    Ford to shut down production in Australia?

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not a julia fan, but I just find it Hilarious that Abbot would use a live cross to respond to a recent announcement as a chance to talk about where he is and why he is there......and not mention the subject that he had the live cross for ! he did later, but not during the...

    Ford to shut down production in Australia?

    Well I'm pretty sure if I had just been told that I'm going live to respond to this announcement, I would not open with that line....... And yes I meant You are an idiot, so i have removed the "R" ok, thanks.

    Ford to shut down production in Australia?

    They crossed to Tony Abbot live for his response to the announcement, his opening words were"What a great day to be here in Davenport" what an idiot, Then they crossed to Julia Gillard her opening words "what a sad, sad day for Australia" tony Abbott, you are an idiot........

    Ford to shut down production in Australia?

    Yep Holden probably won't be far behind because of the flow on effect of local parts manufacturers. from what it sounded like the new cars for ford in 2014 will be part of the future new cars and they will just continue building the current model falcon, ute & territory until 2016. They are...

    Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

    This Police officer that pulled me over had little knowledge of cars, i could tell by the way he asked questions about it, but he wasn't highway patrol so unless he was a car enthusiast himself he would know little other than the brand of car he drives, and if he was a car enthusiast, he...

    Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

    I have written away to have it dismissed, you can do that online now as a first stage, second stage court. Apparently(and i heard this at the pub so there must be some truth to it) the police often don't show up, and it gets thrown out. But they play the game because most of the time people...

    Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

    Well you would think so, but i think you have to announce that you are recording the conversation for it to be used in a court of law, in Australia. Even then I doubt it. What i do carry now is a little note pad to write down the conversation!!!

    Its hardly a selling point? or means anything? Why do they have them then? Surely if it doesn't mean anything, ie doesn't do anything, maybe they should just get rid of the extra weight? I get what your saying though, I mean the Bugatti Veyron has 12 i believe, and I would not buy it for that...

    Giving the car a little stick off the lights, only to 70km/h (speed limit). Cruising along for around a few km and then being pulled over by a paddy wagon. Officer "do you know why I pulled you over?" (somewhat aggitated) Myself "no officer" Officer "you don't remember the lights back there?"...

    ls2 tune with or without OTRCIA question

    Your right there. Suggesting flashing the stock tune back in when you have an OTR induction system is really bad. I fitted my OTR before the tune and the thing ran like a pig, I had to swap back to the stock intake until i got a new tune.

    So i heard a awful rumor about chev badges and the V8 supercars today

    What does it matter? The object is to show case our style of V8 racing, and using a car that they can buy, it is all about selling cars people, that's the business..... Anyone that gets into it will possibly do there home work and find out that the car is using an Australian designed platform...

    You may get the power, even then 10G doesn't go far, but you won't have 8 radiators cooling everything that gets hot, nor will you have the stronger gearbox or the 9.9inch diff and strengthened shafts. Lets face it, you can throw as much money at anything and get all the power you want, but...

    My last car before the VE was a Mazda 3 SP23 bought in 2004, i loved that car but after 7 years i decided to get something with some power, and I had grown to love the look of the VE wagons. Now HSV have made I GTS with 430kw, and there is something Mazda 3ish about it, I like it!!!!! Like a big...

    First day back on this Forum after actually being busy at work and not having time to microwave the popcorn, and i find a thread of a guy showing off his company test vehicle, only to have five pages of what can only be described as jealous self pleaser's asking him to prove it.....

    VF Commodore Performance Intent with Striking New Sport Luxury Show Car

    I think your wrong on both counts, if its 6.2 it will be the LS3, and HSV will not be getting a supercharged LS7. The GTS may get the 6.2 supercharged LSA if we are lucky.

    Why do you have to go lower profile on 20's?

    Yes I agree, on the w@nker bit too. How did you come up with the OD? I calculated it at 632(R22) and 593(R20) just want to know what i missed. It did how ever prove that I could go 245/45R20 as it would work out still a little less than the 245/30R22 so the clearance of the struts should be...

    Just got a new toy, things to do / good mods for a bike?

    Oh yeah, you definitely need a USB port. Maybe an IPAD holder as well. And some saddle bags to hold a couple of six pack sized fridges. Other that you may want to look into blue tooth head phones for the IPAD. Possibly look into a reverse camera set up to the IPAD, that would be sweet.

    I think you meant can, No one can argue that he can box, and your right when he was good he was real good, always looked a real good boxer in the true science of boxing, he may have never had any real big fights, and the few he did he lost, but he never gave himself a chance to improve by...

    Whenyou say you are going to make the brakes fit, you are talking rotors and all right?

    Why do you have to go lower profile on 20's?

    I think we need to end this conversation, I have been know to make people sick through chat or forums alone. Some get feelings of anger, others humiliation but most feel something but cannot explain it. I hope you will be ok.
  35. TraidMarc

    Why do you have to go lower profile on 20's?

    Yes, that would be quite annoying.......We have to put on a protective coat, gloves & mask when switching main switches in the switch room, you could maybe get close to one when they are wearing that gear. Do you only get a reaction when you rub up against one?

    driving without the engine cover

    I put mine back on because I was worried about the paint as well, but now that i think about it, I probably never paid much attention to how hot the bonnet was beforehand with the cover on. I may try again and check in both states. If not just the one I'm in.
