yeah only had the car a few days and was pissed, i was on my way back from melbourne and seen a car covered up on the back of a tow truck. we pulled up next to the lights and the wheels had the spokes bolted to the hub and the rest of the wheel was gone. you could just make out the prancing horse in the centre of the wheel and the duct to the rear was the only way we could tell what it was.

Yeah, abalonie company owner, has several companies, car had 200km on the clock, 4 days old - has another on order already as a mate of mine knows his finance manager - this was his 7th ferrari apparently and has another one on order now ... Heard conflicting stories re alcohol, but city newspaper reported him as being charged with drink driving ... you can just tell he was pedal to the metal by just looking at the skidmarks, the 20m embankment he cleared and the additional 80m he slid and got airborne .... what a waste ! I heard on "Fresh-FM" he was from kingscote .... Other rumor i heard was he was racing a maserati or something at the time ...

Abalonie company owner ='s shite loads of $$$ About the only things he'd be worried about is the DUI & his bruised ego.

My old man owns a pro game fishing business (& a crayfishing licence) plenty of $$$ in the pro fishing game - IF you're in charge.

Wouldn't mind the brakes off the F360 if they're going cheap? :(

man i personally know the copper who booked this rich bastard and he was doing about 220kms slid for more than 250metres was pissed blew .21 and his insurance company doesn't want to know him

more money than brains sukkd in old man 52 yrs of age and pissed driving a 360 modena = 360 on roof in a vineyard

would have been worse if he hit someone else

this wanka just wasted $378k

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
