Such an incredible car with immense raw power. We shot down the side roads near Albany at over 140kph overtaking Holdens and family wagons with a deafening roar as we went. The supercharger kicks the straight 8 engine to the next level and powers through the range.</p> <p>If you want your life changed then you HAVE to get your ass in one of these bad boys. They are a rarity that cannot be surpassed for the pure enjoyment of driving, but starting at around $1.3 million for a replica and originals selling for $7 million + they are a little out of my price range right now. One day… one day.</p>http://blog.conradsmith.com/post/23274563228http://blog.conradsmith.com/post/23274563228Fri, 18 May 2012 16:06:47 +1200alfa romeodrivingamazeballs<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m43zjnqNMw1qzg94do1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Download the latest mix-tape from the <a href="http://www.skullbikeclub.com/news/" target="_blank">Skull Bike Club</a> boys. 2Hrs of steel drum, japanese grind, boogaloo, surf, kids records, deth metal dogs, soundtracks, synth, psyche, stoner, rock, and pop.</p>http://blog.conradsmith.com/post/23158082396http://blog.conradsmith.com/post/23158082396Wed, 16 May 2012 21:26:00 +1200<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3r1gddX0F1qzg94do1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3r1gddX0F1qzg94do2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Hand crafted knives by Icelander <a href="http://www.knifemaker.is/" target="_blank">Palli Kristjánsson</a>.

These are amazing! By using systems similar to natural ponds the water is filtered through water plants and an aggregate filled sump. The water is drawn through the system with a pump and creates a clean, chemical free pool that doubles as a garden.</p>http://blog.conradsmith.com/post/21064302640http://blog.conradsmith.com/post/21064302640Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:36:00 +1200bio-filteredpoolpondlandscape designnaturalchemical free<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/37848135?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=ffffff" width="400" height="224" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>SOLIPSIST</p> <p>Directed by Andrew Thomas Huang<br/><a href="http://www.andrewthomashuang.com/" target="_blank">andrewthomashuang.com</a></p>http://blog.conradsmith.com/post/19918220056http://blog.conradsmith.com/post/19918220056Mon, 26 Mar 2012 11:12:57 +1300videoexperementalmotion graphics<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0w1msGAhD1qzg94do1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Callum, Rob, Justin and the team recently WON the Lipton Cup in a Mullet Boat battle to see who’s boss.
