Filed under: Uncategorized —— Brens @ 9:19 pm

It’s a 1001 hp beast and has 12 intercoolers. It’s top speed is 408.47kmp/h average and it does 0-60mph in 2.46 seconds and 0-100mph in 5.5 seconds. :o It’s the Bugatti Veyron and it’s one of the fastest supercars on earth. 8O It does the quarter mile in 10.2 seconds with a top speed of 240kmp/h! 8O If anyone watches the car TV show Top Gear in the post near the bottom you might have seen the episode whe Richard and James are in a plane and they are racing Jeremy when he’s in a Bugatti Veyron.

Car engine!

Filed under: Uncategorized —— Brens @ 8:55 pm

A car engine can vary from size, power, weight and many more things. Many people might have heard of HP which stands for Horse power or BHP which is Brake horse power. HP is the power in the engine and BHP is the power at the brakes. You might have heard of CC power which stands for cubic centimeters. CC stands for how big or how much petrol the engine will hold. For example. A 5.7 litre car would be 5700cc or 250cc would be o.25 litres which wouldn’t even let the car move. In other words 1000cc equals 1litre so 6000cc would equal 6 litres. Hope youv’e learn’t a bit about engines

Land speed records!

Filed under: Uncategorized —— Brens @ 7:34 pm

There have been many records set by wheel driven cars. I’m not sure who set it but the fastest wheel driven car went 658kph! :o Also there many different records set by Jet/rocket thrust powered cars. In 1964 Donald Campbell set the record 648 kph. Soon after in 1964 Tom Green broke that with a speed of 664 kph. In 1964 again Art Afrons set a new record of 698 kph. Also in 1964 Craig Breedlove set 2 new records of 754 kph and 845 khp. Also in 1965 Art Afrons beat Craig with a speed of 927 kph. Soon after in 1965 Craig Breedlove came back with a speed of 966 kph. In 1970 Gary Gabelich was the first person to reach 1000 kph with a speed of 1001 kph. In 1983 Richard Noble set a new record of 1019 kph and finally in 1997 Andy Green  SMASHED the record with a speed of 1227 kph and was the first person ever to break the sound barrier in a car.

A car!

Filed under: Uncategorized —— Brens @ 7:17 pm

Obviously everyone should know a standard car should have 4 wheels. My mum drives a Volkswagen polo. Pretty slow but it does the job and plus it’s only me and my mum and friends that go in the car. My best friend Darcy knows ABSOLUTELY everything there is to know about cars. He knows like the power to weigh ratio of every car. It’s scary. Everyone who is interested in cars should know or watch the TV show Top gear. As i’ve already said my favourite car is a 1969 Dodge charger R/T. For my firs car I probably want a BMW 3 series cause can put BMW M3 bodykits on it and it looks awesome. If not, a Mazda RX8.

A guitar!

Filed under: Uncategorized —— Brens @ 9:08 pm

Hey everyone this post is all about a guitar. A normal electric or acoustic guitar should have 6 strings. A electric guitar is a guitar that doesn’t sound that loud without an ampliphier but when it is plugged into a amplipher you can adjust the sound from loud soft or you can give it real grunt sound. I have 2 electric guitars. My 1st one is a Epiphone sg worth about $400. It is black and has a double cut away. My 2nd electric is a Epiphone les paul custom worth about $1400. It is also black and has a silver scratch plate. It has a single cutaway and silver features. My favourite guitar of mine is a acoustic electric maton guitar worth about $1300. It has a single cutaway and has a black scratch plate. I named my sg Billie, my les paul shadow and my maton Clare. Lately I installed Elixir strings on les paul and they are awesome. Elixirs are probably the best strings you can get for a guitar because they have a anti-rust coating on the strings. The only problem with Elixirs are the electric string cost about $30 and the acoustic ones about $40.

MONEY MONEY MONEY!

Filed under: Uncategorized —— Brens @ 12:18 am

If your wndering what this post is about it is about me and when I go busking. I go normally in summer on Saturdays at about 11 in the morning and play for about an hour. All together I have probably made about 450-500 dollars with an average of about $40. Once I went the day before Christmas and made $72 for half an hour. The songs I play are 3am, Perfect, Time of your life, Mr Jones, For you I will, Unwell, Kryptonite, In the summertime, Don’t dream it’s over and lot’s more. The highest amount someone has given me is $5 but you might not think that is much but that is pretty good for busking. Hopefully some day I will be as famous as Green Day or U2 and touring the world!

Masters drum kits

Filed under: Uncategorized —— Brens @ 3:46 am

I know my passion project is on cars and guitars but I recently bought a drum kit so I can’t get my mind off them. Anyway this post is about the masters drum kit. The name pretty much explains it all. The masters drum kit cost thousands of dollars. Or even tens of thousands of dollars. The master drum kit can vary from maybe 10 to 20 cymbals and maybe 10 to 15 drums. Normally masters drum kits have 2 big bass drums,(the ones you make the pedal hit on the floor) Maybe  5 to 7 tom toms, and maybe 3 floor toms.

 This is a masters drum kit

My drum kit has finally arrived! :) :D :P . As I said it is a Pearl Forum FX. The colour is Red wine and it comes with a big bass drum,(The one you hit with your foot) Floor tom,2 Tom Toms, a snare drum, a high hat cymbal(The cymbal you work with your foot and stick) and a Crash/Ride cymbal.  I haven’t assembled it all but what I have assembled is the seat, the snare stand, the crash stand and cymbal and the high hat stand and cymbal. On Saturday my best friend Darc is coming over to my house and we are going to get Eddy my next door neighbour(Awesome at drums) to come over on Saturday and help me and Darc assemble it.
