Default Optus smiling orangutan add

I came home from work the other day and my girlfriend said she saw a funny add and wanted me to see it. We checked the optus site, google and youtube and couldn't find it on any of them.
Does anyone know the add she is talking about and how I can see it?

lol and I dont mean the Sam Neill red meat add. I allready have a copy of that on my harddrive. That's the reason she thought I'd find the add she saw funny and worth watching.

Video: Ever seen a V24 diesel rock the dyno?

by Jeremy Korzeniewski (RSS feed) on Nov 30th 2010 at 12:30PM

Want to see something really crazy? How about a 24-cylinder Detroit Diesel engine with twelve giant blowers, all polished up and ready for its new assignment. For what it's worth, its previous assignment was providing the motive force necessary to spin the propeller of a ocean-going yacht.

And its new assignment? Nestled tightly within the confines of a Peterbilt semi truck, mated up to an Allison transmission of some sort and mounted on a custom-built 40-foot-long chassis. Sounds pretty epic to us, and we're thinking that 3,424 horsepower (our feeble brains are telling us it should have well over 5,000 pound-feet of torque...) ought to be just about enough.

And the man behind the madness? That would be Big Mike, the burly bearded millionaire you can read about in detail right here. Nicely done, Mr. Harrah. Hit the jump to see a video of this ridiculous piece of machinery make its first dyno run.

The other done by TAC with the backing song everybody hurts.

Some good ol' hard hitting campaigns to attempt to stop idiocy on our roads. Very realistic too. However many a forum member would have seen these two.

Some silly bloke is getting rid of his genuine BA Typhoon staggered offset 18x8's on Ebay. They are extremely hard to find nowadays!

Yep series 1 BA... These don't come up often. They obviously also clear Brembos which is great for anyone doing track work and wants 18's
