According to the traffic report, there's a police sting zone at the end of the centenary motorway. Brilliant f**king idea. So, who's coming on the cruise on Sunday?

By the looks of things, the rain we're getting at the moment isn't hitting where the cruise will be going, so hopefully potholes won't be an issue! Now all we need is good weather onthe day and we're set.

All i meant by something silly was a bad tune. Unless you actually do get 20L/100km on the highway your not going to be looking at 600 bucks of fuel.Your the one who knows what your average highway fuel consumption is, your best placed to make an assessment of how to get your car down there i guess.

unless you've done something silly to your engine and its chewing more fuel than usual, you'd probably get under 10L/100 on a highway trip. Its 170L, which is probably only 300 bucks. Just have to factor in the hotel costs ontop of that.

Barrel shaped fridges?

Nutthin. Actually can't wait to get back to uni next week.

UQ's IT department has come a long way. 4 years ago the wifi would drop out every 5 minutes no matter what you did!

4door 34. I'm still not convinced about the 4 doors being any more practical than a coupe, but its in dam nice condition either way.

I really need to change my posts per page to something longer.

Took my dad 20 years to restore his datsun... You'll get there eventually.

I washed my car today so i'm out for car washing. Up for kenmore maccas though. Have my lights working so i'll bring the skyline this time.

crazy bastards

I went off to try and find some statistics from a few decade's ago, and go on about how we've doubled the population (and people probably drive more now than then aswell) yet maintained the same number of accidents, but came across some statistics from 2010 showing that 37% of fatalities involving speed (exceeding the posted limit or driving too fast for conditions) involved drivers aged 17 to 25. Another interesting statistic is that over the last 5 years, 80% of the drivers in that age group involved in fatal accidents were considered at fault. Another interesting statistic is that in 2010 only 22% of all crashes involved speed, whereas 30% of young driver fatalities involved speed, against the 5 year average before that of 38%. Not sure what to make of that.

Bigger drains? cut some grooves in the concrete to get it to the drains maybe?

By the looks of it you might be able to get the water out of there without cutting concrete. a few drain entrances next to the concrete with a pipe to the lower ground or something.

what about a 4088. About the same size as a to4z isn't it?

A quick google found me this. Its a much, much bigger turbo than a t04. Most people quote them as a 900hp turbo, which is way more than what your aiming for, so in my non expert opinion, its way to big. I really don't know what is the best turbo for ~500kw though, but probably something a fair bit smaller.

Yeah i'll be there for a bit at least.

I had one last week. Wasn't in the mood to mess around with him though

does head office have a good taste in drinks?

a V8SC maxima would probably about as closely related to a real maxima as a V8SC commodore is related to a real commodore

By that same token, when you get his licence details, write them down and leave them at home. No good to you if he steals your car and grabs the licence back and you've left the paper with the details on in the glovebox

Yes i know that the other states have their own rules, what i was trying to point out is that the QLD rules are separate from each other states rules. And yes, while its a common car, i still think that a SV6 commodore is to fast for a P plater to drive. Its probably about as fast as a r32gtr.

Yep, it will be. We'll be timing it and making sure people properly stop in the garages when finishing etc.

Most of us drive around in cars that were 60K premium models when new. Kinda skews the impressions.
