Rex,

Three words; Front Wheel Drive!

Guys who wanted the size of a Kermode-door or the Falcon, wanted a rear
wheel drive vehicle.

It's what they were taught on, what their Daddy drove and what their
Grand-daddy drove!

Well a simple solution .. make all P-platers wear Helmets while driving.

Hey, how many lives have been saved by the use of helmets, in say, the
V8 supercar series or Formula One?

I meant that if it was imported they wouldn't have tried to sell
40,000 of them :-) and if they had, the numbers would still be bad.

  OT: Telstra ADSL2+ the ultimate joke         


Author: Dan---
Date: Feb 6, 2008 14:02

After reading some articles about Telstra ADSL2+ exchange turn on.
I had a look at their prices and almost peed myself laughing.

600mb for $69.95 unbundled

Fucking hell has to be the biggest con I have seen in ages.
I cant wait til a sales droid tries to con me into getting Bigponds ADSL2
+. :-)

Oh they usually drive Toyota Hiaces

Just to put some useless on topic stuff.

  must for all mercedes owners..Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition.jus hava look

This is the Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition, offering
the usual AMG upgrades. This Benz is powered by a 6.0-liter V12
Biturbo engine, generating 612 horsepower. One of the unique parts
will be the paint. They use a paint called Alubeam where you won't
find on any other production model car on this Mercedes Benz CL65 AMG
40th Anniversary Edition.

http://carluvers.blogspot.com/
http://carluvers.blogspot.com/
The silvery paint is made of pigment particles that measures just 30
to 50 nanometers which are much smaller that normal metallic paint. It
allows it to coat the surface more evenly and reflect the light more
intensively.

http://carluvers.blogspot.com/

Basically, it "gleams like liquid metal" and seems to be "stretched
over the vehicle body like a metallic skin," as Mercedes says.
Mercedes Benz CL 65 AMG 40th Anniversary Edition is limited to 40
units only and it is priced at $295,000.

I was driving along just behind that truck on my way to Mullumbimbi that
night, I just happened to stop at Helensvale to get something to eat, I
was going to stop at Tugan

might have been a bit more nasty if I had been there as well

  Re: Mitsubishi pulling out of OZ?

I would avoid buying any 380 build in Feb or March of this year. Some
factor worker is going to purposely leave a couple of bolts unscrewed to
spite the company.
