"Going to weld up a titanium cage for it cos it'll be an 8 second car" (Back when sub 10 seconds in a street car was virtually unheard of apart from Bertolucci's Falcon)"Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?" "Whats that?" "A fantastic bike," I said. "The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."

[QUOTE=dirtyrex;842511984I presume most men who drive convertibles to be gay :D[/QUOTE]Originally posted by dirtyrex View PostI presume most men who aren't interested in cars to be gay :D
Either would have worked...
Something that happens to me occasionally, is that I'll be googling something, dig up a 10-15 year old thread on some forum, scanning through the responses for what I need, and find one that just enrages me because it is either complete bullshit, or worse, a complete inability to listen to someone elses advice....
And then I'll see that it was me who posted it.
I'm so sorry internet.Originally posted by myshortyboombaI've had many gauges in cars. I always found the conrods react faster than a gauge.
you can always hear them when they break and they stop the engine immediately so you can't do any more damage.

If theyre not the owner of something like Bill Bourkes 429 Falcon they can STFU cause shit like that was still pretty rare back in those days.Originally posted by Spammy View PostLost count of how many Ford owners who have boasted that their [insert model here] Falcon had a whole bunch of rare options/ specs because it was built for the MD /Head of Ford/ Colonel Sanders etc etcSutherland Shires #1 Escort? is that like being the 4th best prostitute in Kazahkstan?

ex-Mother in-law used to crap on about using her work's Statesman 'Olympic Edition', feeling so priviliged to drive a car of such high esteem.
I've seen it in person. It's been beaten from pillar to post, allegedly by her
A 2000 model Stato is nothing too flash. Perhaps if it were a Grange with all the fruit, I'd have shown a small amount of enthusiasm for it.

People who think Tempe spec wheels, ugly body kits that have been poorly colour matched, and a pod filter from Supercheap qualifies as "Tuning".Jaguar XJR, Freelander 2 HSE, Jaguar XKR, MINI Cooper S

Ive been driving my step dads TD Gemini for a few months and everytime I park it somewhere I can hear the thongs slapping and smell the Winnie blues coming over to have a talk about their brothers mates cousins Gemini that has a big block/LS/SR20/truck turbo etc etc. Its got a small cam, head work, carb and exhaust so makes ok noise but very frustrating when I just want to get to work without the shit talk. Its more of a bogan magnet than anything.

I had a ZH Fairlane that was an ex dealer principles car - the colour code was "special order" - Daimler blue or something. A mate had a XH XR8 ute that had leather trim - another ex dealer principle special order.Originally posted by sirhsv View PostIf theyre not the owner of something like Bill Bourkes 429 Falcon they can STFU cause shit like that was still pretty rare back in those days."Where can we get hold of a Vincent Black Shadow?"

Wasn't referring to trim moreso mechanical stuff like hotted up engines etc. Fairlane in Daimler blue sounds neat.Originally posted by Gammaboy View PostI had a ZH Fairlane that was an ex dealer principles car - the colour code was "special order" - Daimler blue or something.

Yeah, would have looked great, except it had been repainted black at some point. I probably should have kept that one. Cunt who bought it for $1500 repainted it, bagged it, put godawful chromies on it and sold it for 10k - claiming it was factory back and had a recently rebuilt motor. Stock 150,000km 302 with too much cam, a holley, extractors and an ATF flushout was more like it.Originally posted by sirhsv View PostWasn't referring to trim moreso mechanical stuff like hotted up engines etc. Fairlane in Daimler blue sounds neat.
