You lost me at 16k

Edited January 16, 201313 yr by rian

Looks like I'm buying a new car tonight :) (if all goes to plan)

 

VE SSV sportswagon, silver, OTR and exhaust.

 

well under $30k, less than 80k kms on the clock

 

Full leather, satnav, bluetooth etc etc.

 

6 speed auto which suits me fine (towing)

 

Pre AFM which means better results from a tune, its not a series one of the VE model, so kinks are ironed out (more or less)

 

Car trouble is always a good push to buy somethign new!

 

Keeping the little AE93 seca (SX), selling the VT to a friend.

 

Will be nice to have some modern luxuries, the VT has been great, has 350000 on the clock and hasn't really missed a beat until now.

I thought AFM came in _before_ Series II?

should clarify, its the last of the series one, before they rolled to S2 in 2010,

 

I should have said something more like "its not the first production series of the model"

 

Generally, new model has bugs for the first couple years (so 06-07-08) being an my09 means its less likely to suffer original flaws.

 

if that kinda makes sense? I'm absolutely ʞ©$ɟed today, tired as, can't think and type haha

My brother has the SSV sedan, I should have a look under the bonnet to see if it has a maf or not.

Standard they all run MAF sensors, and apparently, in the LS2 range onwards, they get great results, even retaining the MAF sensor (and therefore staying "legal")

 

Where as the LS1 range needed the MAF removed for any sort of tune to be worthwhile.

 

My brothers 08 SS sedan runs low 12s with a tune, extractors, exhaust and OTR

Just found out about the website Pandora today.

I'm diggin' it so far.

 

You just throw in a artist, genre or producer you like and it will play related stuff.

 

I've found some sweet new things

 

Anyone else used it before?

^last.fm

Nah this is better It goes through songs auto.

So when you get sick of choosing songs its sweet.

www.jango.com

www.grooveshark.com

 

two more awesome music sites.

 

Jango is like what you are talking about, you make a "station" and it plays music from the artists you pick, as well as related.

 

Grooveshark is just a big online media player, you search out the songs you want and make playlists.

you know what is ironic about this.

 

now that there is a news story about him, google will find this news story and suggest searches since there will be webpages with the three words “guy hingston bankrupt”

 

I reckon he has just made his problem a whole lot worse…

He gets a payout and his name in the media? Win win for him.

The firm wrote Dr Hingston had "lost a number of patients and financiers [who] are refusing to deal with our client as a consequence of the reference on google which is associated with his name"

 

These clients based their knowledge of someone's financial situation on a reference made by Google? Some sound business practices right there...

Its just good marketing. Even if he loses and doesnt get a cent he still gets media publicity and his name cleared. You can't buy this kind of advertising. I would never have heard about this guy.

Same same, it's a coup for him for sure, I meant the clients sound like a bunch of morons. Basing contracts etc on an auto-completed word in a search engine? You don't need clients like that.
