They are stunning wheels. GLWS.

Forza 5 does lift off oversteer incredibly well. I can only assume GT6 is somewhat similar.

*nods* Drool indeed.

Bang, you nailed it completely.

Dude, you're arguing with someone who stated a lack of "race bred technology" as a reason he's not sad to see them go....you're wasting your breath. Both Holden and Ford make/made extremely high quality products packed with features for the price. Problem is they were competing in a jam packed market segment. They should have gone after BMW/Mercedes/Audi years ago.

Ford floated the idea of the Focus, but it's simply too expensive to manufacture over here. IMO what they should have done is up the ante and compete with the likes of BMW and Mercedes. We are actually very good at making cars and if Ford/Holden upped the quality everywhere and targeted the $60k range I reckon they would have grown their market over time. But Ford and Holden competed with budget cars which they can't do as they cost more to make. The Aussie bogan is cashed up these days and they now drive Euros, not because they are relatively better than Ford/Holdens but because they are simply more expensive. If the average Falcadore was sumptuous leather clad with all the electro bells and whistles and commanded $60k to start with, I reckon they would have sold like hotcakes. Look at the G6 series Falcons as an example. You had to queue to get one. They couldn't build them fast enough. But it's done now and the big engined Aussie RWD will soon be a footnote in the history books.

Well, it's a sad day, IMO. Holden has announced it will cease manufacturing here in 2017. With Ford already on the way out, Toyota will not be far behind. The industry employs some 45,000 people in AU, most will be out of work, many are older and will struggle to find decent work ever again. To anyone who thinks this is a good thing because now the government won't keep throwing money at the industry, I implore you to read this article by Tim Colebatch: http://www.theage.com.au/federal-politics/political-opinion/pms-decision-on-cars-means-hard-times-ahead-20131209-2z1kt.html For those who don't know Tim Colebatch, he is one of the countries most well regarded economists and renown for honest and open discussion on the economy. He's non-partisan and respected by all sides of politics. For those looking for a solid long term investment, go grab yourself a specced HSV or FPV and park it in a well sealed shed somewhere. Pull it out in 40 years and retire comfortably on what you'll be able to sell it for. EDIT: that was meant to say 2017

Hey Sam, who do you aggregate through? To Jarret, if Sam isn't practical due to geographic location, let me know where you are and I'll put you in touch with a finance broker. Also you won't get 5%. Expect closer to 10%.

Played Forza 5 on mates Xbone today.....played for about 30 minutes...best racing sim ever. And the Kinect is f**king awesome. The voice command works incredibly well, as does the gesturing.

Nope. The extra threads are of little use to games. Save the cash and put it towards a better GPU. GPU is where it's at for gaming.

Are you on Win 8.1? Is it a legit version? I've found that issue has started since I upgraded. I use Chrome and I can't paste into windows where I otherwise would have been able to. I think it's cause I haven't yet activate my Win 8 license.

That garage seal would be a shite load easier. If it doesn't work, try something a little more involved.

I want that shit on my helmet visor.

Finished the campaign on the weekend. It was good, but as per Beef3 too short and a bit underwhelming. In fact I think it was more underwhelming than Beef3 single player. COD Single Player Campaigns flog the shit out of Beef. Beef multiplayer dominates COD though.

You can't assign that manually?

Does SAU have a bank account? If so, can you post the details here? Perhaps then we could post a donation with our username as a way of ID'ing ourselves?

Is it possible to get a mixed pair? ie. Bride Vios III for me and a Bride Low Max Gias Sport Style for the missus? Also, do they make rails to suit?

I get one of the cheap Android ones like this: http://www.mobicity.com.au/asus-me172v-memo-pad-8gb-wifi.html#.UnIn6vlmigI Even the real cheap ones perform really well. http://www.harveynorman.com.au/amicroe-touchtab-s-tablet.html Perhaps try and pick up a second hand Nexus 7. My wife has one and it's a cracker. I reckon you'd get one on Fleabay for ~$120 mark. If the budget stretches to a Nexus 7 2 that'd be even better. I've got one and it's brilliant. It's my first foray into a real tablet (I have a Surface Pro as well) and I love it. The 1080 screen is mad.

I play now and then. I suck at it. I haven't really got my head around it - When I play PVP games everyone yells at me for being a noob I go Sniper and take the middle lane and make good progress, but apparently there's something else I should be doing....I just don't know what it is.

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was possibility of an improved classified forum? Perhaps something like this - http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/4037-classifieds/ I'm willing to make a $100 donation to cover the cost plus some

Any movement on the donations page?

Where they are quite a bit slower than the other cars but way more fuel efficient so don't have to stop as often. It's not the torque which makes them competitive.

K'n hell. How many million revs is that thing pulling as it crosses the line? Sounds awesome.

Do you still have the brakes?

Give Des a call - (03) 9879 3545 - and ask. You'll need to find someone to fit it, if you're not able to. I can't see that costing much. There's maybe a couple hours in fitting.
