Totally O/T - olympics/paralympics
Turbo Mini Forums

Just a few photos.

Wifey was one of the Gamesmakers for the Olympics (10 days) and then asked back to do another 5 days on the paralympics. Partly because of that we got some tickets for four of us for really good seats on the final day of Paralympics athletics on Saturday.

Before the photos, I would like to add my thanks (in additional to the gamesmakers) to the armed forces who had to step in at the last minute to secure the games. I know a few of you on this forum are in the forces and what I saw, and what wifey experienced for 20 days, and everyone else I've spoken to who have actually been there, say you have put a more "human" face to your job (sorry if that comes across wrong but that's what everyone I've spoken to says).

Anyway.

Just above the start/finish straight and just behind the medal cameras before the stadium filled.



Guess who's wifey



the engineering for the stadium open/close cerominis is awsesome


and the display screens


But the actual medal winners are even more so

Blind runners in this case and,

Wheelchair racers in this one.

I have loads more photos but my photobucket account seems seriously f***ed at the moment.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

The games where amazing! its amazing what people can do when they set there minds to it :) bloody brilliant

I was there for the Olympics and Para's looking after the big screens, was a great atmosphere

16V project underway

I think there was a big lesson the gov could learn with the army's involvement... Everything was much more efficient. Maybe they should be put in charge of all of the countries homeland security, airports, ports, etc..... Not as they are but a packaged version for homeland....

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!
