Santa1503559644 Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 NASA is planning to break Santa's longstanding speed record for powered flight. Using an Atlas V (supposedly in the 551 configuration), they are hoping to get their vehicle (carrying the New Horizons probe) up to 58,400 km/h whilst under power. This would just beat Santa's standing record. Santa bids them the best of luck, and reserves the right to further competition.

I dont know about spped records but at today's auction at Ross' WA Salvage, I saw a V8 Marloo Holden Ute with the brightest fire engine red I have ever seen and two massive chrome tailpipes and a black leather interior and the personalised plates? "BAAD SANTA" It has to be our boy santa as it was the evil and meanest looking car I have ever seen.
Santa1503559644 Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 Hi Santa, Mike informs me, that if you got a beard trim you would surely reassert your dominance in the speed war. Give it a shot. Your an old man now, you've got nothing to lose. "Old man" ... me?!?! The beard's not that bad ATM, FYI! I dont know about spped records but at today's auction at Ross' WA Salvage, I saw a V8 Marloo Holden Ute with the brightest fire engine red I have ever seen and two massive chrome tailpipes and a black leather interior and the personalised plates? "BAAD SANTA" It has to be our boy santa as it was the evil and meanest looking car I have ever seen. Ahem.... well, um.... <cough> ... ahem, yes .... Wont rule out whether it belongs to one of my "little helpers" :ph34r: (OK, OK ... maybe this Santa does own a Holden Ute ... but is it that one?!? :ph34r: )

Santa1503559644 Posted January 18, 2006 Author Posted January 18, 2006 WTF... Santa drives a Holden!!! Santa does prefer Fords in general, but does have a certain Holden Ute as well! {For crying out loud ... he's got a bloody Landcruiser too, so he had to make a Toyota exception to his rule as well!} NB: Back on the topic ( ) ... I wonder who was clowning about in his sleigh in the upper levels enough to prevent launch?
Bat21 Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 marloo or maloo?? or in the loo? Well here in Perth, we have a suburb called Innaloo and I am sure I have seen Santa there on many ocassions
Santa1503559644 Posted January 20, 2006 Author Posted January 20, 2006 Its official. My record's gone... Oh well ... looks like the old RATO-SLED is due for an upgrade! NB: Whilst I try to avoid getting stuck Innaloo (not really a Northern Suburbs kinda guy!) I sometimes have to compromise!
