jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

:rofl: Too funny. Unfortunately all of our M35's are auto, so we cant have such fun :( I think my missus would love the challenge I was able to do something similar though.

just got my new clutch installed and gave the missus a try at driving it, she bunny hopped first, stalled on the change to second, restarted, stalled first. put the hazards and handbrake on (leaving the car in the lane) jumped out and told me that she wasn't driving my car again cause it was s**t and didn't speak for the rest of the way home. lol

haahah i can see that happening in my head.. just needs the classis "stop yelling at me, its tooo hard to concentrate with you yelling in my ear"

LOL, you should have said "not with that negative attitude, you're not" then laughed. Shame on her lack of commitment! :D

Hahaha. It sounds like your partners are opposite to my misses. She likes to give the 260RS a bit of a flogging and stir up the odd bogan. I bought her a Mini Cooper S with JCW kit and she complains it's too slow. Hits her favourite corner on the way home and has the traction control light flashing :)

Now we just bought an old Ford GT40 replica as a project car. That should be fun :)

So good when I was borrowing my housemates stag the other day, he told me to park it in the multi-story behind his work and there just happened to be a spare spot with a volvo v70 next to it in the same colour as his stag! Epic trolls, he was sad.

hehehehe, bloody nice car though :D

OK, as requested. It's not in great shape, but it's gonna be an awesome project.

It actually has a 350 Chev. Some people would say this is sacrilege, but who cares.

Needs moar 427c.i :thumbsup:

= awesome project!

just got my stagea last weekend and in the space of less than a week, i saw at least 1 volvo v-series wagon everyday...thought wtf is going on here?

then today went to one of my usual workshop to machine the rear rotors, the guy said to me that he thought it was a volvo...i just grinned and remembered how every other m35 owner has their first 'i thought it's a volvo' moment :D

  • 3 weeks later...

I just bought my Stagea in Melbourne on Friday. Went out to tea that evening and came back to the room to find a letter under the door:

"Mr Marshall,

We believe you are the owner of a White Volvo Registration ***-***.

Please note your headlights have been left on.

Kind Regards,

Reception"

That has to be some sort of record in Stagea-Volvo confusion! In my defence, it was only the inside light, not the headlights :P

had a few moments in the last week...

Had a mate from training giggling telling me it sounded like the starship enterprise on boost more than a volvo...

Had someone ask if it was a hearse the other night too... 5 years after buying it and I still love the attention it gets from randoms. Lol.

some seedy dude in dandenong told me he wanted to rear end my volvo. i drove off as quickly as i could.

:rofl2::whistling:

Classic.

Yep. I the short time I've had my car not one person has guessed its a Nissan. Pretty much all of them thought it was a Volvo. Its actually starting to shit me off a bit!

For some reason my mates missus thought my stag was a kia!!?? WTF?

Did ask him if he was going to slap her or if i should..

LOL, that's almost a justifiable reason to hit a woman! 'Sif Kia... :(

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
