why the vitriol, I thought you two were dateing?

how did I know you'd find that post Trent? You're like my Hiatus hernia, I still eat spicy foods but I know the next day I'm gona pay for it.

or...get an EVO 9. electric mirrors climate control AC (single zone) and electric windows. that's it. Yes it goes and handles like heck but If I'm going on a long drive? I'll take my V8 landcruiser thanks, auto box, cruise control ect ect...armchair on wheels. (they both use about the same in fuel and I swear the 100 has a tighter turning circle. Interestingly, the evo X managed to add all the niceties but keep the wieght down..... Anyways, I'm selling the EVO. I'm happy to wear the extra weight for the comforts. . . . . . I'm getting old, I'll use my 2350Kg daimler for a daily driver from now on. Screw "gas mileage" if it worries you that much, buy a toyota starlet and go join www.Imagaygreenpiecetosser.org

there's a silver commie here in Darwin, never book me, I just get got by the mobile camera's when I'm trying to get to a shop before it shuts. As for targeting young drivers....when I was much younger, the cops would follow me if they saw me and I'd get a visit to the courts ~ once a year, got done by unmarked cars a couple of times. If I saw my younger self on the roads today I'd probably shake my head and get out of the way, I was very foolish, as were most of my mates. the youth of today are no worse behaved than those of 20 years ago, yes the cars are faster, but they're a heap safer also. if you're a well behaved sub 25 male, you're in a minority I don't blame the cops for targeting young drivers at all, how many old women do you see street racing? Oh yeah, street racing is illegal, drag racing isn't, please don't use the terms interchangeably, unless you're after a job on today tonight......

Just ordered a new injector loom, boot seal and indicator grommets, plus brake pads for the handbrake.... It's actually quite astounding how many parts for this car you can get new / remanufactured.... ordered a set of 4 new tyres too....this one delaminated at ~130kph that woke me up.. N.B green coopers lid above boot, I used to go into the shed and "drink about it...." more coopers lids....lots of drinking about it it would seem....the dash pad in undamaged under that manky mat.. the boot after I took almost everything out, in unrestored Jags of this age, the boot is usually rotted out. the boxy thing to the extreme left bottom is the auto antenna, the fuel pump is to the right..the fuel runs from the guard tanks, (either side of the boot) 2 inches away from the rear muffler (resonator....whatever) and back into the boot. I found this out by dislodging the hose and soaking myself with stale fuel while trying to get the muffler free so that I could get at the handbrake caliper so that I could remove the brake caliper.....sigh.

Hmm... when 1 + 2 get too much off to the shed, then when 2+3 get too much, 1 + 2 don't seem so bad... Stop it you, I'm still in the enthusiastic phase, that'll end on it's own soon enough....

I'd suggest you might have it wrong it can't be worse than; getting married having children

In my shed resides a couple of 1970's beasties a daimler double six and a merc 280se... Having decided that it's time to actually do something about these homes for nesting spiders and breeding wasps, I opened the bonnet on the daimler and got busy... It sat there for ~ 4 years and wasn't running when I pushed it in. under the bonnet: So the epic journey begins, I fitted a battery and begun fault finding: 1:LH front outer headlight is the only one working 2:RH front indicator not working 3:brake lights not working 4:starter not engaging 5:Injector harness decayed 6: Oil leaks, various 7: wasps nests everywhere I found the starter circuit and found ants living in the relay, after I evicted them, the starter motor engaged and it started...then stopped. a lack of hum from the boot told me the fuel pump wasn't going, having had luck with the relays previously, I found the fuel pump relay, some fidgeting with it got it working. 20ltrs of premium in the left tank and this time if started and kept running, for a bit longer... I pulled the spark plugs, the front 8 were easy, the last 4 not so easy... same result rough running then a stall.. I pulled the air filters to see if they were blocked and found the engine temp sensor was off.. OK plug it in and try again. started first crank and kept going! A bit rough though, musnt be running all cylinders.. A quick drive around the block and yeah, no brakes (or very little brakes anyways) I'll keep u all updated if people are interested... The rear calipers were a BIATCH to remove, the first side took me 4 hours..... Can you belive step 1 was to disconnect the exhaust from the down pipes at the front of the car? I came out from under the thing black as the ace of spades... the exhaust is a fascinating piece of brittish engineering it runs tucked up nice and tight to the floor, with fuel lines right next to it, then weaves in around and out of the IRS, with millimeters to spare passing the brake calipers then into rear mufflers tucked up next to the fuel tanks in a little recess designed to heat anything you put in the boot.... Some specs on the Daimler: 5.3 ltr SOHC V12, 215Kw, 425Nm Bosch electronic injection, 3speed Auto. IRS with LSD, inboard disks. Climate control AC and electric windows. top speed ~ 230kph. Gross weight 2350 kg 205/70/15 tyres (you wouldn't believe how hard it is to get tyres that have BOTH the load rating and the speed rating to suit this car)

how many sheep could you get for 7.8 mil?

I hate everyone at the airport: Farkers that don't realize an airliners luggage compartment is underneath the floor, not above thier heads. they come onto the plane with two or three pieces of carry on luggage then hold up the whole boarding as they stumble up and down the ailse banging thier cr@p into already seated passengers while they look for somewhere to jam thier bags. retards who crowd around the baggage carousel, BEFORE it's even stared moving, then block access for people who actually have bags that are unloaded already goin' round and round.... FFS people, if everyone stands back, you'll get a good view of your bags as they come out and you can step forward when they do, grab 'em and go. no pushing, no shoving. and getting a seat next to someone fat getting a seat next to someone who stinks getting an aisle seat next to someone with weak bladder getting a seat next to some dumb bogan who has finally saved up enough points for his first ever flight getting a seat next to someone who thinks an airliner is an airborne pub. getting seat behind a selfish B who plonks his / her seat into recline ASAP getting a seat infront of a person who is constantly fiddling around in the seat back pocket F'n Jetstar and F'n Virgin. No I don't want to buy a $7.50 anzac biscuit or Richard Bransons Autobiography, and no I'm not going to change my mind so stop pestering me! secrurity checks; yes your little sniffer has picked up explosives, it's power gel and ANFO, yes I work on a mine, no I'm not a terrorist...... Bae146's with thier cruddy cabin pressurisation so at landing if you've got a cold, you can bust an eardrum. but most of all: Living in the supposed gateway to Asia and having ONLY one destination for an international flight from Darwin: Dili. To get anywhere OS from Darwin, Ya gotta fly to Brisbane or Sydney.

I'd much prefer a wasp to a spider.

Yeah but what with so many people and so many reasons, I thought it best to elucidate.

TAB, Stirring me about F'n Claire Martin and the loss of NT open limits.

Mate I saw just such a single mum who was in tassie PAYING OFF A HOUSE on the bennie's, complaining that she doesn't get enough money to treat herself..... now that shat me.

Can't remember the last night I didn't have a beer... or a Scotch...or a bottle of red...or all three.... There's not a feeling better in the world than the one you get at 3pm two days after a binge when the hangover is finally gone.

"Insert all kinds of Ridicule here" OK mate: You've become a F'n Queer! A CBR was a man's ride an Audi A4 ..mate, I'd hide Scotty was a biker-lad massive ride that man had once his feet were on the peggs now he's got nothing between his legs A big fast bike, he rode it hard now what's he got parked in his yard? an Audi A4 shirt-lifter's car my god this man has fallen far riding jacket, helmet, most of his kit sold on ebay to someone it fit but he's kept the leather chaps (They're black studded crotchless pants) so at the mardi gra he can dance Finally, he's impressed his mum given up his obsession, she thought so dumb he looks so good now in his car next you'll see him in a bra no more about tin-top drivers myopic vision he's one now with his decisioin. won't be long till he hears a rider's angy shout after he cuts him off at a round-a-bout So when you lay down to have a sleep, contemplate this : you've become just another sheep 4 wheel's Goood two wheels Baaaad George Orwell got it right, my little lad.

I got a lancer with a canon out the back and I reckon I would stand a chance..... Yeah, I had a Falcon once, yeah it was an xr6t and yeah I do know what I'm talking about....

If I were a sadist, Idve fed him to a cane toad.

They're called c**t ants, cause when they bite you you shout "C**T!"

Good thing I killed him then

Sitting here working away in peace and I feel this thing crawing around on the back of my neck..... he's not gonna do it again....

I'm waiting for the test results, but If I got it, It didn't kill me, better luck next time. As a matter of fact, I did pass through Brisbane airport. Little hint for you, if your at the Airport, don't use the Qantas club. (I wonder how bcl's going? He was in Denver after me)

Getting back from the USA and having the CDC shove swabs up my nose, take blood and make me wear a mask cause I got a cold.

Anybody Know of a 4-wheel Dyno in town? Thinking again about the 100 series and a supercharger.....
