Well I will continue my tradition (second time) of doing a year in review post.

It was a fairly quite one for me really – I think the older I get the less interesting things I do – I really need to change that.

Some of my highlights
DSLR Photography course – through WEA it was a great course, learnt so much about my camera and how to shoot in manual
Port’s 119 point lose in the Grand Final – that was GOLD
My first MotoGP event at Phillip Island
Casey Stoner being MotoGP World Champion
Got to see a Ferrari F430 up close and personal
Winton V8s and a week away in Yarrawonga
Phillip Island V8s – great weekend
Clipsal 500 – 40° gotta love V8s

I am sure there are others but they are just a few highlights – see I really don’t get up to a lot these days. Hopefully 2008 will be a better more interesting year.

Other Notable Events of the Year
Labor winning the federal election
West Coast Eagles drug problem

Notable Deaths – well notable to me at least
Billy Thorpe
Bernie Banton – asbestos campaigner
John Ilhan – My Crazy John
Charmaine Dragun – such a waste of a beautiful life
Norifumi Abe – died riding on the road, shame he was no longer on the track
Kevin Crease
Marcel Marceau
Chris Mainwaring – I hope Ben learns something from that
Colin McRae – a wasted talent should never have stopped rally driving
Boris Yeltsin
Evel Kenivel
Stan Zemanek – obnoxious bastard, but shouldn’t have suffered as he did
The many soldiers and civilians that have lost their lives in war torn countries – particularly Iraq and Afghanistan

Well here is too another year – lets hope it is as interesting as this year. There looks to be a stack of changes ahead for me in the very near future – lets hope they are changes for the good, they have potentially to be changes for the very bad.
Make sure you have one for me
