Most people have made valid points for and against each poll participant. What I see in the video is a truck tailgating, for whatever reason, and changing lanes without properly checking or giving adequate indication of his intended movements. This video only shows the action of one truck...

Have you heard the story about the little Dutch boy who stuck his finger in a dyke? She beat the **** out of him. Three things you always hear from a Kiwi. My Great Grandmother was a Maori Princess. My Great Grandfather played for the All Blacks and I was just helping it over the fence.

hatch hutch This is a Hatch Hutch:

mmmmm I know of a guy, through friends, who bought a hatch last year, found it in the back and threw it out thinking it was an old tent with bits missing. He only realised what it was when my brother in law showed him pictures.

No No, why do you ask? It is my inlaws who struggle with English and they are nearly as Australian as you can get.

Yep Yep, it is called a "Hatch Hutch". They must be very rare these days.

yes Yes, Pue as in Sue and got as in, well, got. Purrs yo is correct. One relative says P tography and Ree soles as well :D The whole family struggles with English.

My bike mechanic had a Charade Turbo and a STI WRX. The Charade was unbelievable being quicker to 100km/h than the STI but slower over 400m by just 3/10 of a second. He used to race it at the Kwinana Motorplex so Perth people may have seen it and remember it running high 13s. It won the go...

I just pronounce car names as the manufacturer pronounces them. Ow D, Mersaydes etc From the New Zealand Road Patrol program it would appear Kiwis say Sue BAAroo, cutting the word into two seperate parts with the emphasis on BAA. I have relatives that say : Or dee, Renolt, Pue got and...

Two minute noodle sandwiches are great. I also like a "pasta and sauce" sandwich, San Remo or Coles own curry chicken is the best. I discovered it when camping, we had run out of paper plates and bread was the only flat thing we had. Also raw cabbage with salt and vinegar is one of my...

There are very good reasons why so many have turned to fourstrokes in the 400cc and above classes, they have proven to be quicker over all, more reliable and use only half the fuel. Before you all flame me have a look at the specs, or better still have a ride of a new fourstroke dirtbike. Two...

Ugly The two roofline option was also available here but was not popular and was dropped from the options list about six months after the standalone Exa was released. Even if you chose the option you had to wait a few months for the part to arrive from Japan as they did not stock them here...

Still wrong What is more fun than putting 10 babies in one bucket? Putting one baby in 10 buckets. What do Tasmanians and Cocaine have in Common? They are both taken by Cousins. What is more fun than spinning a baby around on a clothes line at 100mph? Stopping it with a shovel.

Same theme but crueler: What do you call a man with no arms and no legs? Anything you want. What's a foot wide and a mile long? A baby on the Freeway. Elephants: How do Elephants communicate? They make trunk calls.

Lift Cheers, I'll look into it. The V6 has been sold so I missed out there. I'm eyeing off a very good bodied, definately lifted wagon with a dead motor (2.6L) for $800.00. I thought if I went this way I don't have to pay rego for another four months, have a spare gearbox and transfer case...

Deluxe Yes it was badged (or stickered) as a Deluxe. I could never find any info on this designation but my car appeared to have less extras than other JC member's GLs. Maybe it was a Dealer Special.

Springs I forgot. Here are the picks from underneath:

No My front bar had never been replaced. VN Lexcens were released only as a GL and a GLX, the VXi first showed up in the VP. The first model with the indicators in the front bar and the odd shaped taillights is also the VP from November 91. VN Lexcens used the same front and rear bar as...

My VN Lexcen had white increment markings for the whole dash, orange front indicator lenses which could be exchanged with the clear Commodore lenses (I tried it), no indicators in the front bar, no central locking and no standard immobiliser. My model designation was "Deluxe". All early...

My Vn Lexcen had electric mirrors and a tacho with Berlina trim on the seats and doors. That was it.

V6 If I get the money whilst the V6 is still available I would transfer everything over except the diffs. I assume the diffs are the same. I would have to build a new shed to house the diffs, body and interior parts though as my current 3x3 is full already. I have a look at the pricing...

Sorry Sorry, picked the wrong poster to quote. :embarrass

The truck you can see changed lanes into the other truck pushing it into the wall. When the unseen truck hit the wall it bounced both trucks away from the wall with the result being what we see in the video. Well, that's my thought anyway.

Bullbar Mack or Kenworth, can't quite remember. Is your V6 stock? If so how does it go, from bush crawling to highway travel? I'm hatching plans already. If I get lucky and get money owed to me soon I can get my hands on an unlic rearended V6 Pajero for $600. The complete driveline is...

Bullbar Haggard? Do you mean it looks rough and tatty, damaged or just too big? I am planning on cleaning it up. It looks a bit too big to me actually and the side steps don't help the clearance but are handy when you are short. It has big sloppy welds on it as well. Does it look...

I got to be a passenger in Allan Grice's Group C Commodore around Wanneroo. In a straight line, from what I can remember, I believe it was a 11 - 12 second car over 400m. Out on the track though it was insane, approaching corners at what I thought was triple the appropriate speed, mashing the...

photos Here it is.

Starter Cheers, will do.

Wow Thanks for that about the MK, didn't even know they existed. My brother had an 1985 MQ, so was the MQ sold along side of the MK maybe as the SWB? The Landcruiser is not a Prado. It is a 4.5litre, petrol guzzling, big 4X4 Thinking about it cost $17000 so I must have the year wrong. I...

Ok I don't feel better giving them ****, actually I feel quite queasy whenever I think of Collingwood :yeah: All in fun, don't take it seriously.

The Pajero is very car like to drive, like a mid seventies model, but car like none the less. Brakes are very good. My Father in Law's 1999 Landcruiser GXL(?) "Luxury Pack" is like a truck compared to the Pajero, in fact it is on par with my brothers 86 model. I'm short so it's good to be up...

Photo I'll take a photo tomorrow. 1986 NC Wagon (Low roof). Yes 91 is a long time ago, I will be considering a lift with new suspension if the money is there in the next few months. No arguments from me, I was thinking MQ Patrols, SWBs aren't bad offroad but the LWBs are dismal without...

Lift I have a receipt that states "50mm suspension lift kit plus fitting" in 1991 for $650 that's it. I actually compared it to another Pajero today and it was only a little different if at all. Body wise it is attached to the chassis as it would have left the factory. I cannot tell if the...

The Imprezza does not lose out on much cargo space between the wagon and the sedan, unless you like to pile gear to the roof. Obviously if the decision has been left to you between sedan or wagon the priority of having a wagon is not so important. The view out the windscreen is the same, the...

It is $3000 WA only = $2000 federal rebate + $1000 state rebate. If you do buy a new car that fits the criteria for factory gas you still only get a $3000 rebate. Gas Power Australia is currently offering "free conversions" in that they price the conversion at $3000, you take a loan for...

No No I have the "Crawler Spec" 2.6 litre, which though underpowered is geared very well. Went for a drive along with my brother and his Petrol 86 LWB Cruiser. I'm glad to say the Paj went through or over eveything including two obstacles my brother had to go around. He was trying to show...

Patrol??? In the price range of the Paj no Patrol is very capable off road. Maybe an old G60 but they are shocking on the road. A lot of money has to spent on the pre-coil spring Patrols to get them to be good off road. I'm happy enough with the Paj as it is more capable than many realise...

Not at all, "implied" gives the impression that some of them may not be which keeps them happy. Well the ones that can read anyway.

Often implied that Collingwood supporters are Bogans/Rednecks and thieves.
