Are you buying this Matty???? http://www.j-spec.com.au/featured/1956-Mercedes_Benz-300SL_gullwing-15418.html

[Matty 31]

Nope

Theres a Morris Mini 1100 Deluxe on the horizon though. Found out i dont have to go through any sort of Regency inspection either (its been outta rego since 96). Gotta do a few things to it, so might take a few weeks of work to get it up and going, but be stoked. Getting some laughs at the stuff i can buy

why dont you just finish the gtr? haha!

thats in the pipeline too. starting to get hold of stuff. be good to have a cheap fun car too

(one that i can fix by the side of the road cos theres literally only about 3 things in the whole electrical system LOL)

[Madaz]

lol, bogan spec if every i have seen it

<<Click

[Nightcrawler]

^^^ lol $15k? Does it come with an R32GTR thrown in? You will notice there are no pictures inside the engine bay - I can only imagine what it looks like. Seriously, you could buy a stock wagon for $1k, spend $2k doing the paint and bits yourself and you have the same car .... what a joke

[Madaz]

yeah its an epic fail

This should really have its own thread but as long as everyone sees this it won't make much difference.

This is a must see on the TRUTHS of Carbon Tax.

Notice how we have changed our language in the past year or 2 from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change".....because the former was a lie and there is now evidence by an independent group of international scientists that have given evidence that the earth has in fact cooled in the last century.

The Carbon Tax scheme is nothing more that a Wealth Tax to feed Global Banks and will see the same trouble in Europe's economy filter out to Aust......yet we as a whole country have the lowest carbon emissions on the planet.....go figure?!!

Truth about Carbon Tax

I heard something on the radio about 9 out of 10 families better off under Carbon tax.. I punch in figures on the carbon tax website. I'm worse off by a little under $600/year. Fail.

[Tangles]

no-one will be better off with the carbon tax.

Utility rates will rise again (gas/electricity/water), as will your general goods we all buy day-in day-out.

Its a SHAM and nothing less. An absolute disgraceful government to push this Carbon tax to go-ahead without the say of the people they govern for.

If it went to the polls it'd be squashed flat.

At least with the GST people power had a say in the matter.

[Nightcrawler]

You haven't even heard the start of it yet Jenna - if the website says you will be $600 worse off, you can easily quadruple that or more methinks .... once the tax filters down at reach level of production, transport, wholesale and sale the prices of everything will increase significantly. Then as inflation rapidly rises the RBA needs to increase interest rates so rent/mortgages go up (they are linked), etc etc.

Plus, as the video points out, $23 is the STARTING price of carbon - it will rapidly increase without cap.

you going to put in a 1275 or go all the way and go 1380 with twin 1 1/2 su's or doce 45 weber??

i had the 1380 in my old min and snapped the crank:)

[SLED]

Tangles, the last 2 lines of your post should've been highlighted and written in block letters!!!

Shame so many Labour voters failed to recognize such a valid truth!!

as this is goin to be my daily / fun car (got the full focus on the GTR for fast duties), it'll probably go 1275 eventually. dad and i are goin halves in it, and we've both agreed (as much as replicas shit us no end) that we'll probably build a cooper s replica with disc brakes all round, coilovers, and a really hot 1275. probably have a big single weber on it, as no doubt twin su's will be a bitch to tune.

its gonna be one step at a time, get the stuff on the "needs" list all done (brake system will need all the bits replaced after sitting for so long), then do the "wants" list
