hehe, some russian lady is making and selling these earings... don't ask me how i found this..

Hi guys was getting concerned about the recent activity of us south australians acting irrational :jamie: including myself. Should we have our water tested ??

Here is a transcript from the current Speed Magazine (issue 0:07). I found it absolutely hilarious. They are all real names given to actual production models in Japan. DAIHATSU Rugged Field Sports Resin Top (1997 model): What, did they give these away on Survivor Africa or something? D-Bag: Could stand for Douche-Bag or Dime-Bag, or something else far less appealing than a tea bag. Town Cube (an esky on wheels): A people mover and Rubik's puzzle all wrapped up in one. HONDA Acty Crawler (a six wheel truck with tank-like treads: It'll clean your swimming pool in three hours all by itself. Joy-Machine: Sex on wheels. Available in five-speed manual, four-sp…

G'day guys. Just looking to hear from anyone who's used or heard about these sandblasting kits for air compressors? Mostly just wanting your opinion, What kinda stuff i can do with it and what sorta compressor would be ideal? Also what can you put through them? Does it have to be the powder stuff or can you use like baking soda? I mean for the $50~ I'm not expecting a heap, but mostly i want to do my wheels, engine parts and stuff like that. I have a reasonable compressor, Decent size but i don't want to overload it and have it die.. So yeah, Any details or anything is ideal! Cheers

My wife gave me an early Fathers Day pressie today, a ticket to the Bette Electrical 500 tomorrow. So its off early for a drive to Melbourne. Just wondering if any other Rollaclub members were going and where is the best spot to see the action from as I havent been to Sandown since the JPS BMW's were racing. Shit I feel old now :thumbsup:

Hehehe there is a curbside collection on at aspley and surrounding areas at the moment. Any way what stuff have you scabbed from people ;) In the last kerbside collection I scabbed about 10 microwaves fixed them up and sold them for $20 or so each, the transformers out of TV to make high voltage arks for the hell of it also the transformer out of microwaves endless fun. This yeah I manages to score a fully working lawn mower it even had petrol in it :S all I had to do is clean up the spark lead and it starts easier than our new one.... don't know what ill be planning for that yet ;)

Well since I havent got enough money to build REAL cars yet, at the moment i'm getting into building model cars. I want to make a KE55 model but I have looked every where for a kit, but to no avail... Has anyone bought/known of where to get a KE55 model? Cheers, Dan.

Got an email today asking me if I have bought my camshaft yet. It is an obvious scam and all similar offers received should be ignored (or tell 'em to get f@$ked. Be creative too, they're trying to steal from you!) Tell tale signs are - broken english - A business operator having hotmail or gmail or similar - Contacting from the other side of the world to try to sell something that can be easily gotten here. If they were really in spare parts they'd know that already They will try to get you to send money via Western Union. DON'T DO IT!!!! Here is the email: -- [email protected] Hello Kindly advise if you still need items as requested as I ha…

Was having alook at rolla vids and found this! thought it was pretty kool! Even tho its not a Rolla! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzlTCwy0-_U...ted&search=

So its pretty wet, and very windy tonight, what scary stuff has happened to people and their cars in these sorts of conditions??

I had this sent to me this morning by a colleague... If you have kids/know people who have kids, you need to read this - PLEASE read this Australian Police Officer's story carefully. You can also verify the story at http://www.snopes.com/toxins/dustoff.asp Dust Off (or a variant of the product) is available everywhere there's a computer. First I'm going to tell you a little about me and my family. My name is Jeff. I am a Police Officer for a city which is known nationwide for its crime rate (Brisbane). We have a lot of gangs and drugs. At one point we were # 2 in the nation in homicides per capita. I also have a police K-9 named Thor. He was certified in …

So with the school holidays approaching what do you guys think will be the hottest asked topic? I am guessing that it will be something from 19914afc but every year there is the "how do I go fast" thread that comes up every school holidays.

bullshit cars. http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?...;msg_id=2079707

See the Motorcycle? A picture is worth a thousand words. The Honda rider was travelling at such a 'very high speed', his reaction time was not sufficient enough to avoid this accident. Swedish Police estimate a speed of ~250 KM/h (155 mph) before the bike hit the slow moving car side-on at an intersection. At that speed, they predicted that the rider's reaction time (once the vehicle came into view) wasn't sufficient enough for him to even apply the brakes. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The Volkswagen actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 10 feet from where the collision took place. …

Wile walking back from a friends house about 20mins ago, I saw a shooting start, now you thinking wow that's so crap. But it fell / burnt out like 20m infront of me. That is all

Yeah, I know....I blame the ADD.... ok, I'm willing to sell Jelly in favor of this....It's just the epitamy of '50s atomic funk It's been sitting since '76 and has a hole by #5. It has a slant six for now, and a push putton auto I got it running and was lauging at the crank journal slapping the rod and smacking it into the starter....I will put the 318 into it!

Link to news article This genuinely makes me angry, a complete lack of care or respect for the law and get away with nothing more than a slap on the wrist........ :P Should both be shot for idiocy.......

After all that garbage about the sexualisation of children in Bill Hensen's art and all that jazz I decided to use it as a topic for my Aus Studies Issues Study Assignment. It also made me wonder... How far is too far?? When does art become pornographic? I personally think art is art and it only becomes dangerous to the kids if you can see their privates. Just because I wouldn't like my stuff shown to the world, its private. But their back? or legs? If the naked back of a little girl turns some guy on, what's the problem with it to the rest of the world? Obviously he has problems, but how would that hurt the child?? I'm sure many people look at artistic nudes…

Howdy kids. Just a quick one... Some little f*ckstain has been stealing and re-uploading Teddy's (theauzzylife) content on youtube. If you'd be so kind as to flag/dislike/spam the bejesus out of this particular video, we'd be most appreciative. As would the actual owner of the car, who happens to live at my house. Cheers, your trustworthy uncle Shady :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W28cU3sX3Wc

Mentioned my son's channel last week. Thought I'd throw it up here instead of spamming in someone's tech thread. 😝

Supercar Showdown is back! After a very successful first year, which included overseas awards and recognition, 7mate are proud to announce that the Shannons Supercar Showdown is back for another action-packed season of motorsport! Last year’s winner, 17 year old Cameron Waters, became the youngest driver to ever attend the ‘Great Race’ AKA the Bathurst 1000. Waters piloted the Shannons Mars racing car with vigor, but sadly retired from the race. A great moment during the race was when Waters over steered heavily on exit, looping his V8 Supercar but managing to recover it with incredibly fast counter steering. Here’s a clip of the hairy moment. The pri…

Three contestants remaining, one week left. This is it for the Shannons Supercar Showdown! Samantha Reid’s appearance was short lived as she was eliminated last week on the Shannons Supercar Showdown. Only three contestants remain, with the young gun still in the running to win this year’s competition! It’s Australia VS New Zealand and the battle is going to be fierce. The first elimination task is a simulated race. The contestants are starting to find their way around the Shannons / carsales.com.au V8 Supercar and beginning to feel confident behind the wheel of the 600 horsepower brute. The Kelly brothers will be expecting the three to be able …

The finale is here. It has been 11 weeks in the making, but we’re down to the last leg of the competition! It was 77 days ago that 10 rookie racecar drivers of all description entered the Kelly Racing headquarters in order to pit their skills against each other. As the weeks went past, the contestants toppled and those who kept their cool remained in the competition. Things started to heat up when the Shannons V8 Supercar was introduced. The remaining contestants were driving at 10/10ths in order to stay in the competition, which resulted in the inevitable – plenty of “off-track” action! With Samantha out of the running, last week the boys thou…

The first three weeks of the Shannons Supercar Showdown have been intense. And the fourth week was no different! Last week saw an elimination task involving the contestants battling it out on serious business, Arrow race go-karts. Sarah sadly didn’t achieve up to standards, and was well wished home by her fellow competitors. This week, things have heated up a little more. With a racing icon on the judging panel for week fours elimination challenge, how will everyone perform under his watchful eye? Interested to know who it is? Well you just have to watch the episode! (Video can be found below) Week fours challenge focuses on driver changing – the art…

With only a handful of contestants remaining, we're reaching the back straight of the Shannons Supercar Showdown! After last weeks reward challenge involving the spoken word, this weeks challenge had to change things up a little. The contestants headed to famous Sandown Raceway where they were to partake in a more motorsport related task this week. But, it's not a typical circuit style layout... It's a straight line! The remaining few will need to stage at the line and launch a Renault Megane RS250s over the eighth mile. Reaction times and the ability to launch a vehicle are key factors which will determine who comes out on top. Both of these aspects are…

With week 7 now gone, and a shock double-elimination taking two contestants out of the running, only three people remain in the Shannons Supercar Showdown! This week’s reward challenge focuses on reaction time, and the ability to process visual information. V8 Supercar drivers need keen eyes in order to spot potential collisions, obstacles, and be able to react quick enough to avoid disaster. The last three have to test their skills on a state of the art reaction tester. Not just once however, but twice. After they’ve completed the first task on the reaction tester, the competitor has to take part in a quick exercise circuit before heading back to the ma…

Last week not only saw the contestants from the Shannons Supercar Showdown pilot a V8 Supercar, but it also saw them being introduced to a rather familiar face… The bombshell that was dropped at the end of last week’s episode was a big one. A contestant from series one, all round sweetheart Samantha Reid, had been invited to join the remaining three to compete for the spot in the Kelly Racing V8 Supercar. The more the merrier, right! The reward challenge was held at a fitting venue – A car museum. The remaining contestants got time to have a look at the rare old metal on display, clearing their minds before the reward challenge. What is the task? Simple …

lulz . not work safe!

Your wife decides to go out with her friends drinking and dancing. You're okay with it, because you get to watch sports all night! You hear her stumble into bed around 4:00am. You wake up the next morning and go outside to the family Volvo, which she used last night. You are happy to see it all in one piece. But wait a minute...

Just priced shipping on a solid gearbox mount for my car. Item is $50US, shipping is $63US. Why don't they just say "no, I wont ship internationally?" $63, and its no bigger than a spindle of CDs. Idiots. Anyone seen anything similar? Seems like it happens on every second item I query.

http://www.shitboxrally.com.au/ Guys at work have been talking about this. Next year is sold out, but I'm considering 2012

All, Myself and two mates are taking part in the shitbox rally. 7 days from Melbourne to Cairns in a KE35 via Camerons corner in april. Yes, three grown lads in a '35 from bottom to the top in a week. We NEED donations (to the cancer council) as it is a 4 grand minimum. All donations over 2 bucks are tax deductible. The car is? My old hardtop. If you have a business and donate over 100 bucks you'll get a sticker on the beast. Please give. I'll post a heap of pics for shits and giggles that go with it. http://www.everydayhero.com.au/mike_and_the_mechanics Bamboo
