This article is the best I've seen thus far which explains the actual problem. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/why-toyot...or-denso-pedal/

aaaah yeah see, thats 'cos you all live in states with too many people in them, so nobody cares if you fit wheels without rings and die as a consequence. Easy to find up here... and yes the nylon/polycarbonate ones are fine, no need to go all fancy schmancy alloy.

You can buy hubcentric rings for just such an occasion. Couple of bucks from a tyre/wheel shop.

Have you seen the average Frenchie? They're so waif-like they're almost two dimensional. :) I approve of this vehicle. Its hideously ugly, mis-proportioned, backwards, and being French (but not a DS) its more than likely hopelessly unreliable and has diabolically unsafe handling at speeds above 3kph. Ergo: I love it. :D PS. Needs yellow foglights with mesh covers, and a luggage rack on the bootlid. Wicker picnic basket optional.

I can see the problem Lesley... Not enough zipties, cracked dashboards, and tofu delivery stickers.

My mad stalker sense didn't tingle... I'd best get it checked (and haunt your posts more) Yeah, I heart Audi too. :)

You can also hold the start button down for 3 seconds to kill the engine under any circumstance regardless of gear or speed... But nobody knew that.

Less fireworks, more intentionally lit fires.

Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside Well him and my uncle tore that engine down I still remember that rumblin' sound Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road Your name wouldn't be John Lee Pettimore Same as your daddy and his daddy before By any chance? :D

I didn't expect such a quick reply... Isn't it someone else's turn to use THE Tasmanian internet connection? :dance:

You're halfway right... Beer is for swine, but Bourbon is what happens when Americans try to make Scotch and bollocks it up completely by filtering it through an old sock filled with pencil shavings. A true gentleman of good breeding and social standing will prefer a highland single malt, neat, over ice. An unfortunate side-effect of imbibing said beverage is the acute and instantaneous appearance of a (albeit, quite dashing) moustache, and a predisposition for hunting pheasants from the comfort of your Range Rover, whilst wearing ridiculous tartan pantaloons and knee high Argyle socks. Tally ho, bogans.

Oooh them's fuedin' words there cletus.... BANJOS AT DAWN hehehe I actually have some fellow tropic expats living in Launie atm... Mate of mine getting his Skipper's ticket. He and his wife n bellyfruit are most definitely NOT adjusting to colder climes. (and lack of electricity, telemuhphones and flushing toilets)

Muffler putty does the trick Its not like it will actually be functioning anyway :D

Win Just... win. The car, the backstory, the theme, and the execution. Love it. Well done.

I've been to most of them. The United States, for one... Horrible place. I pity the poor sods that live there. Don't believe me? Go have a look. I personally guarantee you'll appreciate Australia a lot more when you get back. On that point, and perhaps not surprisingly, most people who whinge about this country have usually not been overseas and have no basis for comparison... Bali and New Zealand don't count as overseas either. Tasmania does. You guys are weird.

Why would it have a flux capacitor.... Its an X-wing not a DMC-12 Jip... Have you been going Han Solo and stroking your wookie again?

ooooo noooooo Corvair! Unsafe at any speed! :D Love the swamp cooler on the Desoto. Classic beemers... The nastier these new cars get, the better they become. I have an E21 323i, which with nowt but a set of Bilsteins and 15's will quite easily out-handle most 'sports cars' rolling off the showroom floor today... And its more than 30 years old. That is until you give it just a teency bit too much pedal at the apex and the back tries to go faster than the front... They are a not terribly forgiving near the limits of adhesion :hmm: I'd love a 2002. Was looking for one when the E21 found me... :dance:

Me so solly. Here, watch this and I shall be redeemed...

:dance:

Oh sweet merciful heavens I found something worse
