Did ANYONE get the Darren Rogers joke above?

Jeremy Clarkson is a total champion. Let him do whatever the hell he wants! P.S. Smicky I'm a spelling nazi, please fix the poll!

EDIT: Not starting any sh1t, I'm sick of whingers at the moment...

Good man! The Glen to the Monash Fwy Monash to Clyde Road (left turnoff) Clyde Rd turns into Lyall Rd (Maybe stop here somewhere to regroup? There's a carpark behind the old Berwick Pub) Lyall Rd into Harkaway Rd (left) Harkaway Rd turns into Berwick Rd Berwick Rd to Wellington Rd (left) Wellington Rd all the way up to Lysterfield Rd (right) Lysterfield Rd to Glenfern Rd Glenfern Rd to Burwood Hwy (left) Burwood Hwy to a carpark somewhere (doesn't have to be too close to the city. It could be like in Vermont or even back to The Glen?) Then everyone can have a chat and then cruise down the Prinny... What do you think?

That's why I suggested the route I did. There's a huge opportunity for highway cruising along the Monash, then there's 15 to 20 mins of long winding road with no traffic lights, then Burwood Hwy for a few drags. There are traffic lights along Burwood Hwy, but if you organise a meet point at the end of Burwood Hwy somewhere, then people can meet there at the end, and then make their way over to the Princess afterwards... Taking a Saturday off is too much of a risk $ wise. What if some dude called Darren Rogers driving a new SS use came in and said 'Hey mate. I just won the $40,000,000 Powerball jackpot! Now, can I buy 50 houses off you?' But if everyone wanted a day cruise, I could ask for it off. :banghead:

That sucks dude. I can't go on a day cruise because I work weekends Looking at the pole results, even if you total up both day trip suggestions AND the track day suggestion, at just over 30% they don't come close to either of the two night suggestions. Can we please keep it as a night cruise? It makes sense and covers almost every base. And if we make it on the weekend of the 20th/21st, that gives people almost 3 weeks to organise themselves and their plans for that particular weekend... What does everyone else think? :banghead:

I whacked the standard air box and filter in yesterday while it was in for a service, and running down the same roads this morning on the way to work that I've run for the past 4 years, I'm convinced that running a pod/mushroom filter makes a massive difference to the midrange power. It just wouldn't push me back in my seat like it normally does at certain spots along my route to work. It's definately going back on tonight. Plus, The way I have it sitting in the box, it wouldn't draw in any hot air while moving anyways... And I can't live without listening to the induction nose lol Has anyone had a difference in dyno readings with standard panel filter and a pod?

Didn't notice any difference at all mate. If you've got a spare $80 to $100 just whack it on and see if you like it?

I did it in my F6 and hated it. It spits and pops when off the throttle, but under throttle it sounds awesome. Apparently if you get it tuned it won't spit and pop... Here's mine: R9cqIU2NYow You can really hear it popping and spitting in this vid... jPiKXJnxvPc

20/21st definately

Okay? Pull your fingers out then? So... A date... Lets make it mid/end of June shall we?

You comin Dags?

Good man. Just really really work hard on maintaining the correct attitude and you'll find not only your day to day job but your life in general will improve immensly. If you get sick of doing something at work, start doing it slightly differently or even change your desk around or something like that. Works for me! You'd be amazed at what the desk re arrange does! Cheers mate

I run exactly that daily. You get the induction noise, and depending on your foot control, you can flutter it or sshh it when changing gears At least until Alex makes me an adjustable factory replacement BOV with a trumpet lol Plazmaman to the rescue!

You poor bastard... 'Fuel card fuel card fuel card...'

5 years ago a lady I know called Lynne Betts used to sell land in the western suburbs. She sold 350 blocks of land in one year and made over $400,000 in commission! She taught me a few things a couple of years ago. Crazy ol' witch

Lets meet somewhere like The Glen and drive down the monash to like, berwick or something, then take the twisties through lysterfield and then cruise down Burwood Hwy to the city then go down the Prinny. Top that! Farkin good drive that one! lol

You need an unreasonable friend to bark orders at you. Dill I've wanted to quit many times. Real estate is a tough job (even though most people think we're scum) it's a very stressful and tough way to make a living, but it took me 4 years of selling to make a decent dollar. Within the past 4 years I've wanted to quit so many times. Going home at midnight on Friday and Saturday night parties and not being able to get totally smashed in fear of getting bretho'ed in the morning etc etc etc. But if you have a goal with dollar signs and/or success at the end, you'll be fine. But if you don't know what you want and aren't willing to sacrifice to get it, then you may as well find a cushy job somewhere and put up with the same pay every month. In this job, if you have your technique down pat and you practice perfect routine, then it will pay off. It took me ages to learn how to do it, but once I learnt how to control my attitude it all changed. With my attitude and listening to what I'm taught, I've just taken over my section of the business (established houses, packages etc) and work is now going to pay for me to do my full licence in the next few months, then in about 2-3 years I'm going to start my own office and create a money making factory! Yaaaay! Real estate used to be easy when the boom was in full swing. People just rode the wave and made an easy $300k to $500k a year, and now that it's up sh*t creek, the morons are leaving and the top sellers are all in management positions holding onto a 1/2 decent salary that pays for their lifestyle. But as for the kit shickers like you and me, we just have to hit the pavement and list, and hit the phones and sell. If you do all the necessary things well, you'll be fine. Now put your fuking head down. It doesn't matter which office it's in, or which company name is on your business card. Get on with it! Yours Sincerely, Unreasonable Friend. P.S. Oh, and I'm friends with most of Melbourne's biggest developers and Directors of the biggest building companies in Melbourne, and if they weren't a builder, they were a real estate agent! One director of Porter Davis lives about 2 mins down the road from me. His boat is the size of my house! That's where I wanna be when I'm 35...!

That is too funny. The guy who I'm refering to above is South African!

How far away from civilization are you? Maybe you should pack your bags and go on a road trip for a couple of days to a tuner in Adelaide? Might be the only option?

I've still got a mate who does this all the time. He's so competitive. He drives a turbo girls car and thought he was top sh*t because it was faster than anyone else's car at the time (accept for another mate's 240kw Audi TT slammed on chrome 20s). You should have seen the look on his face when I rocked up in a brand new R Spec Typhoon. FUKING PRICELESS! The next thing I know he 'takes' his old man's CV8Z out for a spin to try and keep up with me one day. I sat up his tail where ever we went, and whenever we got a red light, he would slowly take off to avoid getting his ass kicked. *cough* COCKHEAD *ahhemm* Edit. He also tries to tell me things about cars. One day I got the alloytech 190 mixed up with the early monaro V6 and told him that my BA MKII XR6 had more power than the new SV6. Jesus, did he think he won a million bucks or what. He still brings it up to this day, because he knows there's little I don't know about cars... Tool

Lookin good! Can you still see the lightly raised FORD text underneith on an angle? Or are they a bit thicker? Can't wait for mine! Thanks

Lookin good mate Love the colour!

Get one Charlie... Get one!

hahaha I'll be sure to lovingly give you the finger out the window next time lol
