  1. One of my best mates did this little doozy when he was pulled over about 2 years ago. (NOTE: I don't condone his behaviour at all - I'm just telling the story) My mate is driving along with two other people in the car - he is high on weed at the time... Sees an RBT down the road and the police motion for him to pull in. So he does Cop comes up to the window, says: "Hello, blah, blah, have you been drinking tonight...? Mate: "No sir" Cop: "OK" Puts my mate on the bag, he doesn't blow over because he wasn't drinking Cop: "You are free to go now sir" It was at this point the story gets weird, or hilarious, whichever way you look at it... My mate, leans down, takes his shoe off, and hands it to the cop out the window of his car... Cop: "What are you doing" Mate: "Giving you my shoe" Cop: "uh, why?" Mate: "Didn’t you just say - give me your shoe?" Cop: "No, I said you are free to go!" Mate: "Oh right, sorry, I thought you said, give me your shoe" At this point the two other people in the car lose their collective shyte and piss themselves laughing. The cop has a blank and confuzled look on his face, and my mate very hurriedly gets the hell out of there. He was a very lucky boy to get away with that one!
  2. If you are looking at going for a bigger cooler then you will require a small amount of cutting - no way to get around it. I fitted my Plazmaman 800hp kit and there was some minor grinding involved. I mean taking like 1-2cm worth of metal off the front support and bending the air-cond lines out of the way - that's all. The rest was a true bolt in jobbie, which is very rare!! I was NOT keen at all on doing any cutting and minimal "permanent" modifications to the car and this kit was very good for that. As I said, it is inevitable that some cutting is required as a bigger cooler, just 'aint gunna fit into the hole ford provided. I did a detailed write up on it ages ago with piccy's and stuff - which was in the Plazmaman sub-section or the forum, but that is now gone. The mods might be able to dig it up for you. Also, depending on what the guys from Plazmaman are doing these days, I actually wrote their instruction manual they were giving out to people who were interested in fitting the 800 kit at home. Not sure if they still use it or not.
  3. ^ My mate currently has an RS4 wagon V6 TT with mods. Runs 324 awkw and sounds angry as! I am yet to go for a spin in it actually but I can't wait! I would have a Westfield or Caterham with a turbo Hayabusa motor in it. Fit some massive brakes and tyres and there wouldn't be much out there that would touch it in a straight line or around the corners. For shytes and giggles, someday I plan to put a 2JZ/GT42 combo into a Toyota Corona wagon and make it sleeper spec. Throw in a powerglide, KAZ locker and some widened stock rims and terrorise the locals!
  4. True, but usually its too late by the time you notice it. Everyone down here drives around looking out for them. So if there is ever a van or something similar broken down or parked on the side of the road, every man and his dog starts slamming the brakes on! Then you drive past and find out it is only some plumber talking on his mobile phone!
  5. They are all manned (by big fat public servants who sit there a read the paper all day) and they all have security cameras on the outside of them, as there was a speight of attacks on the vans down here and the operators feared for their safety. People would drive past and chuck things out the windows of their moving cars and hit the vans. One van even had some dudes unleash on it with a BB gun and smash all the windows! Another one had a dude get out with a baseball bat, smash the window and try and break the camera and the operator! It calmed down in the last few years but. Wonder if NSW will go through a phase of people smashing them up. Hope so...
  6. Yup, we have had them here for years! I'm surprised it has taken NSW this long to get them. Nothing beats that buttphucked moment when you're going too quick and you zoom by one, parked on the side of the road. You then have to nervously wait by your letter box for the next couple of weeks hoping by some act of god, that in that split second, a bird has flown in front of your number plate in the photo and they can't make it out!!
  7. Rookie maneuver... I will make up for it by posting some crazy Dodge Viper. The ACR-X is a non-street legal race car that produce 640hp. This gives the ACR-X an additional 40hp over the stock 8.4-liter V10. In addition it weighs 160 pounds less and has a track tuned suspension set up.
  8. Zonda R's time of 6:47 at Nürburgring's tops Ferrari 599XX time of 6:58. For a mere $1.8 million, you too can try and get this 739 hp bad boy around Germany' s famous Nürburgring.
  9. Unquestionably the best and most important band in history, as well as the most compelling story. Almost miraculously, they embodied the apex of the form artistically, commercially, culturally and spiritually at just the right time, the tumultuous '90s, when music had the power to literally change the world....
  10. A guy I know from here has an R34 GTR with RH9 number plates. Not 100% sure if it will run a 9 on street tyres but. That same year at autosalon my mates Skyline made 996awhp and it will easy run a 10 on street tyres before he gets booted for no cage. I dare say we will never get there with the falcons but. Its the AWD that does it.
  11. Snuff Box - probably the strangest show ever! Good for a laugh but VERY weird!!
  12. Totally agree Dillz - iTunes is farken shytehouse and I wouldn't pi$$ on it if it was on fire. Same goes with WMP. I use Winamp on Windows 7 with great success here at work. It is the best of the free versions by far! But what about Windows Media Center if you have W7? It's the boss! (only on Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate, and Enterprise but) It will automatically go get album art and all that jazz - even for non-mainstream stuff. It is also organised really well, lets you choose to do it by album or artist or whatever you want. Plus, it does all the rest of your media stuff like movies and TV too. And it's pretty!
  13. I don't see all the fuss. They are useless! They are too big to be a PDA type device (they don't even make calls, farkin) They are too small and don't have the features to be a laptop replacement. They are a glorified iPod that doesn’t fit in your pocket!! Why the fark would anyone buy one? Like all Apple products they are marketed at people who think it’s hip to have one. Never mind about functionality, technology or ease of use. Anyone who actually knows what they are talking about, steers clear of the gimmick’s Apple produces in favour of something that actually works well. Latte sippers and Arts students will buy them by the boat load because it’s cool to own one not because they are actually useful. P.S - everyone is on about their "fantistic" ability to read eBooks!!! Since when has there been a new found craze of reading farking eBooks?? Its like Apple thinks they have just developed this new fandangled technology called eBooks! They have been around for years and the general populace has never bothered with them, now this thing is out, are you going to tell me that thousands of people are going to start reading eBooks all of a sudden? Give me a break!! eBooks - new Apple marketing buzz word much?
  14. Im currently driving an early 90's Pulsar with a set of these bad boys on it!! It has a 10" sub and aftermarket 6 stacker in the back as well! It was the coolest car in the world back in the early 90's!!! Makes me laugh now! 15" PCW Tri-Spokes
  15. I'm turning over a new leaf I’ve decided not to make any jokes about the unfortunate passing of Adriana Xenides. It would be – _n_ppr_pr_t_
  16. It was a launch - doesn't matter if you sugar coat it. You dialled up 3 grand and let her go. It has absolutely nothing to do with a "fully sick" launch as you put it. It is all about motor/oil pump gears/CV's/clutch/diff and drive shaft preservation. If you go around giving it massive hits with TC on and the car is franticly trying to stop the wheels spinning (when it can't) it puts massive un-needed pressure on every component including the clutch! It’s one of the worst things you can do to your car, and the motor especially. And with 250 odd rwkw, I’d be fairly confident that you could get up to speed with flowing traffic without a 3k launch... I'm sure MW will be understanding when you tell him that you did a 3k launch with TC turned on, and the clutch started to slip....
  17. A woman goes to the doctor, beaten black and Blue. Doctor: "What happened?" Woman: "Doctor, I don't know what to do. Every time my husband comes home drunk he beats me to a pulp." Doctor: "I have a real good medicine for that. When your husband comes home drunk, just take a glass of sweet tea and start swishing it in your mouth. Just swish and swish but don't swallow until he goes to bed and is asleep." Two weeks later the woman comes back to the doctor looking fresh and reborn. Woman: "Doctor, that was a brilliant idea! Every time my husband came home drunk, I swished with sweet tea. I swished and swished, and he didn't touch me!" Doctor: "Well that is great, You see now how much keeping your mouth shut helps?"
  18. What a fuking load of sh|t! Let’s take the Parkway for instance since that is one of the locations outlined for these new devices. From the lights at Sulwood/Drakeford to the Glenloch Intg is 11.4km, the speed limit is 100km/h for 97% of that journey. There is already two fixed speed camera's along that route and there is quite regularly police doing speed checks along there and mobile speed vans set up nearly every day. Now they want to add YET another fixed speeding device there. Why? I travel this road multiple times every single day and the other day on the way to work I counted: the two fixed speed cameras, one mobile speed van, one policeman on a bike with a radar and one pursuit car with a radar, all parked on the side of the road - all in 11.4km... That means that big brother was checking our speed every 2.2km. What I want to see is some stats of the crashes that have happened on the Parkway between cars travelling at between say 80km/h & 100km/h. Do they actually expect us to believe that keeping everyone at or below a regimented 100km/h is going to reduce the amount of crashes? fuking bullsh|t!! The vast majority of crashes that happen are rear-enders in traffic!! You don't rear-end someone at 100km/h! Tailgating is what cause all the crashes on the Parkway. The last crash that happened at a decent speed was about two years ago! (I was a few cars behind it all) And even then, the cars weren't doing more than 100! The only possible way I could see these devices reducing the road toll, was if we had regular fatalities at or over 100km/h. Otherwise it is a blatant cash grab. Do they think they can actually achieve a zero road toll? What the I <3 Bananas goes on inside these people’s heads? With that little amount of brains how haven't they killed themselves making toast in the mornings? People with even half a brain will say it time and time again. The ONLY way to reduce the road toll is driver education and more importantly - training. They adopted this bullsh|t "vision zero" from the Sweeds. They forgot to take into account that in Sweden before you even get your L's you need to complete an "advanced" driver course that deals with car control, skids, correction, etc, etc – then another one to get your P’s - plus constant testing every 5 years. The Sweeds and Europeans in general are some of the best drivers on the planet thanks to their training. Take a look at the fuking muppets on the roads over here. So at 15 & 9 months (ACT) you do a written test and they set you free on the road! WTF?? Then you get your fuking Mum, who can’t drive a greasy stick up a dog’s ass anyway, to “teach” you how to “drive” for a year or so, do a 30 min lap of the suburbs with some other muppet public servant and he gives you a licence to be “in control” of a 1800kg ball of steel travelling at 100km/h?? WTF?? That’s a scary thought! I’ll hop off my soap box now and go back to the corner. I don’t blame you if you didn’t bother reading my ranting, but I needed to vent!
  19. Both gearboxes are rubbish in the Mk1 for a start and they ironed out a quite a few issues for the Mk2. You can have my car for 23,000 Its on carsales.
