Rob. Go down the m5 and take the second campbelltown exit from the m5, the one that says you can get to camden from it as well - Narrellan road exit. When exiting the freeway stay to the RIGHT, go left and you go to campbelltown. Once you exited the freeway simply drive down about 3 kilometers and on the left is a mcdonalds and the woolies is in there. You need to turn at the lights to get in there street name is waterworth drive. A large swimming complex is on the left just before the lights you need to turn left at. Then go to the roundabotu and turn right and that is the woolies carpark.

Premo sounds is a no brainer add on for the xr6. Colour ICC is the main thing. Teh sound system is not that bad either. If you want it to always be full blast adn make teh other people at the lights look at you like your a deaf fool then get a better speaker/ amp package but having the colour ICC is such a good thing in the car. If you want to do anything on the screen then a modified xobx is the easiest way to go for DVD/MP3 etc. I can steer you in teh right way and it has been discussed on this board in other threads. I can of course organise modding your xbox as well if required You can also get a DTV box running in your car with a couple of diversity antennas and an appropriate STB that runs 12v. the Teac DVB 400 is the unit I an many other forum members are running in thare cars to get tv. cars without the premium sound look pretty bad in my opinion as the dash looks crap with the green LCD screen there and its only like half the size of the colour unit. Good luck with it anyway Wayne

Scruffman + Wife + 3 Kids will be in attendance.

I seen the damage to you beast this morning while I was driving to work.. Almost turned in to come and see if you were ok as from teh passneger side it looked bad. But from teh photo I can see that although bad its not terrible so to speak. I assume taht you are OK as you are still at work Hope that you dont feel any pain int eh days to come and that you can get your beast back ont eh road ASAP. Well at least you can walk to walk hey just dont try to go anywhere else while its getting fixed. Wayne

OK, Scruffman & Wife plus 3 kids are coming. And for those with other kids my kids ages are 9,7, and 3 and I anit worried although they must stay clear of Ken as a cruise rule. Ken are we gonna meet at mount annan and cruise up teh old northern road together with 4 runner etc. Wayne

If you want Forza to really shine you simply turn off the stabililty management system. I was enjoying playing it with it on but any slight lose of traction seen you do a four wheel slide that really sucked to control. Turn off the STM system and all will be cool. Wayne

I have been a GT fan for many years. Owned the PS2 before the XBOX. I know have both GT4 and FORZA. Forza is a much better simulation of driving than GT4. When you play both together the difference is quite considerable. The PS2 controllers arent anywhere near as nice to hold as the XBOX units for driving as using the triggers on teh front for brakes and steering is good as it leaves your thumbs free to look at th rear view and use the handbrake etc. The forza demo was quite bad when I tried it I though the simulation was crap but the release version is just brilliant. The licences in GT4 are just plain boring. You spend many hours getting the licence but you dont really learn anything from it. You only win cars which is why I had to do it as winning those cars makes the game so easy. Get the licences then use the cars to race you are unbeatable. Teh multi core processors coming out in the new units are going to be a trick bit of gear but I will be waiting for hte hype to go away before I part with my dollars on bying one to get it at a more reasonable price. Scruff

Wife Me 3 kids all coming along on this one Scruff

Well I have voted the 17,18,19,20 option as wife or I working all other weekends and harder to change. If I can organise the time off I will be there. My cousing is a Seal handler at teh pet porpouse pool in coffs so when we got some number I will call and see what they can do perhaps a special private show and a group discount if you are interested. Will check back from time to time and see whats goign on in this thread. Wayne

doesnt the blaupunkt unit only connect up via the conversion box that also costs like $350 AUS to purchase. These boxes hook straight up. If you want a DVD player I still think the XBOX is the way to go in teh BA. Just waiting for the cables to be delivered and mine will be online as well as the Digi TV Wayne

pretty easy to do. You just need to hook up the wires from the STB to the ICC plug in the dash. Sounds goes to the AUX input. Power is 12 volt, cigarette lighter/power source plug? That will get it working. If you need more like mounting it in the boot. The curcuit that you build is also easy that allows this to be done. Plenty on here to help you do it if you want. There is acutally two of the boxes up for grabs. Both have strong bidding on them. Lots of BA owners I guess. Wayne

I love vortex 98. I can now pull into the servo and charge up a full tank of petrol at $1.26 is the max so far. Sorry but I just love the rising price wen mines all pre paid. Wayne

TEAC STB at EBAY that goes in BA ford Just seen this guys. If anyone is interested. Wayne
