Doof Wagon would be cool to drive around in, until you mash Slash into the runway overpass on General Holmes Drive.

I don't know if all councils are the same, but we had to get the design of the layback (the ramp that replaces the gutter itself), as well as the concrete from the fence-line to the layback, done by council. They then put their design onto paper for...

Sounds like Reedy's sorted so this isn't necessarily relevant to him, but I've found reverse-in & forward-out to be the best combo on our driveway. We got the widest layback the council would allow, which makes it a bit easier to do both at an ...

While I can't answer electrically, mechanically I've seen a few different shapes. So you'll want to be sure it does physically fit, at the very least.
Surely you can get something that's not OEM but which is correct fitment for your car, and...

Well actually, I think from memory PF717 had this problem at the back …...

Have you tried a 45-degree angle?
A mate has similar centre-caps on his car from the factory, and can be driven out of our driveway at a 45-degree angle from our driveway without scraping ...

In that case it's probably, I guess, something the engineer gets responsibility & liability for ... and either get specs from OS, or get a weighbridge number.
I know that certain things were allowed to be based on records from OS, for example...

For something Odd like this under NCOP, is it valid to get it weighed?
Back in the Olden Days in NSW, remembering that the NCOP rules are very similar to the NSW rules from around 20yrs ago, you had to go by whatever weight the RTA officially had...

^ I guess you could buy it & put all the gear into a proper wagon with a less flaccid wrist?

[Captiva Fan]

Effectively the same positives & negatives of any VAGs with the same powertrains, without quite as good resale as a VW (something which the lower used price offsets somewhat - assuming you're buying used).
A lot of people still say they wouldn't...

WTF?
Gav and vegan?
In the same sentence?
Is that real?!?!
Maybe we're not talking about the same Gavin ... this is Sejanus, yeah?...

Hmmm … also, 15yo car vs 2yo car, things have gotten heavier recently, and I looked it up … SuperGramps isn’t likely to be significantly heavier than the STi. Tare weight of a 2007 GT is actually 40kg less than the Spec R, although with the mods...

Does that work if the restaurant is in a different building (with the lovely setting of the car park) to the boozery & the gaming stuffs?...

[Captiva Fan]

I know the interior isn’t the point of this car … but that colour certainly doesn’t do the dash any favours!...

Given that the only way it can exist for so long is as a money-laundering operation, likely given where it is, we’d all need to pay cash & be sure not to use our real (or screen) names when chatting with each other … you wouldn’t want to be...

Also amused with the discussion of Yummy Restaurant … who hasn’t driven past that place, seen the Open sign & the buffet through the window & the fact there’s never anybody in there … mmmmm, botulism!...

Many giggles at how everyone around Bankstown (ie. Red Zone Core) is psychotically angry.

^ Someone's full of bullshit, that's just a stocker SC430 with Old Man Emu shocks+springs....
