Spotted "ST4GER" (I think it was) at the Celtex on Springvale Rd near the end of Westall Rd... ...I was just getting some drinks... ...H was getting fuel...
Just thought of something else too...
What will they do when we all go Electric and are just as silent as they are... ...Bet there'll be a heap more being run down because they didn't hear us coming... ...But we'll still get the blame...
I'm all for bicycles using the roads... ...As long as they stick to roads that are 60Km/h or less... ...I see them all the time along Princess Hwy in peak hour and there is a perfectly good service lane with a 60Km/h limit there for them...
I got abused a few weeks ago for hogging the left gutter (over the apparent "bicycle lane") when I was three cars back waiting to turn left at Caulfield Monash... ...I'd had my left indicator on right after I went past him and there was another car that followed me past him as well... ...The car behind me was also turning left but was probably about 2 foot away from the gutter...
The reason I always hog the gutter when I turn left after passing a bicycle... ...When I was about 7 or 8 my mother ran over two girls on road bicycles with an old landcruiser when mum was turning left... ...Mum was waiting for a pedestrian to walk across the street she was turning into and the two girls decided to ride between my mother and the gutter... ...Right when the pedestrian finished crossing... ...Lucky for my mother there was two cars behind her that saw it all happen... ...one was a retired ambo...
They tried to take it to court but ended up having to pay damages to my mother to get the landcruiser fixed... ...just a lick of paint over the scratches to the left hand doors...
Road rules also state that a bicycle can't turn right from a right turn lane at lights... ...they have to do a hook-turn from the left lane... ...Or dismount and use the pedestrian crossing lights... ...Time and time again I see bicycles turning right from the right turn lane and it shits me to no end...
As I said... ...I'm all for them using the roads... ...as long as they stick to roads that are better suited to them...
*puts on his Devils Advocate hat - - and a fire suit*
I'm surprised everyone is digging in on this site... ...Pop your number plate in and just see if yours comes up... ...If not... ...sign up and it will let you know if someone dobs you in... ...And if you really feel like dobing someone in... ...go right ahead... ...For all those tools out there with broken/faded tail lights/indicators... ...I'm dobing you in...
I've seen it... ...and thought about it myself... ...It looks ok... ...You do need to have a FMIC to fill the space... ...And this seems to be the only reason to cut out the bar... ...Then you've just got to work out where to put your plate... ...And hope you don't get a cop pull you over who knows where your plate should be...
It is a '90s car after all...
You could put a wide body kit on an EH Holden... ...But it wouldn't suit the style of car... ...Just like a supercharger would look out of place on a Skyline...
Yes... ...The work done to this car is over the top... ...but as a total package it looks fine... ...I doubt this was put together to be driven around as a daily... ...Or even a "weekend warrior"... ...It's really just a rolling billboard and whether or not we like it as a car... ...It's doing its job...
I'm going to come out and say that I don't mind this... ...It is always good to see someone try something extreme... ...Innovating even... ...and if it wasn't for people like that we wouldn't have alloy wheels... ...Turbos... ...All wheel drive... ...etc...
Saying that... ...I'd really like to see what the rear of this car looks like... ...I always find that when I'm stuck in traffic it is the rear of cars that really needs to look good... ...Because that seems to be the par of the car that everyone sees more than anything else... ...And I think that's why I don't like fords... ...their asses look shit...
I've been thinking the same thing of late... ...Looking at getting a HD TV and a Blu-Ray player as well... ...Most of my friends that have PS3s say it is the way to go... ...Most got the TV and PS3 at the same time...
The rumors and little news that is coming out for what Sony have planned for the PS3 also seems to push in the PS3s favor... ...Microsoft are also rumored to be getting into bed with Sony so they can put the Blu-Ray player in the next Xbox... ...Which is also meant to be 100% backwards compatible with both the original Xbox and Xbox 360... ...A feature that the PS3 did have at launch but is no longer part of the current PS3 architecture...
I'm willing to wait to see what Microsoft do with the next Xbox... ...but if you're up to getting one now... ...Keep an eye out for PS3 bargains...
Oh bugger... ...Just saw this one...
Need to Shit - Shower - Shave in less than two hours and find time to wash the car...
And I've got a BBQ tomorrow and I'm in charge of the salad...
Black 34 four door on princess hwy heading outbound on the slow curve before chaddy... ...Sure it had SAU stickers on the rear quarters... ...around 5:45/6:00pm...
Then a moment later a white 33 with what looked like aftermarket front bar and side skirts... ...Had a small white/grey sticker on the rear quarters...
I'm yet to spot a Skyline in Hawaii... ...but there are heaps of G35s (V35?) around.
Taken a number of photos of them. Local cops even have one with blue lights on it.
Spotted DogKnight at a wedding tonight...
Well... ...He really spotted me... ...because I'm shit with remembering faces and names...
Great to chat and I think the girls will be looking forward to the next cruise now...
