so its gone now then?

yeah, was gunna be mine, but ended up to much work, in parts by now.

bugger. they make great daily drivers coz they are damn reliable. its one of the reasons i have the xd and use it as a daily. this car has been the biggest pain in the arse ever i think, but i do over 1000km in it a week with work and stuff and it doesnt get a lot of maintainence. ive put the best part of 130,000km on it in the 2 years ive had it, and its only on its 3rd motor, 4th gearbgox and 3rd diff................

but, the xd we had before this one never had a spanner on it. it got converted from auto to manual within a month of us getting it, and we literally drove the arse off it for 2 years straight. multiple trips interstate, and it got flogged hard every time the key got turned. that car still has its original motor in it with atleast 400,000km on it and it will still blow the doors clean off this one. both cars are 6 cyl.

the best daily driver ive ever experienced was a nissan kingcab ute. no matter what you through at it or in it just kept running with crap all maintainence

no?

LMAO! i like that one glenn.

Question In Vic what do people think is the best road or route for cruising?

i thought it was great ocean road, or out to portalighton and back out from queenscliff. there the best roads to sit on 110 and blow the cobb webs out.

not much of a footy bloke xm? i prefer sinkin' a few when bathurst is on lol.

aldi worksite? THERES MORE OF THESE PLACES!? lol

yeah im with you on that glenn. ive got better things to do than waste time with it, and im sick to death of hearing about it.

hmm fair enough, i never was much of a footy fan, tinkering with the UC torana or XE as a kid lol (it wasnt a starfire, my family isnt sick in the head lol)

and there apprently an aldi going up in west geelong, across from safway? or is it coles? meh, its on shannon ave though. hahaha

Which drivers do people think are going to win bathurst this year

I Predict

1. Lowndes/skaife

2. Whincup/ Thompson

3. Winterbottom/ Richards

Too true glen, unfortunately it's a common theme across majority of motorsport

I'd love AVESCO to drop the whole V8 Supercars regime all together, it has run it's course and people just arn't interested anymore. I reckon they should revive the old Group C days or atleast something similar. The cars you see on the track were very much the cars you see on the road. And manufactures produced cars like the GT-HO and the brocky commodores so they could get the trick parts on the track, and as a result we got them on the road I even liked the idea of Group A racing, but reality is Australians don't like losing, especially to the japanese. Nissan R32 GT-R 1 - Australian Group A Racing 0. V8 supercars was intersting for the first 5 years or so, but now I'd prefer to watch slotcar races
