  1. I have almost abandoned this forum all together. Mostly through the amount of frustration reading all those poorly written posts creates. I am responsible for the quality of correspondence that leaves my workplace on a daily basis, I have to proof everything we send, and I have 15 subordinates who vary in their 'written expression'. I don't need to do that every time I get on here as well. The search function is next to useless if you use a single abbreviated/SMS/leet word. It won't find 'zorst' if someone is searching for exhaust, and it wont find suspenzion if someone is searching for suspension. I agree that the flaming that the noobs get is often excessive, usually its a result of the mods/admins having dealt with the issue numerous times. We need to address that - flame the repeat offenders, counsel the noobs. Its a balancing act that will take some time to rectify. I don't think that the preview option is going to fix many if any of the posts because the problem posters will just scroll down - hit POST and not re-read. If they don't have time to type a full word then they certainly won't take the time to read the post AGAIN. Besides - the fast reply doesn't have a preview option :kiwi:
  2. Wheels in the air - NICE 8/10 This is something I just had to take - for purely comedy value. BAGDAD - Your Neighborhood Watch Area !!
  3. I'm 6 foot and have no problem with my 88 hatch - If I slide the seat right back I can't reach the pedals. Head clearance might be the issue for you tho
  4. According to GahooYoogle our little site comes in the top 5 hits if someone type in Rollaclub ...... so regardless what else is on the stickers - as long as it says ROLLACLUB people will find US first Gahoo Yoogle - the best and worst of both worlds ......
  5. I think mine has holes (through the "SR" sticker) but it looks like thin sheet metal - I might be mistaken but not sure there is any strength there.
  6. Rob, come tap my firewall for the strut braces!!!! PLEASE Hell I'll bring it to you!!!
  7. 7/10 - The fish needs to be smiling Took this at Port Arthur just last week with my crappy Sony Digital. Wanted the sun coming through the church window - I know it makes it hard to see some of the foreground, but I really like the sun effect. I'll tweak it in Photoshop before it gets printed.
  8. yup - good old 3/8 standard hose from SuperCheap (and nasty) will do the trick nicely
  9. Isn't it funny when you scroll by a post and you see that the owner has filled it with poor spelling and bad grammar. And you think to yourself - hey for just $0 he could download Firefox 2.0 or above and it would show just how bad the spelling was. It is so clever it would even underline the words so they could be corrected. Then all the others passing by the post might in fact be able to read it with out suffering some form of mental anguish.
  10. Read the rules Stupid posts like this get locked and deleted. :hmm:
  11. Winamp with classic skin for the WIN - stays at the top of my screen in window-shade mode, has no task bar real estate, and is very sys resource friendly. AND it doesn't take 4 days to start up.
  12. The Science Centre in Brisbane has one similar but its a large clear tube with a thin film of water in the bottom and a big arse speaker in one end. Work much the same but in enclosed for child safety.
  13. my AE82 Dash pad is still in one piece, on the outside at least - the screw mounts have crumbled so I am considering grinding them back and making new ones from the "plastic bog" you can buy to fix scratches and cracks in your bumpers etc. Have considered making a mould of the dash pad but have no idea what to make the new pad from if I had a mould. Maybe just resin from fibreglass - with no glass in it ????
  14. I haven't had any problems dropping images into the text --->> It seems to work fine for me. Are you uploading then typing - not that it matters - once the attachments are ulpoaded click in the text where you want the image/etc then click the "Manage Current Attachments" and click the GREEN + alongside the image you want.
  15. Quite simply - NO - it would be a coding nightmare, besides we can't even get people to put EBAY in the topic so how will the post be identified ?? If I see any ebay posts outside of the EBAY Topic area, I for one will simply delete it - no notice - no comment - no remorse. (Might be an instant 10% on the warning too .... I can be nasty like that)
  16. I too am a fan of Galaga - and yes the comfy bar stools are in place. Also considering screwing on drink holders for those long times at the machine. He's a pic just for Leslie. Thats my high score at the top - its not brilliant but its all I need to reign supreme in this household. Having all the Highscores over 200k kinda pisses off the wife a little too.
  17. Happy to post links to places I got my parts from, a list of the components and costs, and my plans and a step by step if anyone wants them.
  18. It's Alive !!! Complete redesign. Steered away from two player console and decided on a single player layout. All rebuilt - complete stripped down 17 inch monitor and stripped down PC (no case - just components). Just waiting on some stickers from Nick and it's finished. The white buttons are for "Coins" and Player 1/2 selection. The red button is a pause button or as I like to call it the "PANIC!! Button" PS. Need to paint up the edge of the control panel and add glass in front of the monitor.
  19. for ease of viewing try this link <<-- may contain adult images :P
  20. OK enough cock measuring. Everyone has an opinion and everybody thinks they are right. So let's all have a great big hug and then STFU!! :P
  21. Simple solution .... John the stud pattern is the same - so if you look at both sets of tyres and they are the same diameter/profile/width then there is no change to the speedo. Otherwise you'll need to check the rolling circumference to make sure they are basically the same around the outside. Use this link to do your calculations (Website) or this link on SuperJamies website (Excel File)
  22. Nice first post! NOT If you use the search function you will find information .... its up there ^^^ And while you are looking up there you will also see a link to Database which, if you had searched, you would know is a database of readers rides including pictures. Amazingly simple isn't it.
  23. If you look on the fine you got issued it usually says first and last notice - they don't give you warning - the issue of the ticket was the warning - you only get a nasty when you haven't paid it.
  24. Matt, where was your helmet ??? That big puff of hair on your head won't protect you for long even if it does look helmet-ish
  25. Nope - you're losing the plot. and I still have my Victorian bike plate as well it just says RUTS in the same red and white as my other bike plate
