Assualted At Work
make official complaint to police (this draw blood sh*t is sh*t)With the complaint it's now a matter of record and can be brought up at any time in the future. You also have cause for "unfair Dismissal" even though your employer didn't sack you. It has been proven in the past that if you had no choice but to leave your job because of a reason that is controlled by your employer, it is deamed to be unfairly dismissed. Before embarking down this road,consider any further ramifications regarding future employers.

Mitsubishi 380 Recall Already

Mitsubishi 380 Recall Already
that's why I have the AWD vrx, and with it, if anyone names a time, I'll name the track because its by far the best handling BIG car I have owned. I never brought it to compete with a xrt or a hsv etc, I brought it for my wife and family, it's got all the fruit and so far hasent missed a beat, unlike my yoot. (which I love)

Mitsubishi 380 Recall Already
I wish I had as few troubles with my ute as I have had with my magna. Man we are quick to criticise, afaik MMA don't and won't have a car in the xrt class to be an equal or even a threat, so why do we all assume they are sh*t? How many of us guys have driven one? and how short are our memories? have we all forgot about the AU. I really hope MMA succede, it may just encourage FoMoCo to pick there act up and give us the quality cars we actually pay for.

Headache
am also a rider (well, used to be ), so I thought id post it up. I think the rider spearing across the track may have had a stuck throttle. he seems to have come over a jump into a corner (see the first cammera angle) and somethings gone amiss. he just seems to be going too fast and the race seems to be proffesional for it to be a simple case of "sh*t rider". <{POST_SNAPBACK}> throttle stuck open is what happened

New Record For My Ute

New Record For My Ute
As the title suggests, I achieved something that I have been unable to do before. I ran out of fuel in the ute in only 322k's. that's 83 odd liters of BP ultimate. The trip said I had 9 ks to empty (lieing bas*ard) For a second I thought I may have been in my rodeo. I give it a hard time but 322ks is a bit much, usually its 360 odd.

Headache
mines similar, but it was pelvis and hip sockets, had an xray 5 or so years later for a broken femur and the radiologist asked how was the car accident I had, I ask wtf and then he showed the xrays and man it looked like a spiders web. I remember how it happened, I got hit from behind as I launched on some 70 odd foot triples and flat landed, I remember being too sore to sh*t or even walk but didnt think I broke any thing. I can so relate to the 50yo back description though.

New Xr6 Turbo Mkii
the thing has a warranty dosen't it? 4000 rpm? wtf. At 23k's my ute had hit the limiter in 1st and 2nd. Do as the sticker say's Drive it like you stole it. I've had a lot of warmed cars and been racing bikes all my life and the best, most reliable ones are the ones I abuse from word go. Go for it have some fun.

Most Economical Tyres?
Alrighty, ill elaborate! Yes, sitting still they look fantastic, buty once they are rotating, they seem to forget exactly why they are there in the first place. You want grip? Better look past Falkens! But I treat my tyres like hell, burnouts, powerskids etc and they seem to be handling the punishment well. Seem to be quick at making smoke too.... And wet weather grip is the same as dry weather drip, non existant. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> dam it just put a set of 265's on the yoot and your right they light up at about 60kph the old toyo's even when they were bald had HEAPS more grip.

Rwd Rexy!?
where was this filmed, I cant make out his plates, I just got back from NZ and these wrx's are as cheap as chips (seen them advertised for $4500) so prob not that expensive to fix. That said the wa*ker should have pulled up when the other car was there so sucked in from me.
