curious

then you should change the colour of the window washer bottle cap from yellow to red

K mart must have been overstocked with wheels and did a deal with Ford, there cheep looking. I surprised there not optioned with spokie dokes or those fully sick spinning hub caps.

Look at the car, no way he was doing the limit. Think physics boys and girls

Love it, imagine dropping your mobile phone and going back to pick it up. Anyone can push a pedal to the floor and hold on.

These threads always end up like this. Yes these errors are correct, however the CPU of the Laser picks them up and ignores them. The squeeze of the trigger constitites your vehicle being red forward and and back roughly 38 times. Speed out side paramaters are ignored. Same with stationary speed cameras using Gatso 24 camera and radar. Vehcle speed is checked in the hundreds of times and rounded down. Sweep error is counted by the operator evidence thet it was clear target and the red sight (a pin point in the scope) was focused on the number plate at all times. You try and operate one of these. You must hold still for it to acquire a speed. Been to court, explained it all, walked out a winner..........next. As for the real topic here. All that needs to be proven in court for speeding is, if I can remeber the charge off the top of my head (Qld) That on the 9th day of August 2004 at Brisbane in the Magistrates Courts District of Brisbane in the State of Queensland one (defendant) did drive a motor vehicle namely a motor car on a road namely the Bruce Highway Brisbane and the said (defendant) did exceed the speed limit set for that road namely 100 kilometres per hour. It is somewhat like that...........but where does it mention car colour, speed of vehicle, etc etc. All I have to prove is you were driving a car on a road over 100 kilometres per hour. Credibilty is the only thing that can be attacked here and that's covered by the officer giving the evidence. I mean being issued a ticket isnt even the start of proceedings.........the summons is.

Maybe this has been covered but I couldnt find it so I ask some of you loyal and most knowledgable individuals out there. I put mine in for its 3,000 service, Apart from a throttle body replacement I discovered what sounded like an overspooling sound coming from the turbo at around 3,500 - 4,00 rpm gear changes (manual). I thought that's weird, its not wasting I wonder what it is. I pick the car up from the dealer and he stated yes a fault has been identified by Ford that causes that but they dont have a fix for it yet. I said what, no fix, what is it, standard reply was "I dont know but they are working on it, it doesnt affect your performance" Does anyone else have this sound on gear changes or can they shed light on the matter. I am sure Garrett would have perfected ther turbo's by now so it must be a Ford prblem.

I was just wondering if any one else who has a manual and gives it a bit between 4000 and 5000 revs and changing gears do they hear what sounds like a spooling of the turbine, its not a wasting sound but like an overspool. This is my first owned turbo as I was a V8 man previously and dont know whether this is normal. No performance problems....except for sticky gear gates ahhhhh

phew not many changes, six speed big deal, if the gates are smoother then good, that will be the only benefit.

I dont know why it has reverse parking sensors, driver training should take care of that.

Not bad.... The SS vents are very nice, the V8 badge reminds me of the Merc. compressor badging on the AMG vehicles. It will work. Expensive Daewoo badge way to big on the front.. As for the Monaro...... time for a facelift, the old VT front look is ageing and throwing Pontiac type bonnet intake is tacky. A beautiul car but showing its age. Calais is always a soft spot for me, luxury with a hint of play on board. SV6 - why waste time with it, if you can afford that ask the bank for a little more to go to a V8 or turbo. 5 years time it will look like the rest of the knobs out there who have kitted up there executive sedans. My 2 cents worth and I want a refund

In QLD they are not illegal, how ever they do attract the boys like bugs to a zapper. If you want this attention then go right ahead. You must be mindful of Section 5 of the guidelines. You must also not have red or blue as those colours are reserved for emergency services

oh yer right....let me know where you are and I'll show how its done According to the numbers supplied by Motor magazine, and just for comparison showing a slightly modified T: Stock T...0-100km/hr: 5.91s HSV GTS...0-100km/hr: 5.29s APS Phase I T...0-100km/hr: 5.20s Stock T...0-400m: 14.14s HSV GTS...0-400m: 13.55s APS Phase I T...0-400m: 13.30s Stock T...RRP: $45,085 HSV GTS...RRP: $98,500 APS Phase I T...RRP: $47,681 So, you could have 2 better-performing in a straight line APS Phase I T's (his and hers) for the price of 1 HSV GTS. Given neither driver has a weight disadvantage or dusty launch technique, on paper the HSV GTS would outperform a Stock T. If you even check 0-60km/hr figures, that would be the case too as I recall, because that "Expensive Daewoo Special" Motor issue earlier this year compared HSV GTS with an M3 and AMG 55 and showed a range of acceleration figures. Edited: Updated with Motor magazine numbers. Safe and happy driving...Dr Z. Just be minful that these times are done with good drivers having optimum starts. It s quite understandable that the T could have wasted the GTS cause the driver of the GTS probably finished perfroming a by pass operation and was tired and doesnt know how to drive but wants to look good. I do agree they are a beautiful looking coupe and a drive in the new Coupe 4 would be nice.

Definately needed to move, Jaguar R are restricting his talent. Gearbox troubles and DNF results are cripling. I see big moves for Weber in the future and this had been highlighted by big Mick himself. One often wonders what he would do in the Ferrari team. Williams is a no nonsence team and will expect 100% though, not that any other team doesnt. The change in team rules concerning budgets will make it interesting as well. God bless motor racing

Its refreshing to read the enthusiasm within the APS team and their search for maximum gains. Imagine what you boys could do with cold fusion and a change in the laws of physics.

I will definately have driver induced fault codes. The other day I drove past this stunner and she smiled and before I could respond I had driven past, instantantiously the fault lights came on. I will take it to the dealer and I bet it will come up with D.H 001 code - D*ck Head code - man fails to acknowledge beautiful woman. The code is cleared by having a beer with the service department and describing what you would have done to her if you had stopped.

no more photo albums of naked people, not that we used to keep them at all when we worked in a lab during high school

Sorry cant agree there, the manual has got nothing on the SSS auto in the BA. I drive both and choose manual, its a personal choice I suppose. Having the auto in sports mode pings me.

performance cars should only come in manual, I must say im not that impressed with mine, its sticky in the gates and third does not like to play on downshift without quick double clutch. Impedes on my driving style (sideways)

wack the cat in its place, the light should reflect of its dead eyes and look good. (cat eye globes)

you would never catch me do stuff like that....its just wrong!!!!! figure 8's are better so I do those.

yours was probably sitting beside mine at Trinity.... There were two blueprints there ready for delvery. went from the cricket to Ford then back to cricket.......a perfect day

I rest my case, this is why I confiscate them.

aaaaaaahhhhhhh, memories are flooding back. I want to go back. Day 1: All day at Carlsburg dist for Free beer, watch world cup qual game., off to club afterwards. play with girls whos names you cannot say like ibegivagrategobbie and anywhchwayuwant.

Oooooooohhhh, my bad. Too dry for you?

ummmm, maybe. Im OK Anyone see my baseball though?????????
