did you guys know that 'gullible' is NOT in the australian dictionary?

This is a trick question. There is no "Australian Dictionary"

Any such compendium is published by the companies which produce either the Oxford or Cambridge Dictionaries. Meaning they are both English.

But yes, the word gullible is in every English language dictionary.

Sorry Bro you're waaaaaayyy to soused. :bahaha: :bahaha:

It is a joke, NOT a trick question, only the gullible people say "really" "i didnt know" :rolleyes:

And YES you are wrong again, sorry, Heinemann make an Australian Dictionary, complete with slang words, colloquialisms and Australian Terms...

I have a copy...maybe I made it myself :confused:

Ok, so why dont you tell me then, what is an Australian name? What does it look like? Uluru? Moomba? Wilcannia? Didgeridoo? Platypus? koala? Etc...

Most of us living here are imported, like our cars...although I am 4th Gen Oz my own First & Lastname's are hardly Australian!

Wow - a publishing query. I hardly ever get these...

Actually Ed - both Oxford and Cambridge have production and publishing facilities here in Melb (both in Port Melb).

Cambridge Uni Press offer education textbooks for secondary and higher education markets, as well as localised prints of reference products. Really nice offices too :(

Oxford Uni Press do produce an Australian 'localised' version of the dictionary amonst other reference material. They also publish material in the primary, secondary and higher ed markets.

Heinemann Reed-Elsevier was established in the USA. Heinemann have offices in Port Melb (funny that) opposite an indoor go-karting facility.

Heinemann offer some reference trade books (dictionarys etc) but are mainly focussed on secondary and higher ed educational publishing.

They have many other arms covering primary and trade publishing which are in turn joint-affiliated with larger publishers - like Thomson Learning :(

If you would like to contact any of the publishers - I can provide contact details.

It's OK - I'll get back to work now :D

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
