Nizpro were going to do an inspection on Golgo pre-sale. Was a fair price and service offering. Then the guy who wanted to buy it pulled out. I'm still keen to drive to Canberra to kick him in the balls. Who's in?

Scotch & red wine was a better idea...

Paint everything in your engine bay matte black - that way no one will know one part from the next. You = winner

One more

Just want to say a HUGE thanks to all the officials who helped at DECA the other week. This probably is a bit belated - but it's helping me own every thread on the page. Hooray for ideas that beer gives you!

Team Mac OSX laugh smugly and hopes all your Windoze computers fall to pieces. PS: whilst I appreciate the sentiment in letting us know something like this... who the f*ck really cares. Nothing runis morale like darkness when you finish work.

For painting? You don't need a compressor. A six-pack, the Herald Sun and some spray cans are all you need. We can even arrange a spray booth for you (after 1.am weekdays) See the Niva for an example of the quality workmanship

I had half a week-old one a Leewang's house. It was tasty - but still a f*cking donut.

Next wet-weather Lada upgrade?

I'm using the 2-week period of Lada inactivity to drop the gearbox and fix the clutch and transfer case. On Dodds St. Next to the Yellow Peril. Come and say hi

Flaggies are heros. I mean this in no uncertain terms. Without officials, these events don't run. Racers should be compelled to buy all flaggies a beer or 6

I heard people in South Australia kill backpackers for fun. Personally I have no problem with this - especially English ones - just wanted to check * note that I have nothing constructive to add to this thread.

Top work team. Looked like a great day. The world is a better place due to people like you doing things like this. PS: the TX5 is sex

You realise - no matter what colour Ash paints it - it'll catch fire within a month anyway

That GOLGO GT-R is ace. Look at the way the purple paint attracts hot chicks. * I miss him so

Top work Ni. One day you'll be as old as Snowy.

Race Brakes give SAU member discounts. Howard is ace. He had a Lancia Montecarlo, Fulvia race car and a Detomaso Mangusta in the shop last time I was there. Not to mention a Lotus Elise, Rarri 550 and a 1937 Cord speedster. That's cool.

6-beers. Imported. Cold. Southbank. We'll even let you sit in the spa while we fit the exhaust. Go team Playboy

* despite consumption levels and proximity to 80's Stallone movies - will resist the urge to point out that R34 GTTs are bad on P's. M-kay. Nice though. And like Shan says - you can your the special 'hugs' club

Kids, kids, kids... Everythiing you do to modify your car from standard is potentially defectable. Sure - sometimes it seems petty - but thems the rules. Toughen up and deal with it. Arnie did. Sly did. Even Carl Weathers did. Van Damme and Segal didn't - and look what happened to them. PS: i just spilt beer on my cat. I don't think she's impressed.

You're ace Steve! Punch out a few more kids for SAU * PS: drunk.

Forget internet hoons - I want to see laws passed that stop idiots painting their cars pink and lime green and running chrome wheels that sit inches in-board of the guards. It's not right I tell you. Stallone would punch them in the cock if he wasn't so busy driving his truck and arm-wrestling hobos... * goes back to watching 'Over the Top'.

* makes note of dancing bunny icon And sorry Alan - but it's true. Beating England is one of those things that just stirs the Australian blood. You've been here long enough to surely feel a little tingle when a Vegemite eating hero from Wagga gets the drop on some fish & chip shop attendant from Birmingham? It's a form of primal instinct - must be something in the water here...

For your reference: I left my heart to the sappers 'round Khe Sanh, And my soul was sold with my cigarettes to the black market man. I've had the Vietnam cold the sphincter of the universe from the ocean to the Silver City. And it's only other vets could understand. 'Bout the long forgotten dockside guarantees, How there were no V-Day heroes in nineteen seventy-three. How we sailed into Sydney Harbour, Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her, She was lined, And I was home to the lucky land. She was like so many more from that time on, Their lives were all so empty, Till they'd found their chosen one, And their legs were often open, But their minds always closed, And their hearts were held in fast suburban chains. And the legal pad were yellow, Hours long, paypackets lean, And the telex writers clattered, Where the gunships once had been; But the carparks made me jumpy, And I never stopped the dreams, Or the growing need for speed or novacine. So I worked across the country from end to end, Tried to find a place to settle down, Where my mixed-up life could mend, Held a job on an oil-rig, Flying choppers when I could, But the night-life nearly drove me 'round the bend. And I've travelled 'round the world from year to year, And each one found me aimless, One more year the worse for wear, And I've been back to South East Asia, But you know the answer sure ain't there, But I'm drifting North, To check things out again. Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone, And only seven flying hours, And I'll landing in Hong Kong, And there ain't nothin' like kisses from a jaded Chinese Princess, I'm gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long. Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone, You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone, And it's got me worried, I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry, You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone. Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone. Well the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone. It's really got me worried, I'm goin' nowhere and I'm in a hurry, You know the last plane out of Sydney's almost gone.

Gee - you guys all suck. Nothing but selfish whinging. How can you think a massive event like this will be crap? Tim Allen making a new version of the Shaggy Dog? - now that sucks. The Playboy Mansion is smack-dab in the middle of road closures and security zones - getting too/from work will suck, there will be no driving for me during the events and I think it'll be ace! Walk up to St Kilda Rd to cheer on the cycling road race and the marathon. Watch the English triathletes look sideways for sharks off St Kilda. There will be parties and bands and lions and tigers and bears.. oh my. Treat this as an experience to savour. Think of it as the Olympics where we win everything and America gets nothing Besides - beating England at sports is as Australian as you can get. This mindset with beer plus the lyrics to Khe Sanh is all you need for a great time. Go Team!
