This sounds like a great idea. I nearly went for a trip out to Bathurst yesterday, but went to Kiama and back through the southern highlands and Picton instead. There is a great series of back roads all the way from Mount Panorama back to Donnybrook (just this side of Lithgow). Not only is this an interesting drive it is the only way to go when you go to the races at Bathurst. After the race it takes less than an hour to get to Lithgow, where as it can take more than an hour just to get back out onto the Great Western Highway if you go the normal way.

I think there could be a whole range of extra badges for other options. I have seen the APS badge for Phase 1, 2 or 3 equiped cars. Other Badges could be: PA – Premium Audio L – Leather or Luxury Pack Mo - Momo sterring wheel Ute – on a ute of course Ron – if the car runs 98 ron fuel The only drawback I see is that a Ute with APS, Leather, Momo and 98 Ron fuel would be an APSLUte MoRon

Well done Ducatijb on becoming a moderator. I thought Geea stage 1, 2 or 3 meant the following: Geea Stage 1 – Posts useful information about The XR6T, tuning, drag racing or breas*s. (usually interesting) Geea Stage 2 – Disagrees with Ford and/or a dealer and/or another forum member sometimes resulting in the post being edited by a moderator – (always interesting, if you can read it before it is edited). Geea Stage 3 – Goes off the deep end at the moderator for editing his post – (one of the highlights of this forum ) Keep up the good work guys.

On the M4 this could be said about any lane.

I can't stand reality TV and so I choose not to watch it. But the thing that really gives me the shirts is the cross-promotion from other shows on the same chanel. Whenever Big Brother is on you also have to avoid The Panel, Rove and even Burt in the mornings because they always have 'The Latest Evictee' or some other sh*te. Same goes for the other chanels and whatever their crap shows are. And then if you are watching a movie, at some critical moment in the plot you are distracted by a stupid message scrolling across the bottom of the screen reminding you to tune in tomorrow for the latest installment of whatever the current crappy reality show is.

To convert kPa to psi multiply kPa by 0.14504 So 230kPa x 0.14504 = 33.4psi 240kPa x 0.14504 = 34.5psi Or the other way 38psi / 0.14504 = 262kPa 40psi / 0.14504 = 275.8kPa

The quickest lane on the M4 is lane one - the kerbside lane. The vast majority of people sit in lane 2, trundling along at 5-10 km/h under the limit. Far more than the number of people sitting in lane 3. Either way, drives me f ucken nuts Don't know if its really illegal or not, but I often make a point of sailing past them in lane 1, when I could just have easily gone past in lane 3 (far right lane). Actually works, sometimes, and they move over. I agree with Aniken on this one. Why do people think that 'keep left' means 'stay in the middle'? I also cruise along in lane 1, passing the bottleneck in lanes 2 & 3. On 2 occassions the car in lane 2 causing the bottleneck has turned out to be an unmarked police car and has flicked on the lights and siren and pulled me over. Both times I got let off with a warning. Plonky - good to hear you guys are finally doing something about this. It has been a pet hate of mine for years.

exar If you order a run of the mill T then delivery could be very quick, if your dealer can find one with your requirements at another dealer. My T was delivered in less than a week If you order some of the less common factory options, like premium brakes, adjustable pedals etc then the car will more than likely have to be specially manufactured for you.

40 front / 38 rear for me It came from the dealer with 28 all round At this pressure it felt horrible

Did a Google for "Roz Switzer" and got nothing. Tried "Ros Switzer" and all I got was a link to another topic within this forum. Best Childs Show, Hi 5 !!!! And guess who was going on about Ros Switzer. That's right! It was Plonky. Seems you are the only person in the whole world who knows her.

Blacknight There are several members who have added the lower grill from a variety of suppliers. Check out these links to this topic on this site: Lower Bar Grill Pics In Xrs Found A Reasonable Priced Lower Grill Reasonably Priced, Good Quality Grill, full details and pics of a quality grill Intercooler Grill, Where to get one fitted?

Ahh! So that's you in the chicken suit. It all makes sense now.

Subservient Chicken link A man dressed in a chicken suit - he does whatever you tell him to.

AU XR8 17 inch wheels came with 9000s. Maybe they had some left over? By the way, I have seen the Dunlop data sheet for both 9000s and 3000s and they are identical in wet and dry grip and braking. 3000s have a lower road noise rating.

Mario Congrats on the new Citric T. The first decent drive I did in mine was much the same drive as you. Are you in the lower Blue Mountains? The next drive was Bell's Line - mid week late at night. Highly recommended.

Thought it was time to revive Lumpen WannaBE's 'had a lot to drink' thread. I had my brother & father around (and their wives & kids) for an ANZAC holiday afternoon/evening BBQ and red wine drinking session and drank the following top drops of red stuff. 2 bottles of Richmond Grove 2001 Borossa Shiraz 1 x 1998 Brands Laira Coonawarra Shiraz 1 x 1991 Wynns Black Label Cab Sav (really good) 1 x 1992 Seppelt's Dorrien Cab Sav (absolutely fantastic, I'm sorry it was my last bottle) 1 x 1977 St Hallet vintage port to finish off

I think he's driven over a garbage can and its gotten jambed under the car somehow.

Didn't we discuss power up kits (you know, the topic) at all ?

Got it! F * C K U too

Kitty Here are a few Selespeed pointers for test driving the 147. It takes a little bit of getting used to so you might find this helpful. The dealer may not give you this info. Mine didn’t, I had to work it out for myself. Firstly, if you use the middle gear lever it is the opposite of the Falcon SSS – back for down changes, forward for up. And the blinker stalk is on the wrong side. Every now and then after driving one car and getting into the other I get to the end of our street and change from 2nd to 3rd (instead of 1st) and put the wipers on (instead of the blinkers) to go around the corner. I would suggest you start with the car in city mode (button on the centre console). This drives like an auto, but it also changes back gears as you slow down, with a nice double clutch and perfect rev match. Once you are out and cruising, as soon as you use one of the paddles you take it out of city mode into full manual. In manual mode it won’t let you do anything bad for the gearbox like selecting a lower gear that would rev it over the redline. In fact it will change up gears automatically as it approaches the redline – try it out. It’s normal gear changes are quite gentle, but if you have the accelerator pressed > 60% of the way and are doing > 5000 rpm it does faster changes. You can do double down changes (5th to 3rd or 4th to 2nd) by double clicking the paddle. You have to push pretty hard to activate the stabilty control. Apparently a light flashes on the dash, but if it does activate I’m usually too busy watching the road to be looking at the dash to notice it. Have fun.

Zeke I'd be looking at two things, Tyre Pressure & Wheel Alignment

I know a guy who has an immaculate Datsun 1600 rally car with the number plate - DIRT

A young newlywed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor told them, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from sex for one whole month." The couple agreed and after two-and-a-half weeks returned to the Church. When the Pastor ushers them into his office, the wife is crying and the husband obviously very depressed. "You are back so soon... Is there a problem?" the pastor inquired. "We are terribly ashamed to admit that we did not manage to abstain from sex for the required month...." the young man replied sadly. The pastor asked him what happened. "Well, the first week was difficult.... However, we managed to abstain through sheer willpower. The second week was terrible, but with the use of prayer, we managed to abstain." "However, the third week was unbearable. We tried cold showers, prayer, reading from the Bible.... anything to keep our minds off carnal thoughts. One afternoon, my wife reached for a can of paint and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and had my way with her right there and then." admitted the man, shamefacedly. "You understand this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor. "We know." said the young man, hanging his head; "We're not welcome at Bunnings either."
