  1. Stone the crows!, where do you guys get these one liners from??? PC, enjoyed your little dittie!
  2. Subject: Female Compassion. A man was lying on a towel at the beach. He had no arms or legs. Three women were walking past and felt sorry for the poor man. The first woman said " Have you ever had a hug" The man said "No", So she gave him a hug and walked on. The second woman said " Have you ever had a kiss". The man said "No", So she gave him a kiss and walked on. The third woman walked over to him, knelt down and whispered in his ear, "Have you ever been f***ed? The fellow looked up in amazement and said "No" The woman smiled and said "You will be when the tide comes in."
  3. No, it wasn't a big ho;e. The was a "ring" impression the size of a 5 cent piece, but the hole was very small. I will drop back into the tyre place today and ask their opinion as well. Thanks guys.
  4. Just bought a set of Falken RT615's for an up coming Track day at Eastern Creek. Fitted Thursday. drove around a bit in the wet and as well today and could believe how well they felt! Handling was solid and road noise very low. I get a puncture in the near side rear. Put on the 17" inch spare and drop in at the Goodspanner outlet at Harbord for a repair. The tyre fixed for $25.00. It's got 100+ klms on it. Do I go and buy another tyre for the Track day, or do I assume the tyres up to the job?? Any thoughts??? Thanks
  5. I have had my car serviced by Alto Ford in Artarmon Sydney. No complaints at all. In fact they attended to a leak under warranty without question. Will continue to use them. If the attitude changes, and I get grief, then time to look elsewhere. So far so good.
  6. Haven't been to Wakefield, but have been told it's a good day. Will see a bit closer to the date, but it's a long time away! I am going to Eastern Creek though on the 30th April for a Track Day. Need that speed and I need it now! Put the new Falken RT615's on her this morning to scruff them up a bit before the day. They feel really good, and handled the wet Sydney roads well. See you at the track.
  7. Sounds like a load of fun. Need to practice those power slides more! Have been a a few and they are excellent. The V8's are on that Sunday, so affraid I will be in front of the tube barracking for Lowndes and all the other Ford drivers. Hopefully they will not take each other out as they did at the ING Grand Prix. I will be doing a track day at Eastern creek on the 30th though.
  8. Spotted yesterday arvo around 5:30PM at Mosman, a silver/grey FPV?? plates "UNSPKN". This morning on Warringah rd heading towards frenchs Forest, front row at the lights. Crummidore pulls up next to me. He's primed ready to go. The airs on, I'm singing along to Deep purple "Highway Star" again, and I figure, do I want to go to the effort to turn the air & my tune off??? naah, can't be bothered. Gave her a little squirt and crummidore thought it was on and did his best! I'll save him for another day! Waht a considerate road user I am! Tonight at Freshwater an orange XR8 "MES17E". Seeing alot more brothers around the Peninsula.
  9. Nice sunroof Saleen! Think you should mow the lawn, before you go out again. Gotta keep the neighbourhood look'n good ya know!
  10. A Pub Crawl sounds great, but sorry Northies is just too far for a peninsula guy! Too many problems getting home. Passed this morning on Spit Hill, me going towards the city and the spotted going north. A Lime green T with plates "MYXR6T" at around 6:45am. Got distracted with some plonker deciding to put his heap into the 3metres I left between me and the car in front. Oh yer, the boys in blue have a new car! Heading home tonight on Military Rd Cremorne, a purple SS. Got a transit lane runner. They also have a nice blue GT with strips in my area as well! Really got to keep a look out for the light bar on the rear parcel tray and that little box on the dash! Ahhhh, the joys of driving!
  11. Heading home tonight, coming the opposite direction at Manly Vale was an orange FPV, rego FPV006. Had a bit of a run next to another FPV from Neutral Bay to Spit Bridge with another orange FPV, no fancy plate, just initials & numbers. Nice.
  12. Unfortunately I have to concur with Steve. Yes how about "I want one", but with 3 kids and "Hers indoors - The minister of home & Finance", my, oops sorry our next purchase is a Territory. even with a turbo, it's not the same as an XR.
  13. Went for a drive today from the Peninsula to see some clients in the Shire. No sooner had I got through the airport tunnel, did I start seeing XR's everywhere. Caught a glimpse of a blue ute IUP500?. Parked at Miranda Fair next to a Blue T "MOS11Y". Just down from us was a Green Ute with grey GT strips "TRE5ON". One level below a white XR8 "GT0572". There were others, but going in the other direction and too hard to read/remember. On Southern Cross Drive heading into the office in the big smoke, I passed a lovely lady in a grey FPV "SOU###" I enjoyed my excusion very much.
  14. Mines only coming up to 25k, in 13 months, so wheres the place to go in Sydney Senna for the "better intake and exhaust componets"??? Stock XR6T. May aily drive with a few "excursions" from time to time!
  15. Pretty impressive R-Spec. Suppose you do a bit of fanging up Timbertop and Craig Rd as well! Lots of nice streets in the area.
  16. Hang on a minute. If Saleen is from Canberra, why does he have "NSW" as his where he is from? Should more points be deducted?????
  17. And hello to you too.

    Nice looking ute.

    Never been to WA, but lots of people tell me it's a terrific place. Hope you get that front end fixed up. I've been to a few Advance driving days since getting my T and would recommend them. Safe and enjoyable way of gaining valuable driving skill. Hopefully see more of your postings in the future.

  18. Curlie. A few doors up from the Harbord Bowling Club. Gods country
  19. I've got a standard 2006 T sedan and I just love the sound, feel, grunt and excitement it gives me every time I get in her, but man, yours must be awesome! I keep an eye out for you on the Peninsula!
  20. Yer, I saw these at my local Ford dealer the other week. They look good. Thought exactly the same thing. Given the brake dust issue, I wish they were out when I bought my T back in 2006! Go to your local Ford dealer, but there are heaps of "Wheels" on ebay that are just mad. Good luck.
  21. G'day Adam. How do you do burn outs like that???
  22. Yer, I too have had a devil of a time trying to put a picture of my car on this site. I took some photo's at 3mega pixels. Still had to reduce it and then scale back the picture to get it under the allowable size. All I can suggest is you take a photo at a low resolution.
  23. Agree with Dagabond. Don't waste your time. I replaced mine with a set of DBA 4000's.
