toyota racing development and golf

i know what any winnings will go toward now! am currently in oz and saw a tv ad for toyota racing development or trd on the box. now i've worked in the motors industry before for another japanese firm and have never heard of trd. i did a little diggin and turns out its an oz exclusive arm of toyota producing high performance models based on learnings from their formula 1 and other racing teams.

now as a bit of a motors fan, and not that 6 litre v8 shise from the states but of tight, tuned high performance engines, i just had to check this car out. and you know what i think i've fallen in love with it! i'm thinking of moving to oz in the next 12 months and after a house this will be my 2nd purchase for sure.

sexy thing isn't it!

on the golfing front. well i'm not quite as good as i thought! shot a +46 first round, then +37 so was about $150 down. but played today and hit a respectable +27 vs my 36 handicap. my buddy played well below par as well hitting a +19 on his 14 handicap so i recouped most of my loses and am about break even. don't know if i'll get to play anymore while i'm here as am catching up with a few friends, hitting the beach and will also wander into the the casino here in sydney called star city. probably won't play any poker but might try my luck at some other table games. will let you know how that fairs!
