Anyone for a spot of trike-drifting?

The price of new Navaras and Hiluxes etc it ridiculous. They are charging 'made in Japan' prices for 'made in Thailand' trucks. 60k for a Navara, get f**ked.

Decided to get a Nissan X-Trail, that way I can throw the mountain bike in the back and live a more outdoorsy life. Let the vehicle hunt begin.

Also, I've only just become self-employed in the last few weeks, so I think the banks may frown upon that kinda thing...hmmmm.

I'm a sub-contractor and it would be used in a work capacity, can you provide any more info?

Which bank / organisation should I look at re: getting a bank loan for a new ute around the 25k mark? Any recommendations? I'm an existing westpac customer, but from my research it appears that Commonwealth Bank might have a better deal. Any thoughts, please put them here...

Mohsen, how much did you pay for your r32?

Mate, you're gonna have an asshole like the japanese flag.

Aaaah yes, the dreaded falcadore bogan potential. Never thought about that issue tbh.

So nobody has any opinions on whether to drugdealer-spec the fairlane?

In other news, I also want a Suzuki mighty boy.

It's basically like driving a lounge room on wheels. The back seat in un-freaking believable.

This is the car i've been driving around since i've been back home. (This isn't a photo of the actual car, but it's the same model) My old lady sold this to me for cheap, it's a 5.0l Fairlane, its in really good condition and has been with us since brand new. Incredibly comfortable to drive and it's on gas. To tint windows dark black, and lower for potential pimp car lookz? Something like this? Or just leave it as is, personally i'm not too fussed lol.

brb, going for a kebab.

Crispy, do you have any pics / details of your felt bike?

The Edinburgh bike has a flip flop hub, and right now it's running singlespeed. Gear ration of 38/18 from memory. It's such an awesome bike to ride! Nice gear ratio in terms of a top speed / hill climb compromise.

Yeah if it's just a weekend car it's a pretty good deal!

Yeah log books. If you get pulled over and you haven't filled out your log book detailing the trip that day, it's the same as driving unregistered and you get reamed by the 'long arm' of the law.

It's cheap. That's good. You need to be a member of a recognized club. That's bad. It's cheap. That's good. You can only drive your car 90 days per year. That's bad. It's cheap. That's good. You have to have a club number plate and cant have any custom hektik combinationz. That's bad.

They see me trollin, they hatin.

How's that music career of yours coming along? f**k I hate you.

I'm talking about Com Truise, the music artist. Listen to it kuntface.

The hipster bike is so awesome to ride because it's so simple. No gears, no bullshit. The GT on the other hand, has 27 gears and hydraulic disc brakes and shit, it's crazy.

I don't think I can anymore because I swapped the pedals and grips over for black ones!

By the way, did I ever show you guys the bike I built when I was living in the UK? It started out as a shitty old red italian road bike frame, and I powdercoated it and built it up from there, here it is: The locals got a real kick out of seeing an aussie riding a bike with a tartan seat in edinburgh. This bike is now at home with me in Aus, and I don't think i'll ever sell it. Too many memories of riding to work alongside double decker buses etc.
