What am I missing here....... One thing to watch on Ebay is the date of manufacture.... a lot of people tend to get rid of there old stock online.....

Sorry to hear it mate.... Try the Touch-up guys, you'd be surprised at what they can do... That looks very low on the door....why would somebody bend down that low to key a car? Just doesn't make sense to me

Last night I went to see Top Gear at the Acer Arena in Sydney. Despite the crappy weather that took the gloss off many of the outdoor displays we took our seats inside to see what Clarkson and Co. had to offer.. So in the absence of Richard Hammond, who do they trot out as guest presenter??? None other than the Greg "The Handbag" Murphy.....(first negative impression for the night) I'm thinking "great" now Ive got to listen to this stroker with his annoyingly squeaky voice talking up the Expensive Daewoo for the night while surrounded by a horde of dark side supporters.... Clarkson and May did their usual by throwing barbs at one another while parading a host of exotics that most of us will never own anyway....before the handbag brings out a V8 Expensive Daewoo ute that he reckoned was better than all of them.....go figure A couple of stunt driving sequences with obviously purposely built vehicles that looked like they were just following a routine done many times over....abeit, with a fancy light show and some pyrotechics to make it look better... although, some of the "precision parking manouveres" were worthy of merit.. The Stig came out briefly to shoot up some "bad guys" in a car wars sort of deal then did a loop the loop in a pretty tame looking wall of death contraption they had set up....yeah right The show went for only about an hour and a half...should I have expected more for the $130 ticket? I'm a car nut fair enough....but for similar money, I could have bought a ticket for a rock concert that I probably would have enjoyed even more.

Sounds like a plan mate.....can you PM me your Mob.no. and we can organise time and place ok....

Hey Pat... Bear in mind that we'll be at Raleigh Kart track on Sunday so dont expect to find us at the resort ok.... If you can't catch up, give me a cal or text me on 0411 183291 Look forward to catching up mate

A thousand bucks buys a fair bit of labour mate.....for that sort of money, I'd be expecting him to supply the parts as well.... Has he done many XR6's?? Have you spoken to anybody else who's had work done by him? And what does he expect in return? Hope your not gonna' end up with skinned knees or stretch marks

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage... I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 kph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.' My loving wife of 10 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?' And that's when the fight started...

Yeah, Ive seen a couple around too.....makes me cring every time I see it I even saw a car in Woolongong the other day with...." I'm an Albion Park bogan and proud of it" sticker on the side of it!!!! Honestly...why on Earth would anybody want to admit to that FFS??

Even primitive man learned to move stuff using logs etc...... The Aborigines hadn't even got to that stage until Europeans arrived.....

I agree, considering that before we arrived here, they were so far behind... They hadn't even discovered the wheel...

Yeah, I reckon around the 300 mark is ok for a daily drive..... Ive only got 280odd kws now and with the addition of a decent fuel pump and a cat, my tuner says he'll get 300+ and still be safe....suits me Just enough to give those clubsports some stick

They can't drive them on red P's but can on green P's.....stupid isn't it I am of the belief that "any" P plater shouldn't be driving a performance car. And before ENVI.BA gets off his bike..... Whilst a small percentage may display the maturity/experience to stay out of trouble.....the vast majority are just crashes looking for a place to happen.

Jeeesus.... all the hoo-haa just starts to settle down after the multiple fatalities in Victoria a couple of weeks back.....and now this... The way things are looking, the cops will have a bounty on anyone driving an XR6.....

Thanks.....I found it on another forum and figured the members here might like to have a read as well.... There are times when I'm sure we could drown in our own "tolerance"... if you get my meaning

To the Americans who think they are in a position to call us racist from across an ocean, P*SS OFF. Australian comedy and advertising is for Australian consumption and if it doesn’t make any reference to America, tough for you. Just remember, you gave the world 2 George Bush’s and the KKK. If you don’t like our version of comedy, P*SS OFF. To the Indians who don’t like the speed of police investigations, P*SS OFF. You get the same treatment as everybody else. Australians in general don’t condone violence against others. India can’t guarantee security within its own borders, so you are in no position to judge us. If you don’t like that, P*SS OFF. To the Japanese who are killing whales in Australian waters, P*SS OFF. This is not scientific research. Go kill whales in your own waters. And if you don’t like the fact that we will send protestors to harass you at every turn, P*SS OFF. To Sri Lankans who are coming over here on the never ending stream of boats, P*SS OFF. This country is happy to accept legitimate refugees, but if you can afford 15 grand to pay people smugglers and bypass a dozen other countries, don’t expect to be welcomed with open arms. There is a legitimate refugee system and there are other more deserving people waiting in refugee camps. If you can’t stand to wait in line like the others using the system legitimately, P*SS OFF. To the Croatians and Serbians who want to come to this country and bring your politics with you, P*SS OFF. Your violence at soccer and tennis matches is a disgrace. Sure, you had lots of problems in your homeland. You came here for a better life. So leave the hatred and politics behind. We will welcome you, but if you bring your crap with you, we don’t want you. P*SS OFF. To the English who come over here and never stop complaining, P*SS OFF. We ceased being a convict colony over 100 years ago. We don’t want to hear how great the job market is in London, how cheap the houses are or how you don’t like the Australian climate. The solution is simple. If you think things are so much better in England, P*SS OFF. To any nationality that wants to come to this country. This is Australia. We have our own culture, language, way of dress and attitudes. We champion the fair go and will welcome people of all nationalities, languages and religions. We will embrace you and enjoy sharing your culture. We will welcome you to our neighbourhoods. But if you want to change us, P*SS OFF. If you want to live in your own little enclaves and not integrate, P*SS OFF. And if you don’t even live in this country and want to complain about the way we do business, P*SS RIGHT OFF. Get your own country in order before you even try and judge us. I’m bloody Australian and proud of it. And if you don’t like that, P*SS OFF.

Great idea ......and top looking ride Rob..... Looking forward to catching up with the guys one night soon mate....

Mmmm...now you got me thinking....what possible punishment could we give to a forum member who commits such an act of automotive bastardry?? Being a believer in good old-fashioned justice I'd suggest the rest of the members consider something from the following.... 1 Bring back the stocks....all day Saturday, right in the middle of the mall. With a bucket of overipe tomatoes off to one side. 2 A public flogging....we could charge admission for the Xmas party. 3 Being handcuffed to Tab for a whole week. 4 " Oh! what a feeling" tattooed across the forehead. 5 Six strokes across the willy with a wet shoelace. 6 Or all of the above.. Any other suggestions welcome....

Suicide bombings are soon going to a thing of the past anyway...... And we can all thank Susan Boyle for it.... From what I hear, since the potential bombers have now seen what a virgin looks like....there not so keen on going to paradise now

Watched the first two minutes and dismissed em' as f*ckwits..... What's with the fools trying to hold the cars during burnouts? And how about the fat guy playing starter....can't they afford a tree? Or are they trying to save power as well as track-prep? I'd hate to be the one trying to explain to the Coroner what happened after one of these fools kills himself.... These are the sort of tools who give Yanks a bad name..... NSW ANDRA Steward No. 27

You'd think they could at least throw a gearbox in it....

I could say something....but I won't.
