Im sorry I said it to pashen and I will say it to you that back bar just doesnt work for me it looks far too much like a commonwhore Top car love the wheels

I am gonna go for the F6 front bar, bulge and spoiler simply its what the T should have come with and it ticks me off the you have to pay extra for the styling the car should have had initially. I personaly cant justify the 65k for a phoon, sure they look magnificent but stretching the budget to that for the sake of the extra bits of body parts is just wrong in my opinion. After that a conservative edit and I am happy. As for GT stripes and F6 side skirts they are nice but not my personal taste.

My bro has a 2000ish Magna VRX and I must agree with him that the wheels look suspiciously similar but has dark spokes in between the silver 5 spokes... Top marks though looks phat

Its getting to a ridiculous point now aint it, like that principal who wrote Merry Christmas on the cards to parents. Its so stupid some people have forgotten that its called Christmas for a reason, and though I wont push religious arguments here if we are taking a day off for it, have a tree, buy presents and the like you got to remember why we celebrate it. If people dont agree then simply dont recognise it, go to work on the day and dont partake in any of the traditional acts of the season, if people dont want to accept the reason for christmas dont accept the good things that come with it !

Rob you better believe Im gonna be bugging you for advice when my baby turns up, and where on earth you get a dealer willing to cover it all. I wont go as crazy as you perhaps but a reliable around 12sec 280kw ish T with a little rice will be my goal. PS Did you sell your ROH Furries ?!? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its a good mate of mine who is the Service Manager down at a local Ford dealer So when is your baby turning up? hope soon! Yeah sold the furries to a mate. Rob... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wouldnt have minded the furries ... Popular one for the Ts... Im in the process of barganing him down It looks like a 05 T man 6 Prem sound, Prem brakes, Sunroof, Shockwave, 18k on clock. Im trying to see if I can go 28k .. that I can do comfortably, he wants 34... Ive got some others similar kind of specs but I want this one, I have the ok from the banker (mrs) so I have been looking seriously! Hopefully I can make him snap and see it my way I was checking HPf site and their 1st kit will do ... I wonder how much to go after from kit 1 to 2 ?

I will be modifying mine when in gets here 1. Cause I need a little more noise from the BOV 2. Because I dont want to put thoses 330kw+ decals on the bulge just for show 3. Its important to be clear of all crap out of the lights in an intersection Am scared because... 1. Warranty will be hard to keep fighting it 2. My misses is gonna KILL me 3. Pay car, petrol, insurance and pay more for extra KW from a beast car as is 4. There are too many cops on the road If I go its gonna be for a max of 12sec T, relatively cheap and come on who needs more .... Check back with me after a little while

MMM interesting any for victoria ?

Agree one hundred percent. The whole thing is that it has to suit each person individually a Boxter is going to be useless for a guy with 3 kids for example. I think 0-100 and 1/4 mile times are important but so is practicality, cost, running costs and insurance, and the T trumps the Porsche in these areas plus you get the added bonus of parts not costing a million bucks, cheap servicing and not being paranoid evertime you park it (well not AS paranoid). And F6 UTE I wont hold my breath on the after sales thing, the top gear survey of 150 cars put a hell of a lot of Mercedes cars in the bottom of the list cause of the customer care as voted by the owners... You would be cussing if you got bad service and paid 100k plus

P roof O f R ich S poiled C hildren H aving E verything So I guess let em have it, I feel no loss, its slower, more expensive to buy, insure, run, you cant park it anywhere without wondering will it still be here when I come back, cant take your mates in comfort cause back seats are non existant, you get treated like a tosser and are NOT let in in traffic and you will look like a complete NOOB when you get owned by every sub 8 second car all for the happiness of having a Stutgart badge on the bonnet... And on top of it all you pay 100 K which you could be half way to paying a house for .... Think about it

the track looked familiar, from a V8 round but I couldnt pick which... anyone know ?

Guys I though I was the only one who saw it glad I wasnt That guy in the Bently I am pretty sure I have seen him in one top gear episode or another before they got the Braniac guy. It didnt feel quick on the screen the Hot lap, and when he overshot the second last corner that blew a second or two, burnout at the begining didnt help either, GET IT TO THE FLOOR DAMN IT !!! Anyway the show is a direct copy of Top gear which I guess means they know what the best is and they were trying to imitate... trying .... Funny how the guy with the SAAB goes, the engine is from the Late model camira six but lucky it doesnt feel like it Crack up

ahh sweet thanks man

My missues said something about a radio ad done like a wildlife documentary about the killing off of the Australian lion and the falcon winning three years in a row. I never listen to the radio anyone got a clip ? Thanks

mmmm ... It could happen but something tells me Nissan would have to lend em another engine al'a VL...

Tell em his dreaming <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know ... why do I see autos going for that with leather and sat nav also ! All I need is the manual in that set up !

Just had a look around at a few sites and for a MKII T in manual they are harder to get and more expensive too ... I would be happy for around 28k if it was 05 MKII T maual any blue, prem sound...

I hope your right mate .... it could be the start of something beautiful... I keep getting images in my head of something nuts on NOS or something going up against one and then chuking street tyres on and driving home... what would be their response ... Would be classic

some are gonna call me nuts but for me its the Typhoon, then XR6T, then Ferrari F355 F1 its all well and good and dont get me wrong the Ferrari is an absolute dream machine (Ive experienced it) but from what the owner told me, it would just be a plain pain in the A$$$ to have one, costs asside obviously you have to have a ridiculous amount of cashflow, for services, fuel, tyres, parts etc but he said he thinks twice where he parks, is always paranoid about cars driving alongside him, and I think that takes away heaps from the experience of the car. Typhoon and XR6T wether the poor mans or the middle class mans machine they are both dreamy for me, performance, affordability, I would still be paranoid but not to a crazy extent and parts just grab them from your local dealer. Takes the whole group with you, boot for audio stuff(Ferrari I would be scared to put a whole for a wire). The overall experience is more enjoyable, plus you dont look like an overzealous w*nker with a midlife crises, power to the people is what I say.

Funny .. On the sunrise news this morning some guy in the crowd goes, Australia is gonna win the World Cup ... mmm ... I guess you can dream Good to see them in the World Cup ... but I am sceptical they would go past the group stage

That is the the biggest moronic statement I've ever heard!!! Some kid takes his car down the qtr & you're bagging him out, I'd like to see his response time to yours & see who's really the better drag racer! Where would you rather they go??? In someones neighbourhood where they can kill themselves or others?? Any kid running at a test & tune/ drag meet should be encouraged, I do no matter what they're driving. The initative by the Police is a great idea, it also helps them improve PR as well as encourage safe driving. Russ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Woah ... chill.... All Im saying is the results for him didnt change time after time, and Rob, Geea and a couple of others had to wait while he took his car (which was falling apart really) down the quater, encourage yes but it was just silly when everyone around him was running at least 14... it slowed down everyone and made him look out of place, you go and do something like calder when you have something genuine to get a slip for.

Anyone thinking of checkin it out .. Im getting curious now LOL ... I hope we dont see any more powerpuff girl pulsars running high 18's on that night I think they will get done for unroadworthy *PS* the guys who were there to see Geea when he ran 10.8 would have see it, it was hilarious, and he just kept coming for more, and he kept getting 18's

Good game although I watched only from half way in the second half ... Im a soccer nut, its the world game cause every country in the world has a team unlike cricket, rugby, AFL, where a world cup usually means a max of 6 countries... woopty doo. Its good to see Australia make it in, I think home crowd really made a difference to them, they were like lost rabbits away game in Uruguay. It was a bit weird though to see how the whole stadium errupted into fireworks and eveything, they made it in true that but now lets see how they go in the Cup next year, Brazil, Portugal, England, France, Italy ... its a whole different kettle of fish. When I used to play I used to goalkeep, and Shawtzer did an awesome job in the penalties, its a freakin lottery draw when it comes down to penalties but sometimes the keeper makes all the difference, its scary being the only thing between the ball and the goal, ultimatley it always comes down to you, and when he saved the first one if you looked carefully you could make out his mouth saying F*CK YEAH!!! LOLOL

Yeah can agree to that .. it would be so much fun ... my fear is ... you go along, blow him into the weeds with a 9sec or 10 sec car (adam & Geea) and then they go WOW! Then go through your car with a fine tooth comb when they get you outside and book you for everything under the hood... My worry is that like you said they are guys and gals too, and what happens when they lose... they have the power to make you pay

I cant remeber whether it was Today Tonight or A Current Affair but there was a nice story on tonight about a new Vic Police initiative to get drag racing off the streets to Chalder park where you get to go up against a copper. I get a feeling its a trap but I would love to see some takers on the offer put them to shame From memory it was a chick cop in an xr6T ute and a guy in a SS commo.... Its supposed to be on Friday night ... Anyone else heard more or up for the challenge ?
