BEEN THERE ... DONE THAT... Add 30kg+ of gear on your shoulders, 1200 rounds, light machine gun, spare barrels and all the crap ..... and not just in this country...... most leaches in one river crossing to date is 16.

lol @ Steve, spoken like someone who HAS experienced the "fun", & then 1/2 saw the light. Nearly there mate, another uniform swap and you'll be laughin' :P

Like Steve I too have played the games in snake's sig' (thankfully not as often as what Steve has) it's 1 minute of fun..... followed by a wk of shite! 2mins / 2wks & so on...

Think of it as if you were playing paint ball for a wk straight.... with no sleep & feeling sick as a dog, covered in shite, sweaty, wet.... ahh huge fun... NOT.

Edit: and no where NEAR the amount Snake has, thankfully! 15+yrs and MANY o/seas visits, most of them in luxury compared to Snake. Not all though, I've had my share of "fun".

Eating out of tin cans for weeks, cant forget that one, then there is the joy of wearing one set of clothes for a few weeks or more. Washing with a damp cloth and if you do get sleep, being woken half way through for an hour or two to make sure the bad guys dont get you, or some dill treading on you cos he isnt looking where he is walking, being eaten by insects, hmm water proof toilet paper, having to burst blisters and fill them with iodine, I could go on for ever:):D all good fun, thank god I was in armoured though, at least we got to drive most places.

Yeah, you RAAFies do it tough, I bet they even made you stay in 4 star accomodation when you were in Hawaii once eh Matt? or was that the UK? :D:D definately the only way to go.

Why yes old chap once in a while we did have to slum it out in less than 5 star hotels, shocking I know! You'd think the least they could do if we we're having to put up with going to war is give us decent lodgings. I mean can you imagine only having one waiter per table!!!! I was shocked. Worse still was having to drink tap water, rather than our usual Evian. :D

HAhah, i dont think u guys have the slightest clue wat u r goin on about. ive played heaps of video games and can tell u being in the army is the most fun u can have on ur legs.

LOL at matts comments, poor bloke, did u have to go thru treatment for the harsh conditions u endured?

On an unrelated note, matt ur avatar pic is sik!

Ex armour hey steve ...... leopards? ....aslavs?.......Bradleys? Yes i will agree with you steve, the list of "fun" never ends... and just when you think its all good the brass find another way to dick you around or shaft you.

LOL at matts comments, poor bloke, did u have to go thru treatment for the harsh conditions u endured?

I tell ya' Dean, it took quite a few sessions with the therapist to get over the harsh conditions of low grade 4 star hotels. :rolleyes:

Thanks dude. Yeah the Fullboost guys/girls are to thank for the avatar piccy, was hoping for more than one shot from the Nat's, but I'm happy with the pic they did take :P

im sorry to say that my car wont be spotted in SA anymore. We did the drive to Sydney, all was well, not even one stonechip or speeding fine! I used 3M contact adhesive all over the front bar, and end of bonnet.

NSW members, sorry to say, but it really sucks to drive around here, so much bloody traffic, so inconvenient to cruise anywhere!!! I miss little adelaide already. If i dont end up using the fly much it will be coming back to adelaide for holiday use!

And damn its easy to get used to power. Already planning to highflow the 2530 and injectors are in the mail!!

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
