ah huh, plenty of problematic cars around here too

Good idea, but prob is, if the thread is not used for 2 weeks, it will disappear from the latest post list. Unless you have the thread ID stored, it is harder for people to find and then post in. Let's see how it goes.

nor do I, there's something about the Monaro

BWAHAHAHAHA check out the rego

Gotta know what you are up against champ

Try under 14k drive in drive out with 400rwkw fully ADR compliant I too am intrigued by this comment. $14K, compatible with LS1 or LS2, or both? Chris

LS2 Clubbie

not 100% sure about this thread maybe you guys should populate the forum's gallery, the gallery used to be very fat with pics, now, after a move to a new server (I think) we have to start from scratch. upload some pics to the gallery I say

lop-sided outcome, far more Fords in the top 10, but I guess it matters not, Expensive Daewoo at the front Bring on Adelaide!

The whole Minardi issues sh!ts me no end!!! FIFO - Fit In or *beep* Off. Done. Sorted. Next?

that's why you should buy manuals

Dunno if this will help persuade u but this is mine. I wouldnt trade it for anything else because the attention level on it is above most other cars and that's what I love. APS twin turbo kit on the books so look out Oh and I just bought some nice big brembos so the holes in the wheels can finally be filled. hehe LOVE IT! The TT set up is gonna cost ya, about $17K from my research but well worth it

Yeah, FPR, Ritter is doing well for his limited experience. Yeah, V8's are on today, 19 lapper @ 1430. Chris

It's ok Ben the boys here are cool, we all have a b**ch about who's the fastest in which car so no blood spilt here Thank God, getting some Expensive Daewoo lads around, 'bout time. Now I might have some back up when we start talking V8 Supercars

shaping up to be a good year I think - too bad HRT and HSV DT are so farken similar in appearance though

none

aahhh sh!t, sorry Jeffrey!!!

I find myself agreeing with Cro - listen to the man

I wanted one, but was going to cause an extra 3 week wait, so I opted for the premo stoppers instead... can't say I regret the decision as I hae never owned a car with a sunroof, but when I do, I will let ya know They do looook swoit!!!

Will let James tell his side, but apparently the replacement feels nothing like the old one ever did, even when it was new. Chris

Well, At the risk of tempting fate, leaving myself wide open to karma's wrath and being perceived as an absolute pr!ck, I feel I it is my duty to tell you all a little story. Apologies for the length of this post, but details are required. If you want the picture only version, just scroll through and look at the pretty pics. Some mates and I cruise along Putty road once every three months or so. The line-up varies from one quarter to the next, but I am pleased to say my T has always been present and has not failed to date. Last Sunday's line-up consisted of: Me in my Black T Damo in his Citric NA James in his V2 Series III CV8 Monaro The plan: Cruise from Windsor to the half-way house truck stop, get out and chat about leg 1 of 4, admire the bikes and think how fun Putty would be on a bike...eeeeexcellent. Leg 2 being from the half-way house to just before the bridge at Bulga, a very twisty run through narrow cliff hugging roads. Leg 3, leg 2, southbound. Leg 4, leg 1 southbound. That was the plan....now for a reality check...Putty has a history of killing cars amongst our friends, BEN189's VS did not get far late 2004, this time was no exception. Leg 1 went as planned, very few cars on the Putty made it very enjoyable, overcast and just cool enough for the turbo to enjoy itself. We stopped at the half-way house for the first time briefly. I took off quickly, closely followed by the Monaro and CITRIC. We got caught behind a semi and an older model Falcon. I quickly disposed of these 2 vehicles and just assumed the rest of my party would be in toe when they got the chance... I enjoyed leg 2 and arrived at the agreed meeting place, passed the Police station, watch that, 80 zone you know. I waited for a decent time, so much so that I began to worry. As I waited I saw numerous cars and bikes pass me, cars and bikes that I had overtaken and thought the other 2 would have passed also. Colour me concerned at this point. Some 15 minutes later, I see CITRIC's headlights approaching, with an extra passenger...hhmmmmm first thought was that James had stacked his Monaro, but no, Putty got the better of it and killed the clutch. No more clutch, OUCH! Tow truck was called, at least an hour and a half away...remember, Putty is in the middle of bumfcuk idaho, nothing around for miles. Leg 3 saw an extra passenger for my black T. Upon leaving the dust bowl at Bulga, James simply said "I love this car". That's a quote. Aaaanyway, moving right along, we hit leg 3 and that was fun. As we approached a crest, we saw a sorry sight. Tow truck was still a way off, so we returned to the half-way house for a burger...tasty. Damo also considered throwing a few Litres of premium fuel into CITRIC, but thought better of it. Smart decision. After killing some time, we all piled into the T and headed north for a second time to the stricken Monaro. I must say, Damo and I were very restrained, we could have made so much more fun of poor James and the situation than we did...hence this thread Waited with the Monaro until the towie came, he was wearing a Expensive Daewoo cap and made it clear he was not a fan of the common-day cars, especially the Ford variety. Commence leg 4 - Traffic what sh!thouse. If watching his beloved Monaro get carried away was not painful enough, half way along leg 4, we came flying up behind the towie, James and I actually got caught behind this thing for ages, I mean about half an hour, the line of traffic in front of him was too long even for the T to get passed safely. So, there we were, sitting behind the Monaro, bouncing up and down on the back of a tilt tray. Got some killer footage of this actually. Back to the shire for a BBQ and a few beers, was definitely called for. To end the day off, a $120 cab ride from Sans Souci to Normanhurst was in order, see, we didn't even drive him home, how slack are we???!!! That's it guys, I hope you enjoyed it. No doubt you will have a little fun with this thread? Chris

NOT to hijack this thread, but I think the crew that go on the cruises are a top bunch and even with the b!tching on the forum, we are always able to put it to one side on such days. We are sure to enjoy the day...can't wait. Chris

that's what I said about Ford, now I drive a T. Chris
