PookeyMaster

Welcome mate! Do you live in Northmead? I live here and there's quite a few guys in Castle Hill, Kellyville, Baulkham Hills, etc. as well Nice shot outside Olympic Park too

The hit on the elbow would have hurt a bit, ouch

I was wondering whether anyone has installed a Smart Key System in to their Falcon? The FPV vehicles have the first stage where you use the button for ignition instead of the key but the full Smart Key System would consist of: Proximity-based Remote Keyless Entry Proximity-based Remote Keyless Ignition Obviously this would require an auto-electrician to wire up some extra bits for the Proximity stuff, but does anyone know if it is feasable in the Falcon's? This is basically what I'm talking about, only it's designed for Toyota/Lexus. http://www.advancedkeys.com/Prod_AK104B.html

Damn Channel 9, who cares about the news.

It's like a loyalty scheme I guess you'd call it. It's for Greater Union/Event Cinemas. You get 10 points for every ticket you pay for and when you get 100 points, you get a free ticket. Don't know why they didn't just do 'see 10 get one free' instead of silly points...

I got 430 Cinebuzz points last year @ 10 points per movie. So yeah, I do watch a few, haha

Lol, nice find sad panda. Hopefully *Beep* gets a good banning :D

Tower Heist was a good movie.

What sort of qualifications do you need for that job? Or is it just the ability to drive, haha?

Out of curiosity, anyone know how long or how many tank fills of 98 it would take to flush out all the E10 if you used it for a tank at some point in time?

It says that they will Upgrade the current engines to meet the next lot of emmissions regulations, so I'm guessing there will be a MkIII with better fuel economy but with the major chassis and engine components unchanged. It (like the MkII) would likely have extra 'features' like auto dimming headlights, auto wipers, maybe an internal HDD for music, etc.

About all you can do while keeping your Warranty intact is a K&N Air Filter. Basically, anything else and you run the risk of voiding your Warranty. Best thing to do is talk to your Dealer and see how forgiving they are with mods. Some will have a little leeway while others will have nothing to do with it (and they aren't obliged to of course). As for engine stutter, there's a thread somewhere about others with this issue at the moment...I'll have a look for it. Was that for a Demo or Second-Hand? How many km's?

To me, this says they've given up already. Why wouldn't you try and get money out of the government if it was possible...? http://m.smh.com.au/drive/motor-news/future-of-ford-plants-far-from-assured-20120108-1pq7w.html

God you guys would make me stress if that was the car I'd bought, lol

So, the Falcon is safe until 2016-2017 when it's 99% certain it and the Territory will be gone... http://m.smh.com.au/drive/motor-news/global-ford-executives-back-falcon--for-now-20120105-1plr8.html

It's been in the works for a while now. It was originally supposed to be mandatory back in 2009 from memory but it was all pushed back for similar reasons. There was insufficient ethanol at the time and too few servos had converted to meet the deadline. It's really just an excuse to prop up the ethanol industry. In a per kilometre cost, E10 is more expensive than ULP91 and if your car can take advantage of PULP98, it is also sometimes cheaper than E10. PULP98 is also the cleanest of the fuels concerned and you use less of it per kilometre which reduces your CO2 emissions so having E10 for environmental reasons is rubbish.

Nice pic Dillz. I got caught out too the first time I had them over plain extra drys...that was a bad hangover, lol You're right possum, they were 7.5% a few years back. Haha, you're experience mimicked mine Porno Panda. After the first couple of bottles of the new ones, I knew something was wrong (other than them tasting different) and I wondered whether the new colour scheme had more too it...they still sell them for the same/similar price though. Thanks JC807, I'll give it a try

Hey Guys, So, normally I drink Johnnie Walker Black Label but my beer of choice is Toohey's Extra Dry Platinum. Until recently, the Platinum's were 6.5% and the normal extra dry was 5.0%. Now, the Platinum is only 5.2% and the normal extra drys have dropped to ~4% :( Does anyone know if there's a replacement equivalent or and good alternatives to suggest? The new Platinum's taste like the old extra drys and the new extra dry's are sh*t :(

I love that stuff My grandfather has had Blue Label a few times but I'm too stingy to buy that, hehe. Unfortunately, my local Woolworths Liquor aren't repeating their promotion from last year by the looks of it. I picked up Black Label for $29.95 on December 23 last year

The stuff I've read seems to indicate that they were doing ~160 km/h. If they were doing 200 the 'experts' (dunno whether they are or just media informants) reckon the damage would have been even worse. The thing is though, not even a roll cage, 6-point harness, helmet, neck brace, etc. or any of the other safety features in a V8 supercar or any race car would have saved them. They hit a tree which has maybe 5mm of crumple zone at 160 km/h. The G-forces involved are not survivable. It's one reason why street races have concrete blocks around trees. Their wider surface area is much better at deflecting the car (hence absorbing some of the energy as it richochettes off) rather than stopping it like a thin tree trunk does. At 160 km/h, they would have been doing 44.4 m/s so by the time they even saw the tree or the corner, it was probably too late. One of my mates father is a paramedic and he's seen some gruesome stuff. When you hit things (particuarly solid objects like trees or bridge pylons) at high speed, all sorts of weird things happen. He told one story of a guy who hit a tree head-on at an estimated speed of about 125 km/h. The autopsy revealed that his heart had been partly squeezed through his ribcage (along with his lungs), soft tissues in the eyes had disconnected, etc. It's also quite common for people to suffer hyper extended limbs or even have the limb part the rest of the body.

Lol, I'm glad you asked about the elbow Dags, I've been wondering the same thing myself. I finished work at 1 today and finish at 12:30 and 12 tomorrow and Friday. Got let go early today cause our team of four finished our job (installing software) half a day early and there was nothing else for us to do, lol Double Black is pretty good, it's only 10 bucks extra over the normal stuff too I think. Tasted extra good cause I didn't pay for that bottle too

If it 'may' have had a flash tune, you should get it checked out by a site sponsor ASAP. Otherwise, you risk a Boom...
