farkin christmas presents. Could have spent that money on something more useful.... like on my car

On another note; found 55pounds from last holiday on my prepaid travel credit card. winning!

Man I'm watching my bank account drop its fkn annoying. Especially that I only get paid monthly.

Yeh my Missus has the rx8 GT 2nd gen. The last one actually. Bit slow, but I still like it. Great fun to drive

Yeah I didn't mint it to be honest, he's a very big unit though so always good to give him a tease about it. Looks very funny driving it.

It was pretty quick, handled very well I thought. Definitely not used to that sort of power delivery though. Reckons it does 0-100 in about 6.2? Or something along those lines. Found that pretty surprising but I'd be keen to see what it can do on a track.

Ahh okay excellent, do you remember roughly what kilometres that was done at? I just ticked to 150,xxx so it's on my mind

im pretty sure it was nearly spot on 100K

ahah yeah i can understand

im about to start collecting parts for my next 100K

[Count Grantleyish]

Sounds fun Anthony.

There's Trust T78 kit for $3.5k... Pretty tempting.

I think it takes a little longer than that.. But yeh I'm really keen to throw it at a deca or something but she'll never let me lol

[PENGUYEN]

Anyone got a dremel I can borrow to shave off a little piece of metal?

[Miguelone]

Just use a file and put your arm into it.

Just an update on the car

Looks as though the theif thrashed the car on 91 Octane which may have led to the car breaking down

No biggie engine is covered under insurance. So rebuild here I come

[Sunkist]

That's awesome! They've agreed for a rebuild?

[blah_blah]

Not yet.

Still waiting to get the car inspected by justcars, then Im going to get it inspected independently.

Process might take about 2-3 weeks as everyone is closed or on holiday.

Mechanical is covered under insurance, so if its a blown engine then yeah new engine rebuild

[UNR33L]

Had a rolling with Leigh...1.5 car lengths, I'm happy with that!

Lol we gotta go for longer next time

good fun though, makes me want to go out looking for races tonight - would be interesting to see flat road and like a 30km/h roll on I reckon! let me know if you feel like shenanigans later

Did cross my mind, ill wait and see what just cars say

[Count Grantleyish]

lol do it

Then I'd need to get bigger injectors, up rated afm, clutch, and spare $ for rebuild in case mine dies...

Not a bad way to piss money down in the drain!

Would if it wasn't cop season...get the feeling the defect squad will be out in force with holiday season. Gotta protect the people from front mount intercoolers and paint chips.

I was thinking of heading down Prinny (bro) later with a few of the ford forum boys, but yeah they'll be major cop action later.

For those of you round Donny (bro) there were a couple of HP cars between the Blackburn Rd exit on the Eastern and Doncaster road. On the access road.

[Birds]

Hardly anyone out anyway, just came back from drying off car. Nothing but really slow and irritating drivers.
