Australian beef going offshore to higher bidders = expensive steak locally

Gonna be a fun future

thus why getting a few acres, fatten my own and getting some-one to slice it up for me..

been checking out VW golfs all day... Mk5 seems a smarter buy than anything else. Mk7 is pretty cheap for a new-ish car but so much crap (read "features") comes with them.

For interior/looks, nothing really competes with VW in the sub $30k hatch market.

Weird forum glitch....

I didn't quote that and don't even know what thread it's from

The "view original" link isn't working either

Weird... its trying to back link to Post #5 of SAU History...

Currently up to Post 7,566,267...

Gotta love self serve wreckers. Low km GDA box & diff with 4.44 final drives and same gearing as v5/v6 STi ~1k worth for $350.

Good gearing and stronger components 2 weeks before deca, splendid.

Do you just do this shit to troll or are you genuinely f**king special?

Literally EVERY OTHER HATCH below 30k is better than a golf. They are f**king abominations.

suggestions?

went to Holden, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Hyundai, VW today.

Cruze was pretty presentable but i just cant trust it considering how woeful the captiva is. Im not familiar with brand new car shopping, but so much was so stale and cheaply made. You could almost snap all the plastic levers and handles in the toyotas if it was to get caught in your clothing and then saw all the same bits in the 86 :wacko:

No offense but dude your looking what sub 40k? What you expecting

I got to say the qashqai for 40k is damn impressive every possible feature / creature comfort the round view camera is amazing should be on every car IMO.

The buttons & dash are pretty good too for the price point I thought.

I actually reckon my new Lexus is better than the a5 was and comparative to the 4 series a touch nicer perhaps I'm bias though

lol this isn't for me, f**k new cars.

Was helping someone else. Got their heart sold on Mk5 golf, GT V or whatever. Diesel manual. Seems the safest bet of the bunch. I know people have issues with the twin charged and DSG models.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
