Yeah if only William.... I trashed a HQ 2 Door Coupe years ago bill and it was in top shape too, what a Dick head and that was around 86 it was fun though
William. To "work out" the UT(C) or GMT times, just add 10 hours to get AEST, Aust East Std Time.Originally Posted by William
Here is a site that is shows current to UTC or GMT. I use it to set my camera times to exact AEST.

(Note that in London now they are 1 hour ahead of GMT as they have daylight saving.)

CC, Image editing OK.

It's worth having a look now if your interested in something that wont happen for another 105yrs : http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap120605.html
Very nice, as is that shot by axle01.
I am beavering away between scudding clouds, as in:
"I love a rain-soaked Sydney,
A land of scudding clouds,
Of sudden heavy downpours,
Of wind and constant..."
Well, that sort of thing.
Tell ya what though: I'm really liking this Baader film as a filter.
For now,
