  1. I believe it was last weekend?
  2. I totally agree, their is as much racing and tactics required before the green light as their is after the green light. Drivers don't go there to run 2nd place they go to win and you have to take any advantage you can get. That had to be the funniest part of the entire day. You snooze, you lose!
  3. "Only in America..." If that was anywhere in Australia they'd need concrete barriers, 6ft deep tyre barriers, 30ft fence, sand trap at the end, fire crew trailing and the spectators would need to be atleast 2 streets back from the action...
  4. Seriously... it can happen with -any- logistics company. A bonnet is a big and flat item, probably the worst type of item you could post because soon as it gets laid down (deliberately or by accident) someone will put a box on it without thinking and squash it.
  5. I priced some 255/40/17's only about 2wks ago and the difference between Bridgestone Potenza S03 (street) and RE55 ® was only about $30/corner (up around $400/corner).
  6. I did my own review back in 2003 when I had my R33 GTS-t. I can't find the dyno graph right now (to many pics to browse through) but you can read my old review here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...topic=10567&hl=
  7. I believe the factory standard awkw figure is around 160-180awkw.
  8. How many km has the car done?
  9. Just give the office a call in the morning if you arent sure, 0294210700 (I have them on speed dial )
  10. Well the weather prediction was fine saturday and light showers sunday however the light showers have arrived already so hopefully that means fine weather on sunday.
  11. I honestly would not stop if I had a p-plater behind me with flashing lights, its just way too risky. They can quite happily follow me back to the nearest police station but I aint stopping. Just like about a month ago I seen an undercover copper in a toyota tarago pull over a car on the M4 Westbound, like hell im stopping for a tarago with some flashing lights on their dashboard. It really wouldn't be that hard to hijack a car these days. Throw some flashing lights in my car and find another nice looking car, turn on the lights, pull over the car and me and a mate get out with a baseball bat, flatten the driver and steal the persons car. So why the heck should I take that risk with a undercover p-plater?
  12. I doubt i'll get any sleep on Saturday nite....
  13. Nice work in getting 11's. Still abit of time in it yet but you gotta be happy with that effort for the night.
  14. ECR033 was there (I was spectating). He went from a 12.5 -> 11.9 just by improving his launches.
  15. About a month n a bit ago I bought 1 of the 'kicstart' packages I heard being advertised on the radio heaps. I dropped 3.8kg in the first 5 days (no kidding) but then the long weekend started, followed by the week after with another long weekend. My goal was 98.2kg -> 89.9kg however I havent started back up again after those public holidays took their effect Anyway basically I just cut out all snacks, had a light lunch, had 1 choc kicstart shake for dinner followed by a big bowl of choc icecream and around 2L of water a day. If I felt like snacking whilst out working i'd either drink water or eat minties and that was enough to get me thru until lunch or dinner. The kicstart shakes filled me right up, didnt even feel like eating. www.kicstart.com.au
  16. That fight will be over in 2 Rnds after Mundine gets his teeth deposited into the back of his throat. I'll be there spectating.
  17. The 2nd last 1 does look the goods. My undertray is in quite good condition however it would be great 1 day to replace it all with something nicer.
  18. I believe the top 3 teams are Ferrari, Renault and McLaren (just having an average year so far). Williams look promising in almost every race for a 3rd-5th place but either a driver or mechanical fault puts them out of the race. I'd rather Williams finish 12th in every single race for an entire season than hammer around in 5th for 15 laps then pull out with a mechanical fault. On another note, I believe the points system should be extended to 12th place. A driver could finish 12th in every single race of an entire season and get 0 points yet Webber could finish 8th in 1 race then crash every other race yet still be higher in the championship table, how is that fair? Maybe this extension could apply in 2008 when the extra team starts up...
  19. The Williams may have ok straight line speed, but I don't think it has the 'full lap package' of the Top 3 teams.
  20. Go to your local weekly markets, u will get change from $2
  21. Ugh both events on the same fuggen day, grrr!
  22. Track will be in great condition tonight after the weekends racing
  23. I absolutely love F1 but that was the most boring race I have seen in a very long time. After the first 5 laps was over it was just a matter of how much will MS win the race by and it stayed like that for the remaining 50 laps. Mark Webber is obviously becoming extremely frustrated with Williams as his interviews showed. I think he needs to let afew words slip in interviews to really vent how he is feeling towards Williams so that Williams release they better pull their fingers out and do something before Webber disappears. Williams have been the most pathetic top team in the last 5 or so years.
