Sound spot on in all respects...nothing like a nice view while your eating

Sad thing is I'm way way over the s.e, I don't get over that side too often... but next time I'm out that way I'll definately check it out.

Cheers

SUV's

[funkymonkey]

real aussies don't drive SUV's they drive Forbee's Middle aged mums with horrible driving skills drive SUV's.

lol good luck trying to say "I gotta put gas in my Skyline" with a straight face in Melbourne... we still use natural gas, and that's not what you'd put in a performance car.

fender's one of those interchangeable ones... as I've heard it used in the colonies too.

get this though... in the UK they call widebody guards "wide arch kits". lol.

[LTHLRB]

unless you have a straight gas r33 with 300kw that would be tough and the EPA and TMU will be cursing! freaking cops... cops of men!

americans are stupid full stop.. seriously.. SUV.. they arnt even SPORTY!! get urself a hilux.. put a 2jzgte with a t78 on the bastard and thats sport!!

guilty of fenders

[funkymonkey]

you're also guilty of neons in a skyline

One of my best mates is a mechanic and at his workshop one day Nova came down and was doing a big promotion for gas conversions for cars.

They actually had a Skyline come into their garage who has done a complete gas conversion (cant even run off petrol anymore, solely gas), and they actually produced more power with no other modifications. Supposedly if you do a full conversion properly (changing injectors, etc) to only run gas, your car will put out more power, and of course be cheaper to run in the end.

Food for thought

LOL.. good call

[LTHLRB]

yeah LPG has a higher octane rating than petrol... if i had the cash i would run a straight gas r33.. and cops cant touch ya.. DUNN DUN DUN DUN CANT TOUCH YA... STOP HAMMERTIME

i use the term fender, but that is only when talking about motorbikes. on cars they are still guards

[VB-]

watch a few eps of top gear and you'll see not all those terms arent as american as you think

Clarksons a nub...always has been. I spent a fair bit of time in the uk car scene and being of welsh/english origins It saddens me to see Englishmen adopting Americanisms just as much as we do here. He's an amusing presenter but when it comes to vehicle knowledge and practical application of it he's a tit head who doesnt know his arse from his elbow. The same goes for May and Hammond to differring degrees.

Wtf sure you dont mean fairings?

[Roy]

Hey I am as guilty as the next guy as i don't proof read my posts and my typing is terrible. But what does bother me is the rather ordinary spelling on forums. Add to that all the terms and bitchery of the English language because we are too lazy to type an extra letter of three.

Fairing is the body work that protects the rider from the wind (round engine, up side, over instruments etc), Guards are th bits over the wheels.

I use wing mirrors, that's what I always called them, I suppose because I always called the fenders/guards 'wings', and that's where the mirrors started out before more modern cars moved them to the door. (probably just a UK thing)
