joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Euros are more exxy, but that's because of tarded australian dealers. this.... is why i said: (when you buy them over here) it's all just marketing.... if mercs were as expensive as mercedes aust told you i'm sure they wouldn't be used for every taxi in germany... they are just commo's for the jerrys Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310874-vic-wasteland-thread/page/786/#findComment-5609954 Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 show me the hundreds of people with 250Ks without doing anything to engine other than the usual 10K service I have one of these sitting in my garage. My ceffy. RB20DET, regular services, not boosted, pretty much as it rolls out of the factory other than a pod. Still runs fine and smooth. Coilpacks degraded, changed them out, and now runs butter smooth again. I've also owned an AE86 with a 4AC that had 420,000km on it, and it ran fine (although, that's a carby engine from the 80's) up until I put 6PSI of boost through it and took it to a track day to flog it. Once that blew, I bought another engine for $50 and swapped it in during the lunch break at the event, that engine had 360,000k's on it... and lasted half a day with similar forced induction carby setup.

HEKT1K Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 go on an m3 forum and see how many of em actually get their cars repaired/serviced at mechanics/dealers. just coz its euro doesnt make it any harder to work on than a jap. I know plenty of people with expensive euro cars... not one would go near them with a spanner (even though a few, like my old man, are mechanically minded) reason being: some don't know how, or they spent too much on the car to have to worry about that sort of stuff etc I agree they aren't necessarily harder to work on, that wasn't my point... all i'm saying is fk all people actually do it themselves, and instead pay through the nose to have it done for them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310874-vic-wasteland-thread/page/786/#findComment-5610013 Share on other sites More sharing options...

alr33x Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 euro's are shit till you get mega expensive.... jap cars are always better bang for buck and that's the problem (when you buy them over here) it's no good saying a 200k car is better than an 100k car of course a c63 is better than a lexus ... (LSF would be pretty sweet tho) also everyone i know that owns BM has been hit with major repair bills for things like altinator fails etc i wasnt comparing 100k diff i mean c200 to 3 series to IS series to A4 series etc. the "luxury" brands cars are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the local offerings Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310874-vic-wasteland-thread/page/786/#findComment-5610026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I agree they aren't necessarily harder to work on, that wasn't my point... all i'm saying is fk all people actually do it themselves, and instead pay through the nose to have it done for them From experience working on my mate's M5, Citroen C4, etc, diagnosing a Euro is piss easy as the new generation ones have a fully computerised CANBUS system that tells you everything on a laptop. Maintenance on them is also quite easy. That said, a couple of years ago I'd have worked on my own cars, but now my spare time is worth more to me so I'd rather pay someone to do it for me, Euro or Jap, even though I have all the tools and knowhow to do it all myself. The fact that people don't work on them you'll find boils down to what they can afford and what they prefer to spend their time doing, and nothing to do with what car they own.

Shit was f**kED so you are a fag.... every ethnic minority has their own home made alcohol that they think is 90% alcohol cos it's so strong.... it's not a high alcohol content that makes it taste strong, it's just cos it's badly made in nonna's toilet with f**k all skill. go drink a shot of stroh, (80%) pure polish spirit (82%) or spyritus (95%) and then you'll see what real high alcohol content is not to mention that all alcohols are flammable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/310874-vic-wasteland-thread/page/786/#findComment-5610043 Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkymonkey Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 go drink a shot of stroh, (80%) pure polish spirit (82%) or spyritus (95%) and then you'll see what real high alcohol content is yo dawg, i herd you like high alcohol content. so I got you some methanol. 100% nyukkuh. But yeah, arrak isn't strong, it's just shithouse homebrew crap that's badly distilled, hence making you feel like you participated in some two guys one cup action. Hell even properly mass manufactured arrak that we get from Sri Lanka (one of the benefits of a cultural history of being an arab trading port in the indian ocean) tastes like ass cos of the raw material content, not the alcohol percentage.
