Antisocial

What a tosser...Everyone know's orange Shag will be the new big thing. I guarantee you there will not be another Orange XC at the summernats with an interior like this. Do it Mick you know you want too...

Does your new instrument cluster have the chicken's head pictures on them? Just like FPV's should have or did they just put an XR one in?

The tool you want are Metrinch, ring spanners or sockets. Not the best thing for normal use but brilliant on rounded nuts as they grip on the flats not the corners. And there is super concetrated wd40 is called Penetrene or something like that...just squirt on then sit back and wait, for it to do the hard work for you. http://www.metrinch-tools.com/website/intr...php?language=gb http://www.steamengine.com.au/ic/faq/penetratingoil.html

All that crap accumulates on the normal filter, not just the pollen filter. As I discovered when I took it out to install the pollen filter in my car.

Yes that's true, my next door neighbour is a fire rescue guy and he went on a Toyota training course All about how to disable it and where not to cut it with the jaws of life...

Looks good. Also great to see somone getting new rims and not scrooging out ang getting some cheap arse tyres. Well done.

I love the video for the older song Warning... Amongst other things takes a cold and flu tablets then operates large machinery.

Well done Rossco.... I take back most of the bad things I ever said about you.

The tinted rear windows may be a flow on from the US where they have what they call 'privacy glass' as a factory option. Its where all but the two front and of course the windscreen are tinted very dark. They have had it for many years and I noticed a new top of the line grand cherokee at the dealership in town had it fitted but the other 2 they had did not. Perhaps the ADRs have been changed so importers can have it as an option on cars brought to Oz now. Congrats on the new car Simon, looks good but a bit overpriced for my taste.... can't wait for the pics.

Glad you can still see the funny side of things....

As the other have said I feel it stems from a general contempt for other people. How many times a day do you wait at an intersection for someone to pass straight thru in front of you, only to have them turn at the last minute without indicating? How many times does the car behind you cruise straight thru the stop sign, because they stoped behind you when you stoped? How many times do you get tailgated right up the clacker, or even abused when doing 50km/h in a 40km/h road works or school zone? How many times have you been travelling along the highway and had some bumpkin in a loaded up old ute or towing a caravan, brake test you by pulling straight out and powering off at 30km/h? Looking at recent events like those in Cronulla show that unfortunately in our ‘modern’ society people don’t give a crap about others anymore. Then there are the 'other' people do not see driving as complicated, because they do not know how to drive, they do not watch further ahead in the traffic to see if there may be dramas ahead. They do not look in their mirrors to see if there are divers approaching from behind, or in the next lane, they do not check their tyre pressures or clean their windows. They just drive at or below the speed limit because they have been told this makes them safe drivers. Combine this with fatigue…throw in a few grogs, an unlicensed driver in a poorly maintained car on a badly maintained road with far more traffic than it was designed to cope with, and the result should not be a surprise to anyone. Sure speed is a factor in most crashes but it is rarely the main cause of any accident. How many of speed every day, on a good road…in the dry … on tyres with grooves in them… without being over 0.5…in a registered, insured and maintained car, without killing everyone in sight? But all these other things take money, effort and planning to fix, ……speed cameras make money. ...so Australians will continue to die.

I agree with JB at a recent ACT (federal) Police open day I asked a HWP guy the same thing and he said hs XR8 was stock, with prem brakes as the only option. He said they used thier advanced driver training and the radio to get an edge over the villians. As the the moded Police XR6T here in town it was just a bit of a practical joke by one of the officers, I think it was a 'WGR enhanced' badge on the bottlid near the trubo badge. Wane Gardner Racing. But the car was stock.

I'm using a PureONE filter (Z9 equivalent) in my Turbo. Is this a good filter or you just pay for marketing? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your just paying for the marketing, there all manufactured at the same place and relabelled, now off shore since Ryco Filters closed there manufacturing plant here in Aus sacking over 200 people. :middlefingerred: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not all filters are made to the same quality. I remember a mates diesel landcruiser utes oli pump bypass would jam up occasionally, the Genuine Toyota filters weould cope with it ok, but the Rycos would burst open spraying oil all over the joint. So if the metal case is of a lower quality, stands to reason the filtration element is too....

Being who who frequents the insurance Co's damaged vehicle auctions, from the sound of the extent of the damage. I think you will find AAMI takes your car ute and gives you a cheque. AAMI are scrooges and their cars are always the ones passed in as they want top dollar for them.

The article is writen like Toyota are the only company in the world to produce Hybrid vehicles, but Honda pioneered it ........in Australia at least. And the guys who work for the same company as me in the US have Hybrid Ford Escapes as their new company cars. Another thing from that story that is pretty amazing, is to consider that Toyotas single plant in Kentucky has the capacity to produce half of the cars sold in Australia, 500,000 cars a year.

<div class='bbimg'> </div> <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Kinda stoopid point to make comparing it to car sales. If I want to take my family for a drive I need to buy ONE car....... If we want to go ride then I need to buy 4 bicycles.

Did you know ... Postwhores only include a single fact per post?

Not really a valid test. As red absorbs a lot of thermal energy and gets almost as hot as black in the sun. A better comparisson would be between black and white or silver..

Nope...fraid not. http://allhomes.com.au

Yes Terry is the man. Unless you want to clock up 70,000ks a year like Cro does....don't bother driving to Mitchell.

What more need be said....

Thanks for organising a great night Garry....

Ross finding the negative in every situation, as per usual...... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that's ok, he has always been a "brains half empty" kind of bloke.

Garry, I'll be there and I'll bring Grumpy too.

I had my LHS mount replaced under warranty today.
