Rather amusing I thought. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21890-wa-spotted-chit-chat-thread/page/3003/#findComment-1503196 Share on other sites More sharing options...

'90% of premature engine wear happens in the first 10mins of starting up' or something along the lines of that?All good anyways...yesterday warmed up for 1 minute, and then drove normal and realised it gets up to tempt way faster than idle start up....so thanks Luke lol Does that mean we are all working an extra month every year while PTR fags on?Sucked in suckers!!!!! lol ..... not really...it just means I lose an extra month of my life Actually wait; I just did the math and I don't see where you guys are coming up with "one month".Here's my year 8 maths skills: 10min x 6 x 52 x 4 = 12,480mins --> 12480/60mins = 208hours --> 208/24hours = 8.666 days Last time I checked 8.66 days does not equal 30 or 31 days in the month??? or am I missing something here.... Also for those of us that like to rub clean their shiny chrome rolled exhaust tips every time they get home, and by 'shiny chrome rolled exhaust tips' - I mean my willy It's the little things...OCD much? He works out of the DIY Garage in Mandaurah.Pretty good prices for 'roof only' - although not sure on the quality of wrap used cause only pic I saw was VT/VX commonwhore with kind of matt black roof (and that looked a bit funky - probably cause old car).... I noticed the full car wraps "from $2000", so I wasn't far off with my estimates lol Edited 02/10/14 01:47 AM by PTR_NITRO_FG Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21890-wa-spotted-chit-chat-thread/page/3003/#findComment-1503205 Share on other sites More sharing options...
