Quickest K Powered Car?
Too complicated now, I'm out! :lol: (no funds to play with the big boys :( )

Taking Cr@p
I've spent nearly $20k on a car that cost me $1200 :lol: But it will easily last another 42 years... and I prefer it over any other $20k car :) Totally agree with the more environmentally friendly thing to. The environmental impact from making a new car is astronomically higher than the minuscule drop in emissions that new car gives off.

Traffic Incident
Already answered, but definately 100% other driver at fault... and very unlucky on his part. In WA if you pull out in a situation like that in your test they will mark you down. You should wait untill both lanes are clear just in case the car changes lanes (or is in the other lane to what you think).

5K Flat Top Pistons ?
I was under the impression this was not possible? The 5K sump is slightly wider, it doesn't fit... I haven't actually tried this myself so I could be wrong.

Laser Cutting
Agree with Philbey, Solidworks is the way of the future :) We started using it about a year ago at work, has dramatically reduced reworks (stuff-ups needing to be fixed). You can spot a problem straight away when you're working in 3D.

It did add a lot of fun to the show having a mystery driver.

I watched the first 2 or 3 episodes, never noticed any Kiwi accents.

By Perth you mean 2 members... :D I do believe it has something to do with the age of said members and I also think they have been trying to improve, in most of their posts anyway. ;)

The Silent Car Killer Rust
This is another one of those "piece of string" questions... there is no correct answer!! I personally hit small rust spots with rust converter untill I get a chance to fix them. If you do this your piece of string should be longer :D
-
Quick Money. Kinda
I think you would be better of using this as a chance to learn how to do budget rust repairs on your own. Put up some pics of the rust, if it's only small patches you should be able to grind it back and bog. Slightly larger patches you could do the dodgy chicken wire and bog method (shown in the Hanes manual for the KE10 :D)... it all depends what result you want.

1972 Lj Torana
Don't think I've commented on this car yet. An LJ Torri was my dream car all through high school, then when I was old enough to get a car all the LJ's were either too expensive or bogged up buckets of s*@#! This car looks fantastic!

Whats The Fastest Car You Have Owned?
I miss my Soarer... I sat on the speed limiter (179kph) everywhere I went :hmm: Got caught a couple of times and let off lightly so had to get rid of it :blush: (got rear ended before it sold anyway).
