WARNING: The links below are NOT work safe, the actual videos are OK, but you get the PRON banners all over the place (no POP-UPs though)!!! Couple of funny videos I got today.... SPA Girl Criminal Mastermind The site seems to have heaps of others but lots of PRON as well....

I can't believe it, you spend the whole weekend with Cro in your car and you still want to come on another cruise??? Great to meet you Dal, I am not sure if you remember but on Sat night you said you would give me $50 because I am such a great bloke... I swear it is true. I thought I should remind you because I think you were lying on the floor at the time (PS: It was only 6:30pm)..

So, hands up who was SOFT and didn't make the cruise on Sunday..... C'mon, you'll feel better once you admit it. This is a loving community, no one will make fun of you...

AWESOME WEEKEND!!!! Thanks Cro for your time in organising it and Turbo6man for leading us through the twisties (not bad for an old barge! ) Thank you and SORRY to everyone at the pub on Saturday night..... Shaz and Trent, Thanks for putting me up for the night.... I can't believe the rooms were $270 per night!! Oh well, I was happy to put in my third though Hope you guys got home safe and sound after the very long drive. Julian and Rob, National Parks called, asking about some damage to local gardens in the Jindabine area.... Anyway, off to work after way too little sleep.... Cheers, Aaron.

Bugger!!! That is a bit of a let down. So they are just stripped out XR8's then, with the body kit to make them look the part.

Sorry if this is a Do some hot laps in a V8 Supercar.... with you at the wheel!!! V8Race.com $299 for 5 laps around Eastern Creek at the wheel of a V8 sounds pretty tempting. Has anyone done this yet?

Check this crash.... BMW Racing Crash It is a very second hand BMW.... Not sure how the driver came out of it though.

No it doesn't - you better go right back and read it again 19 pages and 225 posts - you'd think one of our eagle-eyed, erstwhile, sharp as tacks members would have picked up on it - no really, THEY can't ALL be that dumb ... so YOU must have just misread it. :smilielol: ← I wouldn't have expected anything less from an AU driver....

All booked at Alpine Gables!!! I am not sure about your timings though Cro, 1st post reads: "Meet at Mt Annan 9am, Sat Afternoon" I assume that you must get up real early mate. Cheers, Aaron

I think I can see where the problem is.... That has hit very hard, the whole rear end is bent.

It was an IS250... the chrome needed more polishing!!! Someone did make the comment to me though, "If it was highly polished you couldn't drive it on the road because of the glare reflection" I guess that makes sense...

Would you like to see a picture of my sister?

holes.....

Need one of these for my car space at work And another crash test, Truck vs Barrier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYNNWdN2lGg ← Awesome 72, that is the one

I saw some awesome footage of bollard testing where they ran a truck into one. The truck was destroyed, but the bollard still lowered perfectly.

I saw them at the show on Thursday, they actually caught my eye on the lime green phoon. I liked them in the flesh... not sure about the photos. I will dig up the pics I took and post them up tomorrow. Cheers

Thanks for the info Zap, I will be sending them a sob story letter next week and see how I go. I actually thought about getting the pic for exactly that reason.... "that's going straight to the pool room". And I even have a pool room too. Cheers.

Thanks Sly. Looks like I need to spend a little while in front of MS Word... Cheers.

Hi Sly, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to answer these questions. It is genuinely appreciated. I know you are from NSW, but I am hoping you can shed some light on this one for me. I recently took the family on a driving holiday around Vic and returned to Sydney via the NSW south coast. Traveling between two remote coastal towns in VIC (about 150km a part), I was ALLEGEDLY photographed doing 104kph in a 100kph zone. That is 4 kph over the limit. I checked whereis.com.au to see where the hell it was, and it is a dead straight section of road for a good 50kms minimum. I thought that due to speedo and radar error that you couldn't be pinged for such a small difference. This example is only 4% difference. Or are the radars more accurate now? Is there a standard acceptable error in car speedometers? I know my car is standard for drivetrain and wheels and my speedo definitely does NOT read the same as my GPS. There is about 4km difference between them (the other way unfortunately for me). It is not worth taking it to court as it is a $134 fine and it would cost me more than that for the airfare, without considering the day off work, taxis, etc. Is it worth paying for the photo? $7.50 isn't too much, but am I wasting my time? I am considering just writing a letter and hoping commonsense prevails and they let me go with a warning. It has been approx. 8 years since my last speeding fine and I have probably covered more than 400,000km in that time. It is mainly frustrating really as it has put a real dampener on the whole holiday. Thanks, Aaron

I recently bought the Garmin Nuvi 310. Used it for a trip through VIC and up the NSW south coast. It was excellent. The 310 has bluetooth and Text To Speech (TTS) so it can tell you the street names as well for upcoming directions. I thought it might be a wank, but it is handy sometimes to confirm you have the correct street. The Maps were pretty accurate as well, it never gave a wrong direction and re-calculates in seconds if you miss a turn. All the usual 3D maps and touch screen and it is not much bigger than a cigarette packet so you can carry it with you. Also includes thousands and thousands of things like attractions, restaurants, takeaways, hotels, fuel, parking, etc. Each one also has the phone number which you can then automatically dial with bluetooth hands-free. If you shop around you should be able to get one for around $900 - $950. Map updates are approx. $120 (one of the cheapest I found). The shop I got it from also loaded all the redlight cameras, speed cameras and school zones. It flashes a red banner and tells you the speed. If you are exceeding the speed it will continue to beep to warn you. You can grab tonnes of different POI's off the net as well. Hope this helps. Cheers, Aaron EDIT: Also has some other wanky stuff like MP3 player, world clock, calculator, language and currency conversion, audible books, etc.

Ok, I think all this talk of alcohol abuse has convinced me.... Cro, I am in for this one mate. Just me and I will let you know once I have booked the accom. Wahoo... Aaron ** Now where did I put those drinking boots **

No.... Alzheimer's. I just finished hiding my own presents..... :

Can still pull the chics though.... Thanks Shaz.

F*ck U!!!

Hey Cro, What are you doing with the EDIT off your XR6T???? DBOSS made me ask....
