I have a beams red top for sale (from an MR2 SW20) including running gear (in South Australia) for $2k

Howdy! I've changed my flight to Brisbane and the owners are bringing the car to Ipswich, so I can now catch a train! Lesley minus pssshhht!

Hey guys and gals, I haven't been on for an AGE and VIXEN now has a new home (in NSW). I've just bought my daughter a car. However, it's in QLD (I'm in SA). I have booked our flights for next Saturday (15th June 2013) and we arrive into Gold Coast Airport in the morning. My plan was to hire a car from the airport and drive us out to pick up the new car - in Toowoomba. But I've just discovered they won't let me drop the car off on Saturday afternoon because they close the office at 10.30am which is stupid IMO! SO, I wondered if there was anyone here who might want to earn some cash and give the three of us a lift from the airport to Toowoomba? I'm willing to pay a fair price (IN CASH!). So if you're free on Saturday and you fancy a drive to Toowoomba, with three Adelaideans, send me a message and we can negotiate! Lesley :)

spotted tonight about 10pm on the entry ramp to the freeway (up track) from the Mount Osmond a grey/silver SUPRA on a tow truck, looked as though he rolled it definitely a write off, I hope you're ok dude.

when i was heavily involved in another club, we had, on each cruise, regardless of the TYPE of cruise, CAMS approval. We had to pay a pretty high premium per cruise, something like $100, when you're a club member and you plan an event, you're responsible. If for instance, one of the drivers of one of the cars (who was being a wanker) slid round a corner and took out a fence, the owner could see that there were 10 cars that were the same and sue the club. CAMS covered your legal liability. Most clubs aren't as organised, and a cruise is a post on a forum and people attend. However, what the police are doing is this: if I suggested a cruise, and some of the regular rollaclubbers attended but also a couple of their friends rocked up, who were unknown to me and one of them started acting like a wanker and had an accident and the police found out it was on a cruise, they could quite easily look up the forum, see that I organised the cruise and charge me. Most likely they monitor the forums anyway. There was a cruise a couple of weeks ago, in July I think the meet point was at Mount Lofty, the police set up a defect station at a number of points on the cruise. The club organiser advised the police what what happening, but they used the opportunity, not to rock up and promote safety on the roads, but to set up a defect station. Now, there are two trains of thought, if your car isn't road worthy, don't take it out on the road, but the police in this instance were being arseholes and treating it as a revenue raiser (IMO). Then there was the cruise last year where undercover police were video-taping the parked cars, probably running rego, licence, and personal checks on the owners, or having them flagged as possible "hoons". I really don't like where this is heading.....it's the very few, irresponsible, most often, young male drivers that are causing the police to take a tough stand on their irresponsible behavior, but all car enthusiasts are being held accountable and individuals who are not involved are being put at personal risk through being charged.

fine...i'll post it somewhere else *gawd!*

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-a...3-1225870268546 Police assert hoon drivers will be charged KEN MCGREGOR, KATE KYRIACOU From: The Advertiser May 24, 2010 12:01am POLICE have begun "targeting" car enthusiast groups that allegedly ignore road laws, charging the head of a notorious Adelaide car club with an anti-hoon law that has not been used before. All Car Club president and self-confessed "hoon" Peter Wayne Barnes is yet to plead to a charge of promoting an event involving the misuse of motor vehicles. Barnes, 20, of Seaton, is the first person to be charged with the offence, which relates to a "car cruise" at Parafield in September last year. Inspector Philip Newitt, officer in charge of the Major Crash section, yesterday said police will "continue to target and arrest the organisers of these illegal events". "There is a clear intention from organisers to incite, solicit and encourage drivers to commit serious and dangerous traffic offences," he said. Barnes, however, yesterday claimed the All Car Club no longer existed and that another popular cruise club, Ragers Commodore Klub, had barely 10 members - down from 400 a year ago. He said police, who follow the cruises and impose unwarranted defect notices on roadworthy cars, were victimising him. "They have won," he said. "People are too scared to come on the cruises now for the fear their car will be targeted by police." Barnes is also listed as the creator of an anti-police Facebook page titled "I've been f**** over by the Taskforce Diagonal one too many times.!!!" The page, which berates the SA Police anti-hoon squad, has 173 members. "Please let us know what happened and if u were a victim of there b*****(sic)", Barnes writes on the site. As part of his bail agreement, Barnes is not allowed to participate in "any kind of club cruise, most especially Ragers Commodore Klub and All Car Club." A curfew prohibiting Barnes from being outside between 8pm and 7am also had been imposed, but was revoked last week. Police recently laid charges against another man who allegedly is the head of South Australia's other main hoon car club. Barnes has previously told The Advertiser "male testosterone" and the need to "show off" is behind his club's car cruises. After a cruise in July, which involved about 250 cars, Barnes said he had told police "what happens when I finish the cruise is not on my shoulders", despite it shutting down sections of the highway and leaving it coated in oil and rubber. He was also photographed participating in a "breakaway" group of the cruise where drivers took turns doing burnouts and "circle work" in a 100km/h zone. "I'll admit that I'm a bit of a hoon," the Findon father of two said last July. "I'll go to their burnout spots but I've got kids now and I'm back with my missus." Barnes, who has previously lost his licence over traffic offences, also said the nights were about "showing what your car is made of". "It's a bit of male testosterone my-car-is-better-than-your-car type of thing," he said. "It's fun. It's just showing what your car is made of. We're just letting off a bit of steam." He faces a fine of up to $2500 as well as a licence disqualification if found guilty. He will appear again in court next month.

yeah, but the NSW and QLD boys always find my post....where else should I have put my post?

State of Origin Series 2010 dates are out. The State of Origin Fixtures for 2010 are: May 26 State of Origin Game One June 16 State of Origin Game Two July 7 State of Origin Game Three Unfortunately there's no game in Melbourne, and I won't be able to go.... ;) however, I've decided that I'm going to wear my blues jersey, hat, and flag and sit in my lounge room and yell at the TV! GO BLUES!!!!!

Clint, you suck. How COULD you post that god ugly vehicle that is associated with my gamer tag.... I'm very disappointed in you....that's got to be the ugliest, vomit-ty ....i'm feeling sick just thinking about it.... and I can't believe you're going to buy a Kia SOUL!

nice pictures....ride height looks good too :D

of course they have them in stock....no one wants to buy one!!!! if I had $30K in my pocket...I'd go for a Mazda

oh! and another thing (and sorry if this offends anyone - I'm not purposely stereotyping here) but if you put a normal person in one of these things, and they added spinners and a shit load of chrome, we'll have a ton of people investing in heavy gold chains, and grills (is that what those fake gold teeth caps are called)? It's bad enough that the youth of today can't wear their pants properly...... TOYOTA - YOU SUCK!

I saw it in the flesh yesterday on the footpath in front of the new Toyota building on West Terrace, whilst trying to maneuver around a car parked in the loading zone in peak hour traffic...maybe it was the situation, maybe I was having a bad day, maybe a bit of both...I've found that my patience level has dropped markedly. Thank you for your explanation uncle shady, it made me smile...whilst I acknowledge and accept everything you say, it STILL annoys the crap out of me. I'm a parent, a mother, and I wouldn't be seen DEAD in one of those ridiculous looking cars. They're almost as bad as a Mazda MPV, a Suzuki mini van etc., etc., Philby: I can make this claim because I am entitled to an opinion, most of Toyota's line up sucks balls. You have the Yaris which is a flimsy bit of fluff, the latest Corolla which is revolting, the Rukus which is a joke, the Camry which is SO pedestrian, the Prius which isn't as environmentally friendly as you'd at first believe, the Avensis which is really a Corolla wagon, and the Aurion which is basically a bitched up Camry, oh and the Tarago which is a tissue box on wheels.... As far as their line up, I stand by my comment - they're a bunch of dumbarses.....they have no style, they have no appeal for people who do have style and all in all, they're dumbarses. I seriously do not understand why in their range of 13 passenger cars they can't have just ONE that would appeal to enthusiasts, hell, even people who have a teensy tiny bit of style and admire their cars.... TOYOTA - YOU SUCK!

I HATE SPIDERS! I've had two spider incidents....both freaked me out. My cousin sent me this photo:

I just don't see the point, Toyota have a whole fleet of crap cars that we don't want, why don't they just bring out the car we DO want?! They're such dumbshits.

those QLD plates were passed in, the Lotus I think was also passed in, the Corvette went for $20K, the Grand Prix 84 plates went for $13K the commodore went for $5500 the other cars, the woolsey (?) and the other Anglia? went for 1500

this auction in on now, LIVE at 11.45am they're up to lot 181 you can bid on line at interbids, go to their website and log in...I'd hate for you guys to miss out on the RAA Badges, knowing how rare they are....
