Actually, the passing situation for the GT-R doesn't look that all daunting at the beginning. Probably the jump in the air upset the car's balance and spooked the driver. Checking the place in Google Street View, there seems to be possibility of bringing things back in control by keeping to the left shoulder, then get back on the right side once the center divide is done. From the video, looks like the car was allowed to cross to the right then jump into the field on north side of Ballenger Creek Pike.

They're all gone in the winter and hasn't come back this time yet. How does one tell a Nismo from a regular GT-R at a glance from the outside by the way? 19 hours ago, AnotherSpin said: [...] No need for fancy outline, just pure function, raw and direct.

I agree with you in 100%. Actually, I never bought winter tires in my entire life. Asked about it I always reply that I like snow drift. And it is true (but only up to a certain point ). Yes, driving in snow can a very good driving lesson! AudioDoctor 1 Link to comment

I'll have mine permanently looking ready to throw its rear end out and jump into a field. AA are unfixable in this regard. @accwai just be careful how you phrase where you need to place the wife as ballast in the vehicle to get optimal balance on snow. christopher3393, Ralf11, sphinxsix and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

sphinxsix Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Quote Emil Viklicky is a Czech jazz pianist and composer. Since 1994 he has worked with the Ad lib Moravia ensemble, whose performances combine elements of Moravian folk music, modern jazz and contemporary serious music. Emil has become noted for his unique synthesis of the melodicism and tonalities of Moravian folk song with modern jazz. As English critic Euan Dixon wrote in 2005, "Emil Viklicky is one of those European jazz pianists who successfully incorporated elements of his indigenous folk culture into jazz". As a composer Viklicky has attracted attention abroad primarily for having created a synthesis of the expressive elements of modern jazz with the melodicism and tonalities of Moravian folk song, which is distinctly individual in contemporary jazz. Besides this, however, he also composes "straight-ahead" modern jazz as well as chamber and orchestral works that utilize certain elements of the New Music, and at times his music requires a combination of classical and jazz performers. Emil Viklicky and Miroslav Vitous live in Olomouc. Their IMO superb concert in Brno. An interesting cooperation with Mraz and others. Also recordings of his trio are IMO worth checking out, e.g. Link to comment

I feel compelled to point out my first observation was this is likely unauthentic in the manner only youtube uploaders looking for clicks seem destined towards promoting. I was able to quickly arrive at this conclusion due to the fact her armpits aren't braided. Edit: A bit mainstream, the band not the song or the album, but quite topical. sphinxsix and christopher3393 2 Link to comment
sphinxsix Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Observing the 'Music in General' forum I slowly come to the conclusion that maybe it's high time for 'Animal Music' subforum here BTW Masha Scream from Arkona band indeed not only screams but also growls. As for me - respect! IMO her 'low end' sounds even better than Nina Hagen's! Link to comment
