Rollaclub Social (Off-Topic)

RIP Marco!! Will be a tragic loss to the MotoGP community. Stu.

hey guys and gals of rollaclub. i have actually been thinking about this for a while, and thought i might as well put a up a topic for it. would anyone be keen on a campout one weekend? which would include some rally/dirt drifting/bush bashing? my parents own 90 acres just outside of warwick, which is mostly flat paddock except for a few washouts and contour banks. me and my mates have spent our fair share of time flogging cars around the bush out there, i don't think they would mind a few more =) its just a thought, some members on here may have not even had the priveledge to experience this before.

this thread may struggle massively but hey worth a crack. now I know a lot of us have a problem with addiction to corollas. for example I finally convinced myself to buy a wrx instead of an old corolla so it kept the parents happy and I had modern luxuries. but now I can't do it and it looks like I'll be buying another corolla because I think secretly I love the little tricks and problems of old cars! NOW I'd love to hear some funny stories of stupid things some of you other blokes have done that you probably shouldn't have that's related to cars. not necessarily just corollas. now GO!

I thought i would start a thread where we could post up photos of cars that we think are just fantastic looking. beautiful looking cars, that you just look and and say "wow that looks good". now id like to try and keep this to factory cars, or only mildly modified. the car could be absolute garbage, unreliable, but if it looks fantastic, post it up. no limit on age, ok go! ill start off with a few of my favourites: Astin Martin DB4GT Zagato (all Astins look good, but this one especially) mercdedes 300 SL triumph TR4a and of course one of the most beautiful cars of all time. the ferraro 250GTO

Jobs, who underwent an operation for pancreatic cancer in 2004 and a liver transplant in 2009, had remained with Apple as chairman of the board of directors. Apple released a statement confirming Jobs' death. "We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today," the statement said. "Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve.

Just a quick hello, and to say sorry, as you will soon see a thread about a Toyota Liteace ;D Reason you will see the thread is that its fitted with the 5K engine and after doing a compression test on it, it wont start, so thought it best to try asking on a Toyota forum that knows of these engines and the ignition side of things If this isnt okay please let me know, as i don't want to annoy :)

OK, The Boss said we could discuss this here, as he cringes everytime I give the Govt a big, well-deserved slap in someone else's thread. Not that it will stop me doing that, but here we can argue without ruining someone's build topic. So, I'm an Anarcho-capitalist, an anarchist who believes in a free market. Maybe at a squeeze a Libertarian, they think there is a role for a Govt in protecting us from each other, but not from ourselves. First up, anarchy is a state of NO RULERS, not NO RULES! Many people who hear the term write it off as some wild place with people doing as they want. No, if you want a quick introduction, read this comic- and rea…

Just a curiosity topic/post, Post what you're listening to right now or what and who you enjoy listening to. I mainly listen to metal and bands like Periphery and Animals as Leaders. What's in your ears Rollaclub?

Hey guys, I know i'm probably asking the wrong kind of people but if there's anyone out there that plays guitar(please!)then chime in. Alright so, been saving for a while now and the time has come for me to purchase one of two things. Problem is, they're both so god damn appealing and i don't know which way to go. Choices are; 1, found an FR 4ag, buy it and do conversion in KE70 or option 2, buy new Ibanez RGD2127Z guitar and finally jam the f@$k out on a decent rig. Decisions, decisions. What do you reckon Rollaclub members?

Hahahh. Well guys, all that goes around, comes around. That implying as i no longer work on cars full time has.. how do you say.. Sparked the hobby love back to what it was, many moons ago. And as a hobby i hope it stays, this referring to cars. So. I'm Currently in Canada, But returning to Down under after many months O/S. The last week in October this year, 2011, Myself and a hand full of us are doing a rather Large Road trip from Brisbane to Cairns, in a selection of.. well, unsavoury vehicles. It will be slow. It will be hilarious. It will be totally recorded, blogged and broadcast. It will be the start of something.. quuuite interesting. …

just got down a good copy of this and within 15 mins of the film, my runs in, wondering what i'm cheering about. she comes and sees me jumping for joy, yelling"haha omg, its a datto..! wooh" sure enough there is 'Bumblebee', as a P510(wont spoil how/why its a datto), as his daily driver. link to onset pics/vids: http://japanesenosta...sformers-3-set/ apologies if you already know. tis news to me :-)

Having a house with several rooms stacked floor to ceiling with books, I ponder that their must be others out there that like a good read. What are you reading? What have you just read? What are you about to read? Where they any good? I've just finish a Charles Stross' "The Jennifer Morgue". Weird, demonological, and overall not a bad read. I would summorise the plot but I still can't work it out myself. Pegged for a re-read. Currently reading Nevil Shute "A town like Alice". An old favourite. I usually read this about once a year. About to read Anthony Burgess "Clockwork Orange". I'm puting off this one until I get over this illness I have. I'…

I know we have a video thread, but this is just WOW! Make sure you make it HD and fullscreen! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74mhQyuyELQ

http://bigpondnews.com/articles/Entertainment/2011/09/16/Gordon_Ramsay_dwarf_double_found_eaten_662353.html “A dwarf porn star who was a dead ringer for celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has been found dead in a badger’s den in the UK, according to tabloid reports. The reports say UK Ministry of Agriculture experts discovered the 3’6” body of Percy Foster ‘deep in an underground chamber’, ahead of a planned badger-gassing program near Tregaron, Wales. The body of the actor, who starred in such X- rated films as Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, It’s Up Your Ae We Go, was reportedly found ‘partially eaten’ in the chamber - but investigators have not ruled out the possibility of …

I'm prepared to moderate it myself as a perpetual experiment which will continue so long as people can follow the thread guidelines/rules.

hey guys, just watched a video today about the september 9/11 attacks. It was called 'loose change', it goes on about how they whole thing was planned by the american goverment to get out of its debt and invade other countries. I found it very interesting and could see why people think it was cause by the government not terrorists as you see parts of the building explode no where near where the plane hit, and so forth. Just wanted to see what other peoples thought on this were? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7E3oIbO0AWE here is the link.

Well seems this is fast approaching and after the naming of the Wallabies Squad, and re-signing of their New Zealand coach, seems critics are jumping all over this one, Horwill to captain and Giteau sits at home Couple more tri nation matches, seems NZ could take the silverware The Saffas seem to be at a lost, but never doubt the Irish or the Frogs, Azzuri are an unusual team, and Japan has the tactics but no aggression (or size for that matter) but ill be keeping an eye on Samoa, gotta have huge boost since their win over the Wallabies, now the USA, powerhouse and are still in development, watch this space from them NZ for the win

Does anyone want an invite? I've got 150. PM me.

A mate of mine sent me this link today, he is looking at buying a first generation honda. Thought i would share it here. The honda CVCC engine, certainly no power house, debut in 1975, and using quite an interesting way of reducing emissions. have a good read of this, veerry interesting. http://www.1stgencivic.com/world/c1zr/m1/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12770 There is a concept around known as the "homogeneous charge combustion igntion" (HCCI), which is basically a cross between a compression ignition engine (diesel) and a spark ignition engine (petrol). in which the fuel air mixture is pre mixed (like a petrol), but then is ignited via compression (like a dies…

Am i the only one that has the piss taken out of them for owning/liking corollas? Not only friends but people in general scoff at me when i say i'm into rollas, like i'm supposed to follow the hoards of other bogans driving their commonwhores and falcoons. I mean i've had 4 commodores, i just prefer corollas.

So a few people have asked the question recently about donations and I thought I'd post this just to let the wide community know what the deal is. First, I feel I should explain why I took the donations link down. It would have happened around September last year, when I did a major software update and didn't restore it. A few years ago (2007ish) Rollaclub was less than 1/4 the size it is now. We used very little hosting resources and thus the cost was very low. The few donations we received covered the costs comfortably. A year later we had doubled in size and so had the hosting costs. I think this is roughly when I started running with some advertising trying to bri…
