I lurk too much and never post...But any help appreciated...Air con stopped working today..Which made for a horrible 1 hr drive back to the city. Checked fuses and they are good..Does the gas run out this early in a new car's life? Don't want to go to Ford to fix as that means having a day off..Any aircon shops to recommend?

Stuck in traffic tonight.Getting frustrated.I pulled into a carpark..and not see the tight entry and ripped my side skirt off..A big dent in it..Do I get a new one from Ford?/Panel beaters to patch dent..but that means a respray of the item...Or a dent doctor? Looks awful with it pulled out...Also..now more air will sweep under the car and off balance the fine factory tuned suspension

So Should I just go buy some new discs then Karl?( I shall swing past Boral tomorrow ) Wish I went to BPS now or Elite...and read a book for 8 hours..Over taking it to Metro....Yes I know Trent they are the same dealership..Since they moved to Newstead it was easier to go Southside for me..Thinking the bigger workshop there would give better service..What was I thinking The reason why I purchased at Metro was because of the location in the Valley and I loved how big the dealership was.(In hindsight I wish I went to Bryan Byrt).Now they sold out there real estate for 22 storey apartment block and got squished in down the road...Which none of the staff are happy about.

I know I should've known better from reading these forums..But I decided to take my car in to Southside Ford.Because I could walk home..vs going to aftermarket tuner...Could not believe it..$375 later..After reading on here that it would be $210 at BPS...I was thinking around $250...Then they charge $75 for semi synthetic oil and it is Caltex brand? WTF!...I lodged a complaint.Nothing heard from since. Decided to rotate my tyres over paying at the dealer to do it...I find 6 ridges in my front right disc...Never seen that in my life and at 16000 kms..Ridiculous...This time I take it back to Metro Ford where I bought it from.Expecting they would put new front discs on...No it took them 10 hours to machine it..Ridges still there..and not even put new pads on.Just buff them back....Fuming much! And they pick up 3 weeks after the original service..That made no mention of this..That the battery is on the way out..Only comes with 12 month guarentee from new...But they would be more than happy to send me a new battery with a 3 year warranty....Good work on leaving me stranded in the future.Considering at the low km's I do,I would not need to go for another service this year./end rant.

Why u calling Matt a Toyota?

You can call me Errol.Coz I am in like Flynn on this cruise. Been a year since my last one..No work=no ability to have fun... Hook me up Ace..

How does a Landcruiser help u get to Uni? know a short cut? Loved following your car Jamie on Lions rd cruise..Was awesome to see in action...A sad day to see it go. Nice Matt.Never see enough FG's around in Breeze.Glad u got a ute too When u getting the canopy?

Congratulations on new purchase Matt! How many k's on it? What options it come with? Did u fix the brakes on the sedan,before moving it on? Good to see some colour in the line up of future cruise's..Too much red and black going on Love seeing you around the neighbourhood Karl.The nsw slim line number plate means I recognise you instantly anywhere.

Got a severe case of Gravel Rash on wheel..Can it be polished out..Or do I need to hunt for a new rim?

Knicking ppl's baggage at the airport hey Jamie Sick of missing these cruise's...12th week out of work..Keep getting bad news about the state of work.. If not for loan insurance..Car would be taken off me.

See camera mount that suctions cup to car for $199 in Camera House Catalogue..Good for these cruises..As long as no one breaks the law..Luckily this never happens..

Man,it's annoying me how many Expensive Daewoo SS latest model's u see around..Seems never ending..But never any XR6 T's..even worse..Seeing so many non turbo FG's around.. What gives..I crane my neck for utter disappointment...However I seem to see a few F6's in city and going over Story Bridge.

2nd time I been down..So give me the quick wrap what is wrong with the place? The people? U realise how white Brisbane is..We aint multicultural at all compared to down there.

No..Love the double decker trains...The ferry system is amazing...The fact that u can get from the airport to anywhere with just the trains and ferries..Trying buying one ticket to get from Airport here to Central Station,then sync with ferries and not have to pay different fee's for each. $50 cab each way is not fkn cool. I only did Friday to Sunday..And if I drove on the roads..It may change my view..

Down in Sydney over the weekend...That places rules..Public Transport system that works first class..We are years behind..and a city u cannot walk around in an hour. Anyway..Fuel Price was 10 cents cheaper down there...Why do we get totally bent over? It should be the same price. High Dollar versus low oil barrel price..and nothing changes...No cheaper fuel..But let's add 20% on to the rego...They won't mind..Zip in back of trousers and vaseline handy shall be new rules.As they find new ways to f**k us constantly.

Got my Ute back today..2 weeks of agony over.. Brand new from factory tub and tailgate already painted. Also replace a section of exhaust system and they put the horrible chrome tips back on...I hate them so much. I use to have a red turbo badge and now I have a black one..Odd! and I only just got rid of the falcon badge and now I have to do that again. Hope your wedding goes smoothly Jamie.Perfect weather shall continue to hold.All the best mate.

Yes I did.The woosh of noise was very loud..Good to hear! :D Meanwhile I drive around in my carboard car..Every time I park in the city..I come out to find it in the recycle bin :( Pretty sure the chassis is straight Trent..It's at Gabba Collision repairs..and they have machines to straighten if needed..But coz I was stopped and car behind me was pushed into me...Just a nice new tub and tailgate.They were even hoping to order one from Ford already painted.Be lucky with Octane being discontinued.

I look out in the paddock and see Black Beauty..However no cause for Hendra Virus here.. Is Karl with his beast at the watering hole.Hope the 540 horses quenched there thirst in my neighbourhood. They made alot of noise as they left I could post photo's of Ute bent up..But does not look that impressive..All I can is say thank god I did not buy a Holden..That one piece monocoque bodywork...Imagine the nightmare to straighten when u been rear ended.. Very Happy with Bolt whole new rear on and new tailgate..Still taking 2 weeks will kill me..

Had myFG for 6 months now..Only really used the lid for 3 weeks before accident forced time off work. So lock has been used hardly at all..Found it was not locking..Took a month to get parts from EGR..All sweet now.Dealer fixed it. I was freaking too about expensive tools remaining unlocked.

Yes still driveable..No chassis damage.I would have kept driving it unless the police and tow truck drivers stopped me. Was like hearing a train behind you coming..All this crunching of metal..I was like noooooooooo please..but knew I was the next stop. Luckily the hardlid is still perfect..Taken a month to get the locking part from EGR..Just got it done on Monday.

Spent an hour washing car this afternoon.Looking smick.On way to GC...Haircut..Uncle and Aunty not seen for a year for dinner. Freeway comes out of that 80 to 100 zone..and then shortly locks up again at Greenslopes..It was an urgent stop.. I stopped fine.Girl behind me stop fine..Guy behind her did not.Pushed her into me...Rear tray all smashed %$&*$^* Cannot believe it :( She had a brand new Mazda 3..3000km's...Mine is still under 8000km's And someone decided in his infinite wisdom not to add car hire in case of an accident on insurance policy.

510 CAR looked wild on the cruise in March..Coming out of the corner fully sideways behind me..Mean Machine with driver to match Hope your as good Willbaz,Brandon at driving. Trent,u get that Metro Ford email yesterday about Ford Performance evening next Tuesday.Are u going? And what's it all aboot eh?

LMFAO!!!!

Yeah I did the same thing..Directions r fked...though it's fun going up the bridge on boost! You get 3 days to pay or they hit u with another $40...Absolute bunch of womens genitals! So wrong...I made sure not to forget.. Also the Automated phone service will infuriate u..I was so angry I threw my phone..Luckily landed on bed and not against the wall hehe.. I could not find where to pay on the website..Good luck if u can..Or just ring and speak to an operator asap..FK automated ph systems..

Ah cool.Even with expensive fuel..I am sure many would prefer to own one of these.In England and Europe where u see Supercars on the road as a regular experience..Be fun giving them a run for their money with a modded XR. Love the new avatar Jamie..:D
