  1. Will be doing an Anzac day BBQ if any Vic's were bored and wanted to drop in for a feed.
  2. You should just become a mod and do it yourself.
  3. I can't recommend a "double" blind enough - a total "blockout one" and a "shade one" between that and the glass. Daytime the blockout is up, but you still get 100% privacy and effectively a tint - sure beats having to choose between zero view outside and zero privacy inside. Awesome for filtering out the sun too.
  4. Me too - the company has a reputation for shitty customer service - luckily I didn't cop that. Bought online from OS - was expecting to have the send the unit to China, with the expenses and time involved. Instead I got an email from their support and they organised the swap over with their local distributor.
  5. Sorted - straight swap over at local dealer. Faith in humanity restored :D
  6. Was hoping that's what the Toyota thing was going to turn into
  7. Have messaged son to see if there's any rooms left in Mansfield.
  8. It's all fun and games until the home automation becomes sentient, closes the blinds, turns off the lights and sicks the blender onto you.
  9. Car going to be ready? Could do a cruise Sat - Kinglake, Spur, Buller (depending on weather), etc and heaps of places nearby to crash for the night within an hour of the track (Mr 22yo is "running" a pub in Mansfield - could see if he can hook us up with something - depending on numbers - less than an hour away from Winton).
  10. Would be up for it I should have organised something for the Island this weekend, but was flat out. Never been to Winton - an definitely up for it.
  11. Think someone must have been in my account - wasn't any unread topics. Using a pen/paper calander - how old skool is that?
  12. Checking in - bottle of Rye down, can still type. Winning.
  13. An xbox or Playstation or Harvey Norman PC is fark'n powerful and flash for 90% of the people who buy them. For a while. A custom PC lasts a lot longer - but can be upgraded later to still be powerful. (same pc from PS1 days still runs quick. PS1 is now a Lada) To add longevity (power/flash wise) to any of the above requires community, modability and desire. No one is going to spend time, nor is the community/desire going to be there to upgrade/hack the xbox, PS or HN PC - will be a new model later to swap over for. The custom PC will have parts swapped out, have the bios entered and tweaked, be broken, fixed, broken and fixed again. To me most cars are xboxes, playstations or HN PC's No matter how great they are at launch - no matter how great the specs are - that's the best they'll ever be. Some cars though - they get "Jailbreak"'d They become the custom PC versions - get tweaked, upgraded, overclocked, broke, fixed, broke and fixed again. Has the Kia got the factory or the community support to be anything other than a console or HN PC? Will it be the next WRX or EVO or FPV or HSV? Or will it be the next Hyundai Soupe?
  14. Sorry, we can't find the page you're looking for!
  15. TRANSLATE: "What's a key cost?" "Can get one cut at Bunnings for $2.80" Translation and CPI were both off
  16. As I said - if the platform backs up the design then am all for it. If the brochure is all gloss then I'm not. I think on this forum there's a hell of a lot of quiet satisfaction and complacency that the platform overdoes the brochure. I can't see us getting this sort of performance/dollar again til electric cars (with zero limitations) become affordable.
  17. Doesn't he know that camera gear robs multiple 10'ths of a second from the performance reviews?
  18. The Falcon Guppie? Twin Turbo 250kw?? V6 RWD sounds friggin awesome - as long as the whole platform supports and the potential. Have been lots of shopping carts in the past that look good in advertising blurbs and we never hear of once they reach production. Why did you add the G6E in there?
  19. Replies weren't aimed at mike - they were aimed the thought of changes And the idea of "supercar" advertising vs "shoppingcar" performance The car sounds interesting, but the actual performance, platform and potential are unknown. (Look for the 1st person who posted pics of the FG-X, or even dig further for the 1st pics of the FG - am sure the "nasty comments" were worse)
  20. Hyundai tried already with the dunnydoors
  21. WMMFGT: Just found out (10 mins ago) Mate is fighting main event - Madison fucking Square fucking Garden - June 9 Presented by "Hooters" is just the bonus. edit: am now looking at airfares edit2: wow - $1500 return - that's cheaper than taking the car to Tassie for the weekend
  22. You picked well Would have been one of my recommendations for a blind purchase - Aidan still uses his daily 4 years down the track.
  23. Will be perfect for that - they fold up quite neat Make sure you have a battery pack for your phone/tablet - they won't really help if the screen dies mid flight.
