HI everyone I'm just sitting in a Canberra hotel.. with nothing to do and had a great idea.... well I think it is anyway! :lol: What about a cruise where we all meet up for a nite of dinner drinks and chats.. and whatever else. having a look at the map, we should all leave our homes, Sydney, Melb, Canberra, Adelaide and meet in Albury for a nite, there are a few motel / resorts that can cater for all of us. Meet there have some fun and then take a different route home. Anyway I am just canvassing the idea to see what others think.. and if there is enough enthusiasim I will get some facts together. let me know what you think. cheers david

factory 17" 40 psi front 36 psi rear :smilelove: runs great ... just clocked over the 10,000 K's

Its all been said before ... but certainly the standard AU is the ugliestcar of the last 10 years............... and to think something as beautiful as our machines had such ugly parents... who would have guessed! :lol:

I am an audiophile.. sorta.... I know more about sound than most audiophiles even clain to. In a nutshell its worth ever cent, and in fact is pretty much as good as car sound can get.... given the frequency problems in a confined space. Don't bother with anything else... save your money for a good home system where you can really hear the difference. my 2 cents worth

As per Mr White Tee. me and the feline will be there.... and if its half as good as the last, we'll all have a ball. So to recap, a room and a very large bed please.......(with good springs) see y'all then

Hi Everyone Just to let you know the pic won't be in the paper this weekend. Not sure whats going on and will let you know as soonas I can. It's (at present) scheduled for next sunday. sorry for the late notice. cheers

HI Everyone Soory to bring bad (belated) news... the pic didn't make it this week ... But will be in Next weekend, they are also going to be putting a few words with it. I may give a you a call Trumpy if I cant answer any of the questions.. or YCL. Sorry for the delay,... that's how papers are. I will post as soon as I know 100% that its in cheers

Yep the (Sydney) Sunday Telegraph. I sent an email tonite and hopefully will have an answer tomorrow (friday) if we are in the paper. I will post as soon as I hear. cheers

I also think Brian's car is the "nicest on the block". When my baby grows up I want it to be just like this one!

I am very interested in all the gizmos. Please keep us informed

turbocorty Any idea of a cost and a time?

O and Ken.. don't ask her to get you a coffee! :banghead: pinklady hope to see you on the cruise

Good game any one done better than 781.6?

NYOPA > How did the pic end up being chosen for publication? Will there be a write up on the website with it? l hope its in colour for maximum impact.

As per usual its a HgAg 1 - 2.

HI everyone just to let you know that the picture of us on the Dam wall, taken by YCL will be appearing in The Sunday Telegraph on Sun 4th april (as long as they dont get a better story etc). I will post again a few days before just to confirm which section (either back page or drive)

thanks alxr6t I will have a look at one this arvo.

great to have another T driver around. I am going throught the same excersise atthe moment, and from what I am reading the motul turbolight 4100 looks like good stuff. I haven't tried it yet. I will when I work out how to change the oil!

All the best Craig and Marg and it was lovely meeting you in the snowy's. David & Shelley

Once again everyone comes through with some really usefull advice. If anyone else knows of any other systems please let me know.

HI Everyone a certain feline is wanting to use my car and whilst I have put her off with the usual, running the car in properly, when I have more time, not tonite honey I have a headache, this is fast wearing thin. So it is inevtitable that she will drive it to the supermarket soon. So to stop the inevitable tears (mine) when my T gets home from a reverse to close. I would like some help. Does anyone have an aftermarket reverse sensing system they would recomend. Or is the factroy one the best and can you get it put in aftermarket? thanks in advance for your help

:lol: I thought I saw Princess Di and Elvis on the snowy cruise. Did anyone lese see that, up in the trees?

I agree with the 4wd comments, a friend of mine (and his family) was killed by one a year ago. He got pushed infront of a landcruiser with bull bar and they never stood a chance. Had this been for example an XR6T that hit him with crumple zones etc, he may still be alive. Anyway my 2 cents worth sats that at very least in the city they should have there speed lowered to say 10kms under the limit (at least). And a class 3 licence should be required to drive them. sorry for getting a little off the topic cheers david

that's terrible, IT WOULD BE NICE IF SOMEONE FROM FORD WOULD a) READ THIS SITE SOMETIMES b) DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS... YOUR LOSING A CUSTOMER FOR LIFE!. I hope whichever car you choose it gives you many years of trouble free service. best of luck

I read the manual, and basically it says that cd Compression is a way of compensating for the noise of the car at higher speeds (talks about a 35db variance or whatever) and that it basically makes low (I assume quieter) passages music slightly louder/clearer. I tried it while the car was in the garage and it does seem to smooth the music out, but brings some of the music to a slightly higher level (guitars, singing etc) and seem to keep the louder part of the music (drums, bangs) at roughly the same level. From what I heard it was only a slight, very slight difference.
