Classic.

can't wait that long. can't you find portents of doom for 2008?

Would it be in thier interest to to panic a market? Oil is running out, better start looking for alteratives! cause once we switch off oil, we'll never come back, they know that. Geez, we've been here before... in the 40's then 70's ... now the 00's What do you think OPEC do? get together over tea and scones or decide how to get even richer? supply and demand works fine, untill the supplier has a monopoly, that's what we're talking about here. I thought we'd agreed that Oil IS a renewable resource, timeframes aside may as well say solar energy is not renewable because the sun is consumeing Hydrogen to release energy and helium and as you state, nothing is infinte.... Head in the sand is a good place to be, for under the sand remains huge reserves of Oil. :banghead: P.S I am actually a Scientist, specifically a geological resource scientist and I don't agree. (Also I can assure you, a lot of others in my field dont agree either, it's just not as newsworthy as panic stations.) Anyways, didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm certainly not offended... I've just derived a differing conclusion through the examination of the facts. happy to agree to disagree and move on, no hard feelings! and yep, I pretty much think fuel will never ever run out, it'll just get more expensive.

I don't quite understand where you are coming from..Supplies are derived by mining reserves, reserves increase as prices increase. The increase in reserves is exponential, there are far more currently sub-economic Oil supplies available than most people realize. A 20% hike in cost per barrel = more than a 20% increase in reserves. There are vast supplies of Oil shale in Aust for example that become economic at ~$120 a barrel. Iron is a good example, following the recent price hikes, the required head grade (expressed as a percentage Fe) has dropped, new Iron mines are opening all over the place as the higher price support the more costly extraction and refining. Gold is another example a goldprice of $1000 an ounce has seen mining of deposits down to 0.8 g/t open pit become economic even then there's less that 4 years of the world consumption of gold available in reserves but you don't hear anyone screaming of the looming gold crisis. It's in the interest of the oil multi-nationals to invoke this fear that we're running short, it justifies higher oil prices. Nope, we're no-where near running out of oil. Yes it takes millions of years to form Oil supplies, but to say that it will take millions of years from today is incorrect. The process is a continuous one. It never stopped. Don't buy into the fear campaign, a few tweaks here and there and you can run your car on LPG, OK it has half the calorific content of Petrol but you can make much more power from lpg due to it's inherently higher octane rating. You'll just need bigger tanks. There will always be oil available for those who can pay for it, it's the third world countries who can't afford the increased costs who'll suffer first. Heck I don't like high fuel costs but realistically, a 20c per ltr price hike is only $26 bucks more to fill my 100 series, unpleasant, but not a tragedy...(We're already paying up to 1.70 ltr in the outer towns near Darwin) You will always be able to get oil, it's just going to cost more.

Ya can fit more sheep in a Ute than a sedan. Honestly, who'd buy a black car if they lived in the north of Australia?

They're quick. Sat behind a SRT8 sedan in the EVO, probably could have got the jump on him at the start, but I wasn't reeling him in following. I thought about one when I got the EVO, sounded like fun but visited the SRT forums and the people who'd traded their T's and GT were all commenting on the boat-like handelling.

I'm with you there... But if anything can be said for the effect of such a protest it's that it truly shows what a bunch of wingnuts they are....

Oh god. nicely done sir.

No No No My fault, my appologies, We had a member who...... phrases his posts similar to yours. WELCOME ABOARD!! Nice looking ride.

:oohwoah:

No, you're wrong. Firstly, I'll take your Cleopatra's p1ss and raise you an oil deposit: Atleast some of The Co2 in Your exhaust is being absorbed into the ocean, where little single celled critters combine it with the energy from the sun to grow and reproduce, when they die, they sink to the sea floor and just occasionally, get incorporated into strata forming on the sea floor amenable to Oil formation. There is, even as we speak, new oil deposits forming on the sea floor, it may take a long time, but the formation of oil is not something that happened only once in the earths history and, indeed, it's still happening today. Oil is actually a Bio fuel that originally got it's energy from the sun, how enviro-friendly and renewable do you want? Secondly: the term "Reserve" as in Oil Reserve is defined as an estimated quantity of a given mineral / element that can be ECONOMICALLY extracted, as the price rises, then the deposit can support extraction at a higher cost, eg pumping Co2 to pressurize the well or drilling deeper wells at greater expense. Perhaps the best example is the Albertan Oil sands, these were considered a large Oil deposit (uneconomic) until a few years ago when the price really rose, now they're mining them, the reserves there are massive at todays oil prices...

while the spider is doing the Fu.ck what's under me dance....

Is that you Dynowog??

Twit or twot perhaps a *beep*, English expressions such as that? you flame him, he flames thee then lock the thread for none to see perhaps in jest was TL posting Perhaps not and he was roasting.. A battle here cannot be won so may as well just have some fun of his post, take no offense naught can be gained by such defense. Frankly I love the ambiguity of our language, it's fun to play with.

I used to live in Kal and the Evap worked quite well, Get up on your roof and pull the filters that the water trickles down over, give them a really good clean, If you live anywhere near the superpit, they could be clogged up with dust. Also while your up there, run the unit and make sure water is trickling out the top channels, no water, no cool, a replacement pump is ~$150. These units really are robust and work very well in Kal, they're simple to fix yourself too. I'd hate to see what they'd charge you to fit a refrigerative unit. I blew a bearing in mine and one of the tradies wanted to rebuild my unit for $1200 I went to goldfields bearing supplies and got a bearing for $12.00 and replaced it... Unit worked fine for two more years. (probably still going...but I sold the house.)

from the situations I've seen, the ar$eholes are brimming with apparent self confidence, justified or not, some women love that sh1t. Dig deep enough and there's a reason someone is an ar$ehole, often related to feelings of inadequacy concealed by an overconfident facade. Whatever happened to Blonk anyway?

if oil ere woth $6 a liter it would be economic to synethically synthasise it! What BS as the oil price climbs, oil resorces convert to reserves and we have millions more barrels available. rationing. pffft as long as there is demand, there will be supply.. the cost may go up, but rationing won't do squat to help keep the price down.

a Spit is a big ask... Flew a wingeel out of Kalgoorlie once, (Hardly a warbird...) took the tail number and turned out my old man had flow the exact one in the RAAF 30 years earlier...Old mate would take anyone up for $50.

Saturday is a goer for me, Just got see a bloke about some roof racks...... Oh Yeah, Smylie, I can't handle the f'n outlaws either, thank all that is holy, they're gone... and so is my beer, scotch and a goodly chunk of my red wine. I'm disabling the A/C's in guest room next time. and they think I'd like to move to Perth next door to them? They're MAD.

Spanish Mackerel just don't get the same press support for some reason.

Nah, seriously, Jet's boo boo is better. no need to keep posting in here... over and over again... and again.... and again.....

a couple of F111's and some 500 pounders should do the trick.....

nice try, but Jet still pips him at the post.

Right-o- I'll check work but I'll try to make it on the 19th

Nah. now that I'm engaged I've been edumacastrated...the beers got moved out of the engle to be replaced by essentials....prawns, catfood and mince meat. had to drink scotch instead.
