... and it only works on about four models of car at the moment. Wonder if they'd ever do it for the Falc? (I doubt it)

Grrr .. 51275, and I'm 2000km short of my FBT obligation, so it's now gonna cost me another $2300 this year :(

Fark that's quick!

There was a news story on DW TV a couple nights ago - this guys charges up to 200,000 euro for his bespoke bikes

NO no no ... wild speculation is much more fun

So the Easternats is just about burnouts?

Here's a test for you - Get a normal drinking straw and blow through it as hard as you can. Then get a Maccas straw and do the same. The Maccas straw is about twice the cross-sectional area of a standard straw, therefor letting more air through. (or letting the same amount through with less pressure drop). This is why, in the induction side of things, bigger is better No real point to a rampod in a turbocharged engine

Sounds good - might bring my Dad over too

You get visitors?

I'd offer my Merc. Silver falc (ie: the bog stock one) ... but that weekend is my anniversary. I'll see what pans out though

Saw an Envy coloured sedan today - plates "SUMA" - on Windsor Rd at Baulkham Hills at about 9am. Had grilles and exhaust (I think, was getting on the bus at the time).

New F6-X goes on Sale 29th Feb http://www.caradvice.com.au/9874/2008-fpv-...ry-f6x-preview/

Those Wicked Campers vans are hilarious!

Utes have a live axle rear end - sedans have IRS

Ummm ... see above?

bcl's car spins up to 7000 easily, I seriously doubt you'd get them much quicker than that.

I'm another for the Maserati Quatroporte ... be-a-utiful machine

Doesn't look like it would corner at low (read legal) speeds either

After hunting around a bit, I reckon it's the Lexus LA-F - not a Supra

Whoah ......

Can't see why they wouldn't .. kinda like a G-tech

I got winded just watching it!

Clockwise, can't see it going the other way ... BUT, everything mentioned in the right-brained comment is so not me

Saw a Mondeo XR5 Turbo the other day ... they look pretty nice

From http://www.caradvice.com.au/9600/new-presi...ford-australia/ Just after the news of Chris Gubbey’s departure from Holden, comes the surprise announcement of Tom Gorman’s decision to quit Ford Australia. Ford Motor Company’s Executive Vice President of Asia Pacific and Africa, John Parker, today announced that Bill H. Osborne will replace Gorman as President of Ford Australia. “Bill Osborne has a wealth of business and industry knowledge and will be an immense asset to the Ford Australia team,” said Parker. “He has led the Ford of Canada team admirably since November 2005 and is well placed to take the Australian operations to the next level of global integration and significance. Tom Gorman has been an outstanding leader at Ford Australia and has brought the company through some challenging times. He has elected to move onto other exciting opportunities outside the automotive industry and we wish him well in his new role.” Osborne, 48, who is currently President and CEO of Ford in Canada, has had extensive experience in engineering, sales, and product development. He also has had involvement with the Duratec V6 program, which will make him a perfect fit for the new Orion’s transition between the current Barra engines and the new V6 coming in 2010. Mr Osborne takes up his role at Ford Australia from 1st of February 2008.
