lol @ buying a skyline as a daily. there's much newer, better cars that will be more reliable than the blast from the 90's.

Off it's tits modded Skyline for the weekend, modern car with luxuries and less headaches for the weekday.

Until you drive a post 2000 designed and built (that doesn't include R34) euro or japanese car over a week you won't realise how much stuff you're missing out on cos you're holding onto 90's tech.

Shit like being able to program the car to lock its doors and wind the windows up if your transponder goes out of range. Or even bluetooth connectivity to your Android or iPhone. Or remembering seat and mirror positions for two people based on which key unlocks it as standard. Auto dipping headlights. Xenons as standard. etc etc.

So my AU is pretty much f**ked! I'm hoping it can last until the new year.

Been thinking about Mazda 3 SP23's. CBF with another import, and want something that's not super boring.

MPS?

are you serious? when we had a cement truck decide to go straight through a stop sign we hit him at about 90km/h and if we didnt have those airbags my dad and little brother wouldn't be here today so id prefer to have a car with airbags than none because anything can happen when your driving.

yeah airbags ftw

dont need an s class, my lexus has that, most bmws/audis/merc will offer that these days some are options but still pretty common.

dunno why ford/holden are still stuck in teh 90s with the crap they are offering up to the local market its a joke really.

    • Yours would only have been worse, because I've spent 2 weeks cleaning mine. And yet it barely looks any different... Ha ha ha The work bench is unusable as things are stacked so high on it, as it down each walk way between the cars. And on one of them. And inside the other... And under one of them... These days when working in the garage, I need to roll the Subaru out. Because the "workshop" portion is just so full of stuff... To do anything means to move lots of stuff...   But I recently got rid of a full rack of fish tanks, and a few more. Then have started just throwing shit that's actual rubbish. And trying to sort everything else! Ha ha ha   Needing to move the Lathe into its proper spot, and then move all the other gear like the press, compressors, welding trolleys.   And let's not talk about the camping gear... I want to get rid of it, the GF wants to go camping... I think I'm getting to old to want to camp these days   Oh, I also evicted a few things, like the motorbike outside ages ago too! Ha ha ha This is all in a 6x9
    • The end of 2024 fast approaches!!! So before the 'storm' hits, we think it's worth enjoying a little 'calm'! How better to enjoy some calm with a chill social out at Aqua Golf! So without any ado, here are the details: Date: Saturday 26th October 2026 Location: Aqua Golf - Penrith Panthers Time: 5:00pm Map: http://tinyurl.com/saunsw-aquagolf All you need to do is bring yourselves down to Penrith Panthers to come and say "HI", hang out, and maybe hit a few golf balls at the drive range. Who knows where the night may take us... What we do know is that there are plenty of food options available at the Penrith Panthers complex. For those of us keen to hit a few golf balls, prices start from $7.00 a bucket. Aqua Golf is open til late, so we have plenty of time to have a few hits and laughs with each other! This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.
