but bp dont got none fuel voucher... if they did... i might go there.. shell does got a fuel voucher.. save a whole $2 mate.. dat buy you 2 pies at darbys .. or 1 pie at da servo your already at... aye bro.

nisskid, why is that??

hey all, now ive got your attention.. haha, i just thought id throw up some pics of my 32 full stock, as i bought it got some Panasport G7 rims... which only just fit, and some cusco coilovers shes pretty much done on the visuals.. just some ganador mirrors and some tidying up to go, maybe a gtr bonnet and grille. i was going for a plain and simple old school drift look.. i think ive achieved that. so if y'all see me round newy, shoot me a wave, i dont bite cheers Linton

spotted a tidy white 33 gtst at greenhills lights this arvo.. and... wait for it.... its coming... a red p plater, being a dick, in 34 gt with GTR badge, and M spec Nur and nismo stickers... mate, if you're on here, wake up to yourself a bit.

ohhhhhhhhhhh part time student... my bad. should read the post aye... forget it.. my mrs is a student and with the crap she has to pay for and doesnt get government hand outs because we live together.. theres no way she can afford a loan at the moment. shes at uni 5 days a week and works weekends... before you all say something about my typing/rambling, ive had 2 large cups of really strong coffee and its all i can do to stop my hands shaking.... cheers Linton

one more thing while im at it, my old boy is 60 this year.. since ive been around the family car has always been just that.. hes had a gt40 in the build for years but never been able to finish it.. he worked 7 days a week on awesome money to pay off the house, and he kept taking more out to renovate, they never went overseas, just our family holiday the house is now paid off and he is retired.. hes got himself a flash road racing bike, a genuine 70' Boss Mustang, a really nice ride on mower, push mower, whipper snipper, etc. and time to spare. but... hes 60.. and worked hard all his life.. he cant ride his bike because his joints and back cant handle it.. the mustang is too loud, too rough, too uncomfortable, and doesnt have a/c so it never gets driven, the ride on he cant use because its too rough, the push mower hurts his back, and he cant whipper snip to save himself.. he doesnt want to back pack around europe... but he cant afford to stay in hotels, he doesnt want to sit for 20hrs on a plane in economy class either. hind sight is a wonderful thing... fore sight is better.. i rather drop dead and be happy with what ive done.. than live for things to come eventually. cheers Linton

i took out one loan.... 6 years ago.. have gone through 16 cars since... kept the same loan and its just dwindled down and ill have it paid off this year.. over the time ive paid off lots, took more out, had expensive cars, cheap cars, so on and so forth.. been overseas etc. lived life to the fullest for the past 6 years and have experienced sooo much. my mate, who was on the same money.. bought a house, after his house repayments, was left with $100 a week... that was for fuel, food, car, etc.. and at the time he owned a later model targa top crx.. which he saved up for and bought outright... so he drove a shitter around while he saved up enough for the crx, drove the crx around while he saved for the house... no has no moneys to get more moneys to get a nicer car, and hates his current car because its falling apart and leaks and he cant afford to fix it up or sell it, he had paid extra on the loan to get it down and to be able to have some moneys to go to canada for a holiday... but since the interest rate rise, thats gone. i figure, im gonna be in debt for the rest or most of my life anyways... id rather have fun with cars and travel now... then can sit back and look at what ive done while paying off my house.. but im not into investments and making money.. a house is for a family to live in, not to make money off. another thing ive learnt... dont sell your favourite cars... just stick em aside in a storage shed or something. cheers Linton

its not until you stand back and really look at what you've achieved since you've started that you realise just what you've built, and the fact that you've had a hand in most of the build up it means alot more than goons that just take it to a shop, say "i want 9 sec" or "i want 900hp" and getting it back in 2 months and handing over cash, no idea whats gone into it, or done to it. my mates the same, he has a fairly tame wrx... he got it completly standard and immaculate... 5 yrs ago, its by no means a rocket ship, but it has the ingredients to be a very quick street car, or even track car.. he cant see it though and always thinks of selling it and getting something else. just dont cover it in ugly stickers (thats a note to workshops to come up with a decent name and a decent logo that doesnt look gay) and two.06l will be THE sweetest modded 9 sec GTR in australia. cheers Linton

haha go the cops!

yep... cant even fit a thin wall 19mm socket in the holes of these rims... the nuts fit... but you cant get a socket on them. so its gotta be allen key types... found em at auto barn, none at repco, supercheap or tyre joint. what rims did you get for $50?? thats sweet

hey guys, just bought some rims and they need the hex key type wheel nuts, with the internal hex... just wondering where would have em... dont really want to have to order them through a tyre shop etc as they generally have trouble with stuff like that. would autobarn or repco etc have them?? doesnt need to be "special racing nuts" cheers Linton

from the pics ive seen... they arent stretched, as like you say, a 215 on an 18x10... but they appear to be slightly angled in as opposed to straight up and down and inline with the edge of the rim.. hence my reference to them. cheers Linton
