sad to hear, terminal. will you be driving the r33? or selling it?

wow great thread jayce. love seeing what mates are listening to. big up De La Soul! 3 feet high! uh ok here goes mine. i listen to a bunch of stuff so here's some right now Goldtrix pres. Andrea Brown - It's Love (SOUR Bootleg) Bass Kleph and Nick Thayer - f**king The Groove Rogue Element - Let Me Breathe Drummatic Twins - Feelin Kinda Strange (Bass Kleph + Nick Thayer Remix) General Midi - The Westerner Orbital - One Perfect Sunrise (Stereo 8 RMX) Chemical Brothers - Exit Planet Dust and Dig Your Own Hole (classic albums) Beck - Lost Cause Kosheen - Resist (album) also dont mind Sigur Rós - Starálfur (heard it in Life Acquatic) and been blasting the Johnny Cash too. reminds me i need to do another mix i guess.

yes i am 100% jealous.

when i got my first r33 i took it to a place in fyshwick (they're not there anymore...) to fit an alarm. the alarm kept draining the battery - i.e. flat in two days. they never fixed it though they 'looked at it' many times. mate i hope you get it sorted ok. and the thing is, with a dodgy alarm, you're never quite sure whether it's working or not. and the knowledge that it might not be working has insurance implications also! yer for several reasons i would love to know who it is but other than PMs we really shouldn't broadcast it i'm afraid.

um, hang on. yes something may have happened but we don't know the facts: - what if it was the work experience kid? - what if it was a trainee? - what if they didn't hear the request properly? - what if they have since disciplined whoever did it? - most importantly, what if the OP cannot prove that any of it happened? - what if, in light of this lack of proof, the business subsequently comes after sau because of these ostensibly unfounded allegations? comments on this forum could seriously damage their business, and no one here is really in a position to comment on these events. if the OP wants to do something about it, they should pursue them through the Office of Fair Trading: http://www.fairtrading.act.gov.au

niiiiiice. my gf says pink. but i think candy apple would look sweet.

>he was all suited up. He didn't really look like the sort of person who would steal a car. cocaine's a hell of a drug!

look like microsoft is aware of some of the issues: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=918899 but i have no idea when they'll be fixed...

i'm assuming this is XP, not 2000?

spotted a bright red r32 this morning in deakin.

This is where your example falls down - 18 year old with a modified turbo import? Of course the premia would be insane. $5K? OK, now let's say you hit a BMW Series 7. Not even the top of the line one. That's the ugly side of $200K. Now let's say the passenger was pregnant. The passenger and unborn child die in the crash. The driver is incapacitated for life. That's an awful lot of Stagea parts.

for me it'll be a good deadline for getting things fixed

this is me saying i'm in.

"Law adibement miscalculation" lololol

mate, i think you have to stick to your guns - if you like it, that's all that matters. some wider tyres will make the car sit better i think. go for it, mate. i'm interested to hear about shan's case also...

Or if the thief knows that the alarm has a pager, but doesn't know how close you are, nor what resources you can muster.

This old chestnut. True, an alarm unit won't help if they have a truck, but not many thieves have a flatbed truck. I often read things like "if they really want your car, they'll get it". However, this completely ignores the other side of the economy of security: if you really want to protect your car, you can. Who would be able to steal my car if it's locked in a safe at a bank surrounded by barbed wire, a minefield, snipers and a SWAT team? No one, and certainly not a thief with just a flatbed truck. But clearly this approach sacrifices freedom for security, for I would be unable to reasonably drive my car under such conditions. So the question becomes, how far are you willing to go? Where will your economy of protection reach equilibrium? I would argue that an alarm and a decent immobilisation unit constitute an acceptable level of security without unduly impinging on my freedom to use the vehicle: in essence, these are costs that I am willing to bear. The same goes for a steering wheel lock. Some people go so far as to avoid driving their vehicles. I am unwilling to pay such a high price (that is, to deny myself not only the benefit of opportunity investment on the value of the car, but also the intangible benefit of owning it in the first place). I am also not willing to let the lowest common denominator dictate what I can and cannot do with my car.

there's that old saying, "insurance is only expensive if you don't need it".

your pics don't work (well the fourth one does, but the rest don't).

"yoinking"?

in all honesty anyone can organise booking the server.

that'd be great, thanks

did you really mean to write that??

saw two very nice rides tonight in woden. first a silver r32 gtr with a gt wing with maybe an impul front bar. then a very nice r33 near kfc, in gold with a carbon fibre bonnet. very nice!

i think i got there maybe around 945 and left around 1030ish. i don't have the grasp yet of who is which user name in real life (so mivec i didnt know who you were, same with jaijai). but i know i met: - bluprint - mjfawke - terminal - atticus? also spoke for a while to the guy with the blue gtr but damned if i know his name
