R-SPEC

F6TEEN turned off Canterbury Road down Wantirna Road towards Knox today and sort of grabbed 2nd gear round the corner. It sounded awesome lol I was in a turning lane when he changed into 2nd. Did you see me dude?

You won't stop driving it mate. Also, you'll get used to the power soon and forget how quick it is. I'm already thinking of getting it flashed. Shocking...

The definition of Wikipedia... 'Wikipedia A free content, multilingual encyclopedia written collaboratively by contributors around the world. The site is a Wiki - anybody can edit and add to an article. Offers quick understanding on controversial issues.' Everything in wikipedia is written by anyone. 1/2 of it could be complete and utter bullsh*t. And when it comes to cars, they're like people. No two cars are exactly the same. They will all run different times and they'll all have different power outputs. Like religion, it's an endless arguement.

I went last night. I'm really happy I got to scope the actual size of the Veyron. F6 was very disappointing. I had a chat to the FPV guys and mentioned a few things like sh*t house seats, and the fact that they should have changed the rims. But I LOVE the dash and I want the FPV badges! I'm not happy that the XR6T now has the same power as my car. I think that's just rediculous (Nizpro tune here I come). Also, hate those honeycomb rims, they're a shocker! Eahc individual model should look different (Focus, Mondeo, Falcon etc.) They're all following suit with Mazda making all models look similar. I think it's sh*te. GTR...OMG WOW! GT-R Skyline's have been my absolute favourite car since I was 5 years old. That new one is definately my next car in 2012. I wouldn't mind a V-SPEC when they make them. Amazing car.

What a dick snap.

Volume only on steering wheel.

Do the test in the dry. My clutch pedal clicks in the first cm of travel. I think it's a sensor for cruise control or something like that.... Just take it back! Even if they don't do anything, they'll log it in their computer...

I wasn't in any way promoting that slogan. I hate that slogan just as much as the next guy. I was just tryna say that people don't die from doing burnouts or doughnuts or dragging their cars to 60 or 80kph, they die when they excessively speed and don't know how to control their vehicle, or they do it in the wrong surroundings. Speeding itself cannot cause an accident and I ever said that it did (I think?). It increases the effects of a crash. Hit a concrete wall at 50kph and you'll be sore in the mornin; double that speed and you'll most likely get crushed. Speeding and stupidity can result in driver error and death, it's as simple as that. CAUSE AND EFFECT. Even people who have driven 50 high powered/performance cars and even people who race cars for a living (Peter Brock is a perfect example) and have countless hours of experience and are professional drivers can make a mistake die when speeding. PB was going too fast on a strech of road not unfamiliar to himself or his co driver and simply made a mistake. He was tired from his previous day's advertures and speed killed him. PB was not stupid, he just made a fatal mistake at the time. Now feast...

They both tie into eachother. I was t-boned 6 years ago in a Bluebird. I was travelling at about 10kmh pulling out of a carpark, and some f*ck head in a VS V8 ute hit me at 70kph in a 50kph zone. He hit the drivers side passenger door. I spun about 200°, the chassis rail under the doors snapped in two and the door was pushed in over 40cm. If he had have hit my door OR if he was going any faster I would have been in some serious trouble. Speeding is stupid and speed kills.

This story is crazy. Something like this was bound to come up sooner or later. It's all just inexperience and lack of education... I'm glad I drove 5 totally different cars all under 100kws before I got into my F6. I did some STUUUUPID things, but I NEVER went over an unsafe speed (120- 150 max, depending on the surroundings and the car). As I said in another topic somewhere, driver education is the only way to stop so many people from dying on the road. As this story clearly states, you can drive one of the most safe cars in the world and still end up dead if you do not know what you're doing and excessively speed. SPEED KILLS

I get it. Well done Dags... I think our next cruise is a wednesday night cruise coming up soon. Dunno who is organising it, but we should start discussing a date and the route details. Get it Dags? Route?

Haven't had time. Got my engagement party tomorrow night so we've been preparing for that. Plus I STILL don't have a clue how to do it lol

Anyone heading out tonight?

No mate I ran over that bolt on my way home from wprk last night! I was saying when I went to change the tyre I realised it was a full size spare!

Not really mate. Apart from one of them telling me "the turbo runs at 3 psi" I gathered most of the info myself reading magazines n sh*t like that. They don't have a clue. I'd love to send a mystery shopper into Etheridge from Ford's head office, they'd probably all be made redundant within a week.

Cosmetically, the only things different to the normal F6 is the greyed out rear spoiler pillars and the RSpec badge on the back isn't it?

I never knew there was an FPV 19" spare in the boot!

I was at Ethridge Ford in Ringwood on Tuesday getting a faded oil pressure gauge replaced, and there was a little wa*ker in the front yard in his blue overalls hosing the cars down and chamoising them dry. Could they be any more f*cking stupid? Rubbing a wet chamois over dirty clear coat is like running sandpaper over your duco.

If anyone wants to put mine in and could use a few $100 cash I'll gladly be the tools bitch... Edit: Provided you know what the f*ck you're doing lol

My gauges from Scott at Ozegauge just arrived today! They look sensational. I've got the tripod, now all I need is someone in Melbourne to install them. Is it worth just ringing local auto elecs to see who would/can do it? Does anyone have any recommendations for auto elecs in east/south east melbourne? Cheers.

Finally my Lightening Strike brother! Where abouts are ya mate?

I ain't no crook!

Hey, we all work hard! My financee: 'Our mortgauge interest rate has gone up again and you go and buy this!?' Me: 'Yeah! You only live once....and I pay too much tax.' I think it was my 2 year old daughter that convinced her it was okay. When she first saw it she goes "WOOOOOW COOL CAR DADDY!" (This is from a 2.5 year old) She thinks she's so cool cruisin in daddy's F6 lol

Apart from the lil extas, there's 300 of them! That's one of the reasons I got one...

Mate that is one f*ckin' sexy car... MINT
