I've got teh ANSWER! The SAU Victoria sticker has 11 letters in it. Each person who signs up to be a "trial member" only gets a letter a year. Come renewal time, if they've been bad, they won't get the next letter. Only after 11 years of good behaiour you'll be a full member and worthy to fly the club's colours Cop: I saw you doing burnouts in your ricebox. Driver: Sorry officer. Cop: What's this? A car club sticker? Why, I'll make sure we pull over and defect-search each and everyone one of you from SA... what does that stand for? Driver: er..... Singstar Australia?

Freudian slip lol.. unless you've been keeping quiet. BTW, those photos look incredible, even more so when they have been untouched by photoshop. Dammit, if my car wasn't in the workshop I'd come... sigh...

1st pic is a sexy black Maser GT with black custom plates, only two letters. Forget what they were. On Macauley Rd, Kensington at 4pm last Saturday. 2nd pic is a MB SL65 AMG I see occasionally in East Melbourne with awesome plates which by themselves are worth probably more than my car.

Loti? Lol, reminds me of "Lexi"

R31 Skyline with Vic plates [ZZZ-999] Westbound on Dynon Rd, 7pm. Had aftermarket wheels with what looked like almost semi-slick compound (or just bald tires lol). Too dark and far away to see properly. Driven by middle-aged guy. Those plates are probably customised and worth more than the car lol.

hahahaha

Saw this beauty in Maribyrnong last weekend. First Vette Z06 I've seen in the flesh. Despite the intense R35 vs ZR1 rivalry, I actually think Vettes look awesome IRL.

By themselves they would just log speeds and traffic data. Obviously they can't record your registration unless hooked up to a normal camera. So I fail to see how this changes anything. The camera would be just like any other fixed/mobile speed camera that is visible.

Must be the only magna with a rollcage

Saw a motorbike with two front wheels close side-by-side. Yes, like a reverse trike. Around 0730 on Whitehall Rd, Yarraville, city-bound. Didn't realise until I had passed it. Had a badge that started with S, never heard of it before.

OK, cool will go see Mick this week. (Fck Cheltenham's a long way. Why are all the best workshops in the sticks?) Oh, and BTW, I don't think there is any mechanical damage. The only thing is that the intercooler pipes are sitting just behind the panel that got crushed so hopefully I don't have an intercooler leak somewhere. No fluid leaks under the car. What symptoms would an intercooler pipe leak give? I was paying attention to my MFD when I drove (limped) back home after the crash, and the oil temp went to 85 on a cold night while babying it eg., not boosting at all, keeping revs < 2.5k. I think this is higher than expected???

Hmmm.. ok thanks. Looks like I will get the quote from Sheen Panels. Sounds like it will be more than Micolour, so hopefully I can get Micolour to fix it.

Thanks for the replies guys. Just got off the phone from my insurer and it should be ok. I need two quotes, one of which is from their "preferred" workshop. Then they will decide which quote to take - guess it will be their preferred repairer. Any one have any experience with these panel shops? Any of these have SAU discounts people know of? These are their preferred workshops: - Sheen Panel Service (Sth Melbourne) - Bell Collision Repair Centre (Preston) - AAA Bodyworks (Oakleigh) - Classic Panels (Dandenong) - Westwood Accident Repair Centre (Deer Park) - Precision Body Works (Hoppers Crossing) Cheers.

Alright, cool, thanks, will give Mick a call.

Had an accident earlier today. Some guy was parked in an intersection planning on turning right. We were facing each other and I was going straight. He didn't see me, failed to give way and turned in front of me, and we collided. Idiot claims I ran a red light when I obviously didn't (was yellow). The red light camera at the intersection didn't flash. He seemed really dodgy and will probably try to get one of his friends to be a witness and say that I was at fault. We are both insured, comprehensively for me, not sure for him, but I assume so. Hopefully my insurance company can just sort it out. Damage isn't too bad - looks like just the bodywork/bumper. No leaks. Could still drive it home. Just makes me so mad when other people blatantly lie to your face, trying to blame you for their stupid mistakes.... Does anyone know a good workshop I can take it to be repaired? I live in the south-west so anywhere near is good, but I can travel further if needed. I heard Micolour or DT panels is good. Can they actually make sure nothing's wrong with the mechanicals as well? Thanks.

Yeah, good idea. I would have qualms about parking my car outside for months though. Luckily I have a garage for it.

Blue R33 GTS?T on Vic Pde lunchtime. Had a lot of stickers: CREATD MOTORSPORT, SOMETHING RACING, and FOR SALE

Dude why don't you just get the Nismo or Z-tune style side skirts for the R34 GTT? Doesn't JS Auto make them?

White 4-door R34 GT Vic Pde 6:30 pm.

LOL, yeah truck-spec as you say. Think the o.o is meant to be a face with big eyes, as in surprised. srs = serious?

Should've given it a half-assed try then go for the: "Sorry, ladies, car won't start. You must be freezing out here in your mini-skirts. Why don't we all hop into my 5-seater Stag where it's all nice and warm and cruise to my pad? I'll call my mate with the tow truck - he'll deliver the car fully charged to my doorstep in the morning."

Worped, the angle your shots are taken from ... looks like your suspension's set to "super altitude" ride height man lol

Some countries sell these height-increasing shoes (kinda like high-heels but the whole base is raised). They look super-dorky like orthotic shoes but they can raise your height by around 5-6 cm.

Yeah, people have been doing this overseas (especially in Asia as well) for a while. Puts a new spin on "growing pains". Usually it's men though. Short women have no trouble finding partners whereas short men usually do. It's been proven in sociological studies that taller people are thought to be more attractive, successful and competent, and are thus (sub)consciously treated slightly better by others. However, as with any cosmetic surgery, the main reason to do it is dissatisfaction with self-image.

Just had the car serviced today. My mechanic could not detect any intake leaks and the fuel filter was pristine, so he didn't change it. The mystery continues Still think it has something to do with my faulty boost sensor... Paul, are you talking to me or joeleo87? He lives in Adelaide.
