  1. In theory they're older and more responsible. Of course some people never change.You might say that those some people were the ones who were causing all of the accidents before any of the restrictions though.
  2. linkage
  3. Nice formation flying that. but yeah lower and faster is alwyas better.
  4. I plan to be out on the lawn infront of the uni when they fly over
  5. Sucks man.. did you manage to make it home with it like that?
  6. You get stuffed about with everything you buy in store these days aswell. Approximately as such today Stratco: we've got the sheds you ordered now my dad gets the trailer out, goes there Stracto: we don't have the sheds
  7. I'm sure there were some kids who did that crap back then too. But at 13? girls? ewwww
  8. While that is true, the rises in costs of petrol vs cost of crude isn't taking place over years, but months. I seem to recall someone mentioning it a few months ago, that over a 2-3 month period petrol had become 10% more expensive compared to the price of crude before a spike in the prices. I wouldn't say that its all manufacturing cost increases. what i always find funny about the idea of a "user pays" system is that everyone goes on about how inefficient and horrible the government is, yet then expects that private companies in the same position wouldn't screw them over.
  9. sparkplugs? engine out radiator? engine out engine out? engine out
  10. I think the main thing to remember is not to streach your budget. If you have 20K to spend on a car, don't buy a 20K car. That being said i'm not advocating buying a car with a blown engine and stuffed suspension and doing it up, but when the cars are at their current age, its a bit of give and take. Its hard to find a exceptionally clean one, but you might be able to find one with a few minor issues to fix. Always a good idea to have some money stashed away just in case aswell. by the way, this applies to any old car... I wouldn't say GTR's are particurally special in that regard.
  11. Isn't that the one that caused most of the b29's to crash and explode in flames?
  12. I'm probably still coming... is BnR next to a creek though? don't mind parking under it, so long as nothing floods..
  13. Even without the GTR badge most people still think any r32-4 skyline is a GTR... not sure if that's good bad or indifferent though.
  14. Quad rotor rx7? would like... can give the owners twice as much stick about apex seals.
  15. More holidays for him? Lucky bugger. (unless they're unpaid i guess) No hurry on it anyway, this time of semester at uni I don't have that much time for fitting anything anyway. Some people say that its the end, others say that they're just moving over to a new Rx7.
  16. Symptom of most japanese cars
  17. I used to have swimming lessons every week in a town 60km away when iwas a kid. Tis hardly any distance
  18. I get the impression that for SSD's, running a RAID setup (the one that share the data, not the one that mirrors it across both drives) doesn't produce any noticeable gains due to the way the data is written to the drives themselves. There's supposedly a decent difference with SATA2 vs SATA3 etc with the latest generation of drives Unless your data isn't compressible (eg movies, or whatever your working with, you'll have to figure that bit out), devices that use the 'sandforce' drivers are supposed to be pretty darn good. Choice depends on your budget though, but if you want what's considered by most to be the "best" consumer level SSD, the OCZ vertex 3 is probably it. PCI-e plug ins are about 50% more expensive, which is crazy. Honestly, due to the fact yuo've still got a SATA2 motherboard, i'd just pick up a OCZ vertex 2 120gb (review. They might be 6 months outdated, but are still a great drive (blow away any disc based hard drive), wont bottleneck on your setup and are cheap, $190 from umart for a 120gb or $350 for 240GB As far as usefulness of a SSD goes, depends on what your doing. I'm not going out of my way to get one (though 200 bucks for a 120gb one is cheap) because i rarely need the speed. other people might. As far as reliability goes, your not realistically going to run out of cycles on the memory. Read an article on that point, and they pointed out that, though there might be a 10000 cycle limit, the fact that you aren't rewriting the entire drive every time you do something it would take about 10 years of normal usage to run out.
  19. Since when to the abc advertise their shows outside of the abc? They were advertising one of their drama show thingies with the other pre film ads at the cinema last night.
  20. I'd be interested to see how much a tv uses on standby...
  21. the energy spent making and pimping the new switch is probably more than they'll (in actual use) save
