We don't talk about regional kinks enough.
In Western Australia they drink spearmint milk.
A beverage crafted in sheer defiance of God, localised solely within its borders.
Regular mint was not scathing enough. The green elixir needed the searing toothpastey flavor only spearmint could deliver.

I GET TO SEE THE 4K REISSUE OF Initial D on the big screen tonight!
AHHHHHHHH!
I've seen it 14 times as a youth, but this will be the first time I've ever watched it with proper subtitles! Historically, I watched a very dodgy DVD or VCD rip which had only a half-finished fan sub.

I was 15 when my sister pointed out that my interstate aunt's Christmas gifts were, coincidentally, always things you could pickup at the airport bookstore...

Cute tidbit from when the Australian Grand Prix took place in Adelaide.
Williams requested a local brewery supply 84 litres of demineralized water for their race car's cooling needs.
Adelaide has long been famous for poor tap water, but I suspect few F1 teams ever used it anyway.

Okay, so that's a whole different car!
I do kinda see the appeal but I'd wanna pull towards a greener, less yellow green, and I can't stand the red or blue here.
It'd be beautiful in the recent BMW pale blue or the T-Cross teal I think.
My opinion only of course :P

having a hell of a time color grading this.

Right: Video in Rec. 709. Completely flattened.
Given most of the world still runs on 709... I might be boned here.
