Damo & Chronic, nice finds boys but I won't even look at a GTR unless it's a V-Spec and mint late model V-Specs are indeed rare.

Pete:

My dad recently bought a 200 series cruiser GXL also (TTV8D), nice car! Fuel consumption isn't as great as toyota lead you to believe, BUT your right, enough torque to pull a house down

When pulling his 2T (fully loaded) camper trailer around NT/QLD mid last year he was averaging about 18L/100 from memory, whereas unloaded he would get about 12L/100. That was sitting on Highway speeds whenever possible, and more often than not 80+ on the dirt "highways".

Nice cars though

christ.............thats f**king good consumption right there, and i am surprised at the weight u said it is.

my GQ is 2.8 tonnes, and ive got half the displacement and a third of the torque you do LOL. however im getting good economy from mine. averaging 11L/100 around town and 13-15L/100 towing the trailer and drift car around

someone find me a 200 series front cut............im doing an engine swap haha

[scandyflick]

tis a little unfortunate to see you sellin the line... anyone wanna spot me $55k?

[Ryanrb25]

I've always been around them but since starting my new job i have gain even more respect for Diesels. I worked on a truck the other day with a torque rating of 2200Nm at 1400RPM and 460HP. The turbo was a foot in diametre lol.

[SLED]

haha, that's great.

When I worked at Adelaide Engine we used to sell second hand Scania & Volvo pistions for $20 as they made great ashtrays (ie. the combustion chamber is built into the top of the piston).

THE BEST COMEBACK LINE...

For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an "Australian treasure!"

General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. You'll love his reply to the lady who

interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws

you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion of an ABC

interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to sponsor a

Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:

So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:

We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:

Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:

I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:

Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:

I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:

But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:

Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended

Cossie's a champ... one of the few senior officers in the command division that follows the rules of the Military before the rules of Politics (aka not Chris Barrie)

[heslo]

Haha, pure gold! She was looking for a reaction and she certainly got one alright!
