Need Help
Mate, go the GT, after 7 years driving the BA GT, slightly modded, then driving the 'Dog' for a month, would not hesitate to recommend the GT. $1400 for a tune and tuner and you will have a respectful 540rwhp, no problems. Got my GT with leather, mats and stripes (the stripes on the 335 FG look great) was $63,000 drive away, ex demo with 700kms on the clock.

Finally Arrived! Fpv Gt 335 In White!
Nice one mate. Must admit looks nice in white, saw a GS at my dealers in white and left me cold but the GT looks great. Mate, do yourself a favour and get the Manta cat back system much better note, I have heard both and am getting the Manta system on mine (one more sleep and it's in me garage yippeee!!!) Enjoy your ride.

Movie Reviews
Took EiD to see 'PAUL' the other day, bloody brilliant, if you are into the pop culture of UFO''s, science fiction etc; you will love it. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do a superb job of moulding every reference they can of the culture into the plot and add heaps of humour as well. Paul is the coolest alien ever, loved the character. Heaps of cameo's keep an ear out for Stephen Speilberg's voice and the best cameo is of the dame of si-fi herself, excellent. The special effects to produce Paul are so real, very believable. This will definately end up in my blu-ray collection.

Gt 355 Evaluation
Hi Rick, Nah not yet but pick it up on May 2nd as this one is being leased and buggered if I'm paying for a whole month and only enjoying the beast for 10 days. I know the sound system is not a top of the range B&W system but bloody awesome compared to the BA's, yeah, Lanes let me drive a GS ute with the manta cat back system on it and the note was heaps better, quieter than the BA but good enough, and more subtle. Noticed Simon got a 330rwkw out of a stock Fg with no tune so the prospects are very promising. Drop us an email when you are back in the West and we can get together for a java or two.

Gt 355 Evaluation
Hey Rick, sorry mate the note is, wellll,..... average. Definately needs a Manta system. Handling in the Mystic 335 I drove (and leasing) was bloody brilliant, showed 'Slugboy' how a smart driver drives, he liked cruising through Dwellingup too. Can't wait to get it to Simon's too.

Gt 335 Or F6
Boy Worm I hope your right!! As I have not yet got dyno figures for the 335 I am purely basing my assumption on the bumometer and put the extra 'pull' down to the supercharger, but the feel of the power from the 'hawk felt nearly as good (top end) as the 335. Anyhow, the good news is I pick up the 335 on the 2nd May, and I cannot wait.!! And yeah guys I will definately post some pics, and get it dynoed as soon as the Manta exhaust is on.

Gt 335 Or F6
Yeah, but it took an email to Chris to get me started, good to be back though.

Gt 335 Or F6
Hi guys, Yeah, have dusted off the user ID and cleaned up my profile, jeezus there was a lot of dust and cobwebs in it, and thanks to the slobs who left their empty beer cans everywhere (felt like I was a member of the Crackatinni tribe). The tequila bottles (empty of course) were a bloody heart break....swines!! OK, I suppose you young'ns are wondering who the hell is this guy?? Just one of the founding members, although I copped a pounding for selling my BA xr6turbo (had to hand my HgAg thong back and all) and buying a GT, and I still have the Redhawk, but only just, got a 335kW Expensive Daewoo killing, awesome, scr*tum tingling, sexy, nipple hardening Coyote sitting in my Ford dealers workshop just waiting for the lease approval paperwork to be approved. The car was loaned to me last Monday for two days, see, be loyal to your dealer and they will look after you, that's not to say we didn't have our disagreements over the years, but it is a 'happy marriage' of sorts. Anyhow I digress, the car is Mystic (only 2 in the whole of wawa land, hi Rick) leather trim (yeah the suede is pretty snazzy), stripes and tint. So, you ask how was the two days...........bloody fantastic!!!! OK, a little history of the Redhawk, my BA GT has a FW output of 400hp, Xtreme clutch, pacemaker tri-y's hiflow cats (200cpi), CAPA custom tune and the other stuff on my signature, and looks stock, goes and sounds great, and all naturally aspirated. So pick up the FG and drive out of the yard, turn onto the main road and take off, the power is just........there, from scratch, just a comfortable tug from the back of the boot somewhere, and just doesn't stop, wow this has promise says I, look across to EID (Er InDoors)and I can see the blood flowing from her tear ducts and a look on her face that says 'you slam this thing into 2nd and the dog gets your family jewels for tea!!' So, ease back a tad and sedately drive out of town. First impressions, yep this is more than worthy of taking the Redhawk's place in the garage no problem, noting that the 'hawk does put out a tad more power, but the supercharger makes soooooo much difference. The note, to tell you the truth was a bit disappointing, after what I am used to, but nothing a Manta cat back will fix, again will not be as throaty as the Redhawk but my lovely New Car Sales Manager let me take a GS ute with the dealer fitted Manta exhaust for a quick blatt and yep, it will do nicely. Spend Monday night playing with the settings on the HID and am blown away by the sound system and all the other gizmos within the HID. Tuesday, EID is at work, right, says I to 'Slugboy' (if you have an 18 year old uni student who lives in his room like a Troglodyte glued to his computer and saving the free world from all sorts of nasties, terrestrial and extraterrestrial, you will know what I mean), lets go!!! Off to the Stirling Ranges and a nice windy mining road I know (yeah Rick you know the one) Unbelievable how this car handles and goes, the short shifter manual is so much fun, the handling was far better than the 'hawk, all in all a fantastic pleasure to drive. Got home and both the lad and me had boners a pit bull couldn't chew. Yeah, did not want to give it back, but the drive home in the 'hawk was interesting as the power was there but sluggish compared to the coyote motor. Definitely a major improvement to the Ford stable and I cannot wait to take ownership of it. Simon at Xtreme Ford Tuning will be getting a visit from me soon. Roll on the FPV track day at Barbagello's

Hypnodoc On Telly
Don't know about youse blokes over East but he is on A Current Affair tonight (Wednesday 12th April 2006) here in WA. He did tell me though Today Tonight were going to run a similar story but they were doing the 'debunking slant' on it, to which he politely told them to 'go forth and multiply'. I think it's to do with cancer patients or something?

Test Drive A New Golf Gti
Good concept, car left me ............cold. Would be interesting to see what the Aussie chick would look like and be dressed in to get the punters interested in a Typhoon or GT. If Expensive Daewoo did it you can bet London to a brick it would be a bogan with the baseball cap on back to front and all he could talk about was the doof-doof factor......."f'ckn A man!!!"

If You Had To Spend A Million On Your T
Well.......as I don't own a 'T' it kinda leaves the field wide open eh? So..... $250,000 in Image Resources shares, some Woodside shares, then worry myself sick watching their performance. So....to calm me down spend the rest on a boutique brewery in the Margaret River reigon
