  1. my built btr has been fine with 350rwkw for a while, but its not a daily- I dont have an issue driving it hard, but dont do burnouts or thrash it.
  2. yay! Decided no work today- date day with the missus sounded better...
  3. @HRM Fluff of Cornwall nice. I love chill pop here's a few more: excellent chill driving music.
  4. you obviously don't understand mental illness. it's not a choice of behavior....
  5. put a level against the guards to the ground (and make sure its plumb). measure the distance from the level to the existing rim. then go to https://www.wheel-size.com/size/ford/falcon/ to find the existing size/ offset of your rims. then go to https://www.willtheyfit.com/ and enter the existing measurements, then the measurements that will make it flush with he guard if you want it flush. adjust for poke, or in a bit, or whatever. I wouldnt go closer to the strut, and if your increasing rim diameter you might even need to go further away. pop your hand to the the top of the rear of the tyre and feel what kind of clearance you have.
  6. changed them over yesterday- TPMS went across to the aftermarket rims no probs. ride feels no difference- probably due to the airbag suspension being so good. very happy with the result.
  7. but theyre both fords so they must fit...
  8. ha ha- that weirdo- whats his name- goeers? would NOT like that... especially if I pass him on his bike... its pretty much the same car as audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne- same running gear and underpinnings, but cheaper, so I guess they feel can justify a VW with a 100k + price tag...
  9. my mechanic said buy a range rover if you like spending all your money on maintenance....
  10. yeah theyre nice. I looked at Q7, range rover discovery 4, range rover sport, Porsche cayenne- but after having my Touareg for 2 years I love it, so it made sense to upgrade. the other problem I have is can I rock up to renovate someones bathroom in an Audi or a Porsche? plus driving a Porsche Cayenne makes you look like a wanker...
  11. this thing hammers... 800nm from 1750rpm... what I just bought is the poor mans Q7...
  12. just over 1/3 of new drive away price... although with tax invoice 10% goes straight back in my pocket... new theyre 128k on the road.
  13. yeah ive still got both cars- selling the black one with whatever rims I dont want. although maybe I should just get stock 17s to put on the car im selling and put the r line wheels in the garage for when I eventually sell it. the 21's have brand new pirellis on them...
  14. just purchased this car: stock wheels- 21" x 9.5" was going to put the ones from my old car on- staggered: 22" x 9" front, 22" x 10.5" rear. flush offset. thoughts?
  15. not much to see except an engine cover lol
  16. just got home from picking this up from gold coast- that was a long drive.... those brakes! got 8.1L/ 100. not bad for a twin turbo V8...
  17. maybe. I need to dig the panda out and do a couple things if I get chance- prob should do the power steering high pressure hose as its getting a bit juttery... if nothing else I can bring the new R line.... bear in mind weather may not be great that time, but you might get lucky.
  18. I got a Hisense 65" 4K for family room a couple months ago after checking out my brother in law's and being blown away... sweet unit. the internet side of things is crap on all tellies I think, but a good 4K streamer sorts that right out no issues so far
  19. waking up to camping rather than day to day schedule. weather hasn't been great in Mt Gambier last 24 hours, but still prefer this to work.... cafes, wine, bbq's, wine, shopping, wine.
