Meh, downloaded the free POS and when I tried to calibrate it just kept saying wrong direction with a big red arrow pointing to *beep* knows where. Tried 3 times and deleted it. Guess for $15 it would be ok as a guesstamator IF THE STINKING THING WOULD WORK.

Should be paying someone $700 to take it away

I wonder if it has the complimentary driveline shunt and usual howling diff issues? Uprated Ford suspension has as much credibility as Holdens FE2 or FE3 setup;, in effect bugger all. I hope it beats the crap out of the HSV but ford don't deserve to sell it if they have left the same crappy rear end there.

Dickheads have an ingrained Bogan HSV addiction

They have to do this to prop up the idea of ETS. I heard Queen Julia on the radio last week telling all working Stralians to get ready for their living standards to drop as the cost of electricity etc will rise. Funny how we are the only country in the world that is even really interested in this any more. Solar power or no solar power we are all about to be reamed by the ets so we Stralia can single handedly save the world from a man made global warming farce that everybody else has given up on. At least the mad monk and his mob won't buy into the nonsense. Hopefully soon they will introduce a "Punch a Greenie in the Face Day."

Put the stock springs back in the bum and it will still do it, 50% of these cars since the BAs have whiney diffs and the dealer will be well aware of that. Someone at Ford needs their ar$e kicked for allowing the issue and the D/Line shunt issues to go on for 8 years. They are great cars but the build quality is crap.

I don't know who did it, but this link to a speech he gave shortly before he was nailed explains WHY it was done. Go figure http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHypnoMan#p/a/f/0/3KeR3yMZi0g

As funny as it may be to see a normal bloke make an academic twit look like the fools they often are when it comes to the real world, that's Farkin outrageous. So to be Aus of the year you just need to be a money grubbing liar filled with arrogance and self importance. What is happening to this once great land I shudder when I tthink of how much money Krudd and Pong wasted on this nonsense, and it seems Queen Julia has taken up the cause just as quickly. Of course its all for the benefit of the ordinary Stralyin people. What an international farkin embarrassment

I wonder what crap the Labour Govt, WWF tin rattlers, Green loonies, Al Gore and the IPCC will come up with to try to counteract this. It’s the latest in a series of high-profile set-backs suffered by global warming theorists- the UK’s leading scientific body has decided to rewrite its own definitive guide on climate change, now admitting that it is “not known” how much warmer the planet will become. The Royal Society has released a new guide which outlines a retreat from its former vanguard stance on the threat of climate change and man-made global warming. The decision to update their scientific guide came after 43 of its members complained that the previous versions failed to take into account the opinion of climate change sceptics. The new guide, entitled ‘Climate change: a summary of the science’, concedes that there are now major ‘uncertainties’ regarding the once sacred ‘scientific consensus’ behind man-made global warming theory, admitting that not only is it impossible to know for sure how the Earth’s climate will change in the future but it cannot possibly know what the effects may be. The 19-page guide states clearly, ’It is not possible to determine exactly how much the Earth will warm or exactly how the climate will change in the future, but careful estimates of potential changes and associated uncertainties have been made”. The guide continues stating, “There is currently insufficient understanding of the enhanced melting and retreat of the ice sheets on Greenland and West Antarctica to predict exactly how much the rate of sea level rise will increase above that observed in the past century for a given temperature increase”. In a Sept 20, 2010 article published on the UK Daily Mail, Professor Anthony Kelly, academic advisor to Britain’s Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) explains, ”The previous guidance was discouraging debate rather than encouraging it among knowledgeable people. The new guidance is clearer and a very much better document”. The decision to revise and tone down its alarmist position on climate change demonstrates a clear u-turn on its previous 2007 climate pamphlet, one which is said to have caused an internal rebellion by the 43 fellows of the Society, triggering a review and subsequent revision. The 2007 publication, which parroted the IPCC’s popular, but misleading impression that the ‘science is settled’ – make way for the new guide which accepts that important questions remain open and uncertainties unresolved. “The Royal Society now also agrees(with us) that the warming trend of the 1980s and 90s has come to a halt in the last 10 years,” said Dr Benny Peiser, the Director of GWPF. Economic realities and a marked shift in public opinion since last year’s Climategate scandal and failure of the much-hyped UN Copenhagen Summit have triggered a series of falling dominos within the climate change and anthropogenic global warming (AGW) orthodoxy. The Royal Society’s shift also follows last week’s blow to the radical climatist agenda within Britain, where the new Coalition Government announced it will be slashing its Climate Change Department’s budget and folding the former free-standing bureaucracy into the Treasury. Some analysts also believe that the Society’s new guide does not go far enough. Dr David Whitehouse, the science editor of the GWPF said: “The biggest failing of the new guide is that it dismisses temperature data prior to 1850 as limited and leaves it at that. It would cast a whole new light on today’s warming if the Medieval Warm Period, the Roman Warm Period and the Bronze Age Warm Period were as warm as today, possibility even warmer than today. A thorough discussion of the growing empirical evidence for the global existence of the Medieval Warm Period and its implications would have been a valuable addition to the new report.” In addition, this retreat by the Royal Society signals a very real trend in climate science circles where political activism is slowly being replaced by a more sober assessment of the scientific evidence and ongoing climate debates. The Political Fallout To date, the political activist engine powering climate change has been anchored by an elite circle of scientists, foundations, green journalists, carbon financiers- and politicians looking for a good cause. The fuel for this engine has been supplied by short-term economic opportunities, most of which has been in the form of massive research grants, subsidies and feed-in tariffs(triggering a rise in energy costs to the consumer) by the State and confederate bodies like the UN and the European Union. In the US, problems with climate change inspired instruments like Cap and Trade are more chronic, where North America’s sole carbon trading market, the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), has recently been scaled down following a decline in investment and the near complete collapse in carbon emission prices. As formerly obedient IPCC scientists and insiders gradually break ranks and defect over to the common sense camp, and foundations like the Royal Society reverse their policies on the nature of the climate threat, politicians may lose the once reliable traction they enjoyed when promoting their various green agendas. This is followed, of course, by the economic reality of any democracy whereby taxpayers cannot really back departments, much less policies, that do not deliver a measured benefit to the public welfare. If the IPCC’s elite chamber of scientists cannot be trusted to objectively measure past global temperatures (actual UN data sets show that there has been no temperature increase since circa 1998), then it goes without saying that politicians cannot build real-world policy catering for a crisis that is not actually happening. The rising tide of scepticism and the reemergence of real scientific analysis will surely spell an end to the innumerable faith-based policies and guesswork forecasting that has plagued the climate change movement to date. As science gradually makes its way back into line with reality and real world observation, it follows that many of the climate bureaucracies erected since 2000 will stumble as a result. The reason for this phenomenon is spelled out in the basic laws of ‘political physics’; a collapse of the so-called “scientific consensus” comes into direct conflict with one of the main tenets of politics- plausible deniability. When politicians can no longer use scientists as scapegoats, as in “it’s not our fault, they told us CO2 was heating up the planet…”, then the political agenda is all but dead.

Not to mention the fact that if your house catches fire they will probably let it burn to ground because of potential high voltage shock, that's what they do in the USA. Just another green initiative crock of Gotta keep the man made global warming fallacy going somehow

WA WA land is in the past, the distant past. They are too worried about the cutrains fading more over here to keep up with the times, 2 hours behind is bad enough, now its 3 again.

The Moot Point became an ultimate and convincing victory. Almost as good as seeing the Holdens get smashed in the V8 Supercars. Congrats Pies, great win.

The guy should have been called Ricky Gerkoff, met him last year in LA, he's an arrogant tool who has deluded himself into thinking he's funny.

Hey *Beep*. Hypnosis is probably one of the most researched and also misunderstood topics on the planet and still there is no general agreement, except that is is an indenifiable state, so its real, and the general statistics are 20% of people will go instantly into a completely compliant and controllable state such as you can see on a stage. 60% will go into a medium stste where they feel like they are in a dream, and 20 are very difficult to get down because they won't let go, although a skilled hypnotist will know how to get around this. Unfortunately, or fortunately it has nothing to do with strength of will. It has also been very watered down by academics and so called Gurus in to nonsense like NLP (Neuro Linguistic programming)which are passed off as hypnosis but are not. A stage show is easy to do becuuse you are looking for the 20% of easy ones so for every 50 people that come up you will usually get 10 good subjects. It also has nothing to do with If a hypnotist put someone into a biological sleep all they did was bore them there. Whatever way you look at it, it can be a lot of fun and it can also help with a lot of psychological issues and habits. the best way to describe the feeling for most people is as "A curious detached paralell awareness" You can actually become up to a hundred times more aware of your environmemnt but 10 less bothered about it.

I'm beginning to wonder whats the point of all the power anyway with a laser or speed camera around every corner. I used to enjoy an ocassional country road blast in the BA Phoon 333 but the R Spec 284 has never had the experience. I've taken to driving the misuss's Zetec more than the R Spec these days. Nice to have it sleeping in the garage though My driving sense must have caught up with my age

I did a show to raise some money for the PMH Childrens hospital. Had a great night and lots of laughs and raised $8000 Click here to see http://www.youtube.com/user/TheHypnoMan

Well didn't this thread become a MOOT POINT

Adam got it spot on. I carry 2 with me when I travel. You can buy all these gizmos for about $25 at the duty frees when leaving Syd Bris Perth or Melb just make sure you don't need a voltage adapter. I bought an iron back from the USA and it blew up in the missus hands, got no shirts ironed for a week

Yes bjc PayPal are shockers, but so are the banks. Its very rare, if not imposible to do a money exchange or purchase at the ACTUAL OFFICIAL RATE. Even if a bank gets close to it, then they charge a significant % fee. Oh to own a bank. Still that said the exchange rate is great for us against the greenback at the moment if your buying. Costing me a bloody fortune at the moment as I sell into the place. But it just balances out all the extra I made last year

Imagine whats going to happen when the predicted hyper inflation comes because of the trillions they printed to try to fill their black hole. Still a bloody fantastic place though

Now its starting to unravel for them. This is a farce and a joke. What kind of a Goovernment do you guys have in Mexico. It may have been easier to just let Mike go me thinks follow this linky and lsiten to the interview with the Vic opposition. Proves Vic has a pack of liars running the place. Opposition calls for investigation EastLink speed cameras faults | Herald Sun

Mike jumped to 7 about a year ago and does the 6.30 show on Sunday nights. Who cares if it takes him getting booked to get some truth out there. It won't make a bit of difference anyway the spin doctors will just gloss it over and the so called Governments will probably increase the fines just because they can.

Another load of greeny nonsense, this abortion has as much credibility as global warming . If something doesn't use at least 91 octane it is not entitled to be called a car.

Mikes actually a good bloke, maybe this might get him on the side of the pathetic revenue raising nonsense that's been going on too long. 80kph big deal. Any normal person and it would have just been a bit more Government theft and nobody would have known. Same nonsense as branding the formula 1 racecar driver who did a burnout a Hoon a few months ago in Vic IMHO.

Sorta makes a mockery of Krud and Pong's Global Warming nonsense
