I will be REALLY PISSED if they send back a new system. I bought the original 60gb for the extra features which are all gone now. They will be getting a very nasty surprise if they try and replace it with a 40gb, that I promise. Even if it is a 80gb they better look out. I was smart enough to get a USB stick though and copy ALL my information from game saves to photo's etc etc.

My ps3 has just had the same problem. playing cod WAW, froze on a loading screen, won't load any games, etc etc. purchased from Hardly Normal, took it back in today and they are sending it off for repairs. Thankfully I bought the 48month extended warranty so "should" come back all sweet. just means I'm without my ps3 for 1-5 weeks ! Out of curiousity, did you get a fault code come up on the screen? I did so I googled it, all leads led to the blue ray drive. AND, How did you end up with yours, did it get fixed???

just did it, scarily I thought I was looking at a photo of my uncle (dad's bro) Hmm, wonder if there is something my family isn't telling me???

no I didn't notice the sunnies, I was looking that high!

if you had of asked that yesterday (thursday) I could have taken a photo of a motor at work that is missing, 1/3rd of the block, 1/3rd of the crank, one piston and conrod, 2 conrods half missing, the input shaft of the gearbox, half of the bell housing & 1/2 of the sump. That is a mess! will try and take a photo of the block at least on monday for you. otherwise I have a WHOLE HEAP of photo's destroyed engine parts on my pc if you wanna see them

SH!T, would love to see video of that pass!

well the only way I can see to end this little discussion on standard or optional is to have the salesman himself sort it out for us!!! Ladies and Gentlemen................Please put your hands together for MR SENNA_T In my opinion though you are both correct but with slight variances. The 6 speed is standard on the XR's as an optional extra ever since what, the BA mkII, BUT Whether they are a no cost or an additional cost option is another story that could possibly come down to the dealer you go to! Me personally, I don't truely know as I bought mine s/h. EDIT>>> damn, I need to stop falling asleep half way through posting a reply!!!

What, you expect him to sell his T just to buy the a cosworth BDA? only really rich people are stupid enough to buy them! although if you are interested in a BDA motor, I can get you a contact in england who build competition spec motors ready to go, they start at $35,000. add shipping, insurance and import taxes before it is even fitted.

you want these boobies (sorry, couldn't get the full size image) I think these are what you are after!

I can only ask!

What???

haha, I just park in the street. really should go out there again shortly. have until marck to make 3 visits before I get the naughty letter asking why I haven't made my commitments.

haven't spotted one out my way in ages. basically all I am seeing is a few unmarked VE SS's. one red, one green, one that is sorta goldy, and one white.

My missus works for ZF australia. just asked her and she has heard nothing about ford discontinuing the 6spd.

seriously, they are in massive demand in the rallying fraternity because a lot of guys want to build BDA replica's. Hopefully the current owner doesn't know this!!!!!!!!! As for how much it is worth, take Pat's advice and pay as much as you can afford. By all means play the it stuffed card but don't let it go at all. I might love my Fiats but still get a buzz listening to the escorts when on song as well.

I did my long arm safety awareness at the pistol club at shalvey. I am a part of the SSAA, they have quite a few clubs around, the closest for me is the indoor range at St Mary's.

yes I have my long arm license. my reasons are target and hunting as have a few mates with properties. Only prob being is that since I bought the house, haven't had enough time to get to the range for target and definetly not enough money to go hunting so am getting in trouble for not enough attendances per year (taget=4 attendances, hunting=2 attendances). might have to try and scrap together time and $$$ and get off my butt me thinks. Oh and the fact that I don't have my own rifle doesn't help matters when I can get to the range, it means I have to borrow my bro-in-laws rifle.

told the missus about the crazy ass dude who left melb at 3:30am to drive to tamworth to pick up some pups. she shook her head until I showed her the pics and vid. woulda taken one myself if I had the room but my yard ain't big enough for one of those and a kelpie. even picked out the one I wanted! ^^^^^^^^ Good work boys for doing this, not often someone will drive so far for a relo, let alone a couple of dogs. true inspiration.

having just looked through the summernats thread, I would love to see that monaro/XR abomination crushed. as for what I want, got nothing I can think of so am going to hand it over to XRSics cause I pissed myself with his photo of a big cow!!! farking rosie!

that HK was just damn impressive! definetly the best I have ever seen. oh and here is a pic of your disgusting oyster.

about level with a Lancer I believe Dillz Great photo's tangcla. you got me stuffed on how you do some of the effects.

's about following stupid. yearly roadworthies are great, except there are still the odd person around that will pass a car that you average redneck deep in the usa would have doubts about driving!!!

the tyre profile is related to the width of the tyre, therefore a 235/40 series tyre will have a higher sidewall than a 215/40 tyre Based on that, depending on what size and profile tyres 03XR6T went from and to it would change the speedo more or less than someone else. and back on topic, my car is 9k's out at 110kph (showing 101 @ 110 on speedo). this is with the std 17's and standard tyre sizes.

nah, forget the 124 abarth, the 131 abarth is/was/always will be king in my books! BTW, the car in the vid is a genuine abarth that is still in the country.

I am going to be a no go for the karting, will be at wakefield the week before and low on cash and also have baseball on the 24th and that don't finish until 5:45 and would take me at least an hour to get to the track. However I will make my way over to say high to everyone as I live just around the corner, just don't count me in for any food or brown lemonade!
