I work in the area and that was taken at the corner of Roe and kalamunda rd.Steve I am also curious how much it cost that senator chargered. Do you know much it cost Phill?

I was wondering what active automotive was.. Saw a vy ss around the corner from me a few weeks ago with big active automotive stickers down the side.. I thought wow those stickers look stupid bet it's a standard ss. Then I hear a ferocious spool up sound over the roaring v8 and the thing flew down the road half sideways in a massive cloud of tyre smoke.. Sounded amazing I bet your mates doesn't sound half bad either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got no hurry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sell expensive to run and maintain rig, buy cheap econimical rig, be rich. But when I weighed up all the options I just couldn't bring myself to sell my car for what its market value is. I'll wait another year to be at my financial goals and keep myself sane while doing it. Tooemotionallyattachedtovehicle.But you should always chase your goals, this is just my experience with a similar situation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 10m Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 14/08/13 02:54 PM Share Posted 14/08/13 02:54 PM My goals are to enjoy life, a big part of that is my car. If I sold it even ignoring sentimental value, I'd be bored out of my skull on the road. At least 1.5 hours each day driving, usually double that. I do what I can to offset the running costs. Buying a cheap daily would cost me thousands in the short term and would take a long time to recoup the petrol and running costs...meanwhile I am driving a total POS. Bzzzzt!

Save me a fortune while also having a bit of oomph behind me for those little squirts.I've been looking at wagons/hatches purely because I always seem to be moving things, and never have enough room in my falcon to get things moved. My mums Nissan Tida has a shyt load more space because of the hatch factor so would like something along those lines. If not, the Jetta sedan (super and turbo charged) would be a nice daily.
