Unfathomable. Truly.

As I look out my window and see the torrent of water falling from the sky, and think of my home town and my mum's house, which are currently experiencing the worst flooding since the 70's... raging bushfires are almost unfathomable to me... This country is nuts. Stay safe people

Goes to show what a geographically diverse (and big) country this is.... You guys are burning to a crisp, whilst the entire top half of the country is underwater.

At least during school hours

Oh your poor sod...

I have a kinchrome set... I never really used them much before but having recently purchased a Honda with the most cramped engine bay I have ever seen, I'm finding them indispensable :D

Dear god, thats disgusting. Stick to the icecream dude

One 'project' at a time, Des... Besides, no point picking up a 'project' someone else has half done and given up on :D

Dude you have a Diamante as well? A bunch of Australians built that thing! Nice Soarer/SC300 by the way... JZ loooooove :P

Yeah that's fair enough... Most aren't as conscientious as you though. I guess the law exists to account for the lowest common denominator. Trivia: Up here we have a quite well developed bike lane system... most are 2m wide and painted in bright f*ckoff green antislip paint. But that's mostly due the prevalence of Japanese people here on work visas... (thousands...) In Japan bikes rule supreme (They outnumber cars by about 7 trillion:1) ... and have no real rules attached to where and how you should ride them. So they come over here, pick up a cheap pair of wheels, and proceed to ride up the tiny footpaths, across roundabouts on the inside lane into the traffic, diagonally across intersections, through red lights etc etc... no surprise dozens get cleaned up every week. You'd think they'd give em a leaflet or something when they get off the plane.

I'm quite obviously referring to bicycles...

That's exactly right, but its not the road... Its a pedestrian crossing.

Yes and no Trev... Footpaths are for feet... There's a road for things with wheels. That's why bikes are expected to obey road rules. In the case of crossings, a bike in motion moves much faster than a pedestrian... less reaction time for the approaching driver.

4 Wheel steer, ABS, Cruise, electric things, power sunroof and leather trim... Actually not a bad little jigger at all :cool:

91 Prelude Si... for Mrs Shades. It has pop up headlights... I LOVE POP UP HEADLIGHTS And it was cheap. :cool:

I bought a Honda.

Fwd Tercel platform that the rest of the world got, but we didn't... (except the Paseo, *shudder*) E series engines. There was a particularly fiesty and horribly unreliable version called the Corsa which had a 4E-FTE, some with AWD...

Welcome to project car hell. Enjoy your stay :y:

Yeah I was finding it only mildly humorous... until that last line made me lose my shit completely :y:
