failed to finish a small serving (so much meat on the bone!) and Stevey failed to finish a regular. He’s a hurricanes man, but I think he enjoyed the ribs at Kelly’s. I bet any money he’ll call me up in a month or so with a craving for ribs at Kelly’s.

Check the space

Posted on 17 June, 2011 by Justin Fox


Carpark outside is off the main road, quite private and can fit 100 cars or so.


The front of the warehouse, gotta love that old skool brick!


Looking in, what a blank canvas. There’s a garage door at the back too (2 street frontage).


Looking back to the front.


Upstairs office space.

So yesterday I hooked up with the g2s guys to check out “the space”. I’m in love, really. Retail space, office space, community space, gallery space… I’m in, let’s do this!
