Hey Des, your wobble bar is hanging out...

Ordinarily I despise guns and hunting, but where feral pigs are concerned its a different story as you are doing the country a favour. I grew up pigging. Nice tusker :P PS: first person to have a cry about gods beautiful creatures having the right to live gets one of these ugly, vicious, environmental vandals inserted in their closet while they sleep.

Every KE70 driver's seat I've removed has had sort of bush mechanic job done to it.... I've seen everything from hessian to plywood, sheets of polyvinyl, plastic bucket lids and two very creative uses for an old seat belt :P

Its pretty close in a starlet too :P

Doooo it.... The application form is easy, the video requires some thought. I even included various corollas (as well as two BMW's, CV8 Monaro, Lexus IS200 and a Fiat 124) performing rather cinematic maneuvers in a *ahem* 'closed circuit environment under competent supervision' or something like that :P My logic? I figure if they see I can powerslide an open diff 4k for the entire length of a footy field, I'm safe to be given the keys to ooh I dunno maybe an Aston Martin.... :P

I've had a few AL25 turtles. Its not a borgwarner, but not a T either. Its a Y series (302) which is a 158mm crown wheel and 3.727 ratio. Not much good as a performance upgrade but much harder to break than a borgwarner which to the best of my knowledge is made entirely from balsawood and papier mache.

I understand the liability issues involved (on the organiser's part) for sure. However I would wager a lesser testicle that every single competitor, support team, marshall etc would quite eagerly sign a hefty indemnity waiver and participate. Not that it matters though, jacta alea est. Ooooh and just think of how exciting it would be to watch, what with the possibility of some random ex-soviet military hardware affecting the outcome of the race! Allah be praised, the TV ratings will soar!

Shit bum poo crap BASTARDS http://www.dakar.com/indexus.html Quick.... someone pretend to discover oil in Mauritania so the US will all of a sudden decide it is part of the 'axis of evil' and offer military protection for the competitors! I LOVE the Dakar.... such a shame.

Why the hell not? :P Personally I'd really dig a female presence on the show... although not the typical 'car chicks' that appear on certain DVDs and network TV as presenters. Ugh they make me cringe.

Not to discredit the suitability of Herr Dwarf, but my license is squeaky clean and my application and vid have been submitted. :yes: There are several positions available after all :y:

I've been staging large events (albeit more along the lines of concerts and festivals) up here for a while. I'm on very good terms with the 'powers that be' in regard to public events. The logistics are surprisingly similar...

Escort pano eh... I recently sold one to a bloke in tassie for quite a hefty sum (for an old chook chaser anyway :yes:) They must be getting pretty thin on the ground considering this guy paid godknowshowmuch to get mine trucked from Cairns to Tassie... good luck with your uncle's.

Slightly off topic... but indulge me... I've always had, (and still do) have ambitions of starting a Targa event up here.... I really think it would work. Now all I need is several hundred thousand dollars to make it happen. Anyone got a hat I can pass around?

etch primer ftw.

Hmmm.... to the best of my knowledge, airbags are designed specifically NOT to deploy in side impacts...

It has SPEED HOLES :dance:

Bin Laden has been hiding in Tasmania fighting the 'war on rust'...

Not working, but not drunk either. All the best for the new year guys n gals. Hope its a good one for you all. Jarad

Bah... I got 2 kg of the shit out in the lawn shed for making my Biodiesel... Gimmie something reeaaaaally toxic or volatile! :dance:

I shattered the diff in an Ra40 once... I would have been doing a good 100kph on the highway when the rears locked up. Pretty damn scary when you floor the clutch and nothing changes... still sliding... still pouring white smoke like its on fire.... just hang on and hope the back wheels don't try to overtake the front :dance:

Cam... I'm willing to bet that you were voted "most likely to be killed/repeatedly injured in an ironic or spectacularly destructive way" in your senior yearbook...

NORMAL is a setting on a washing machine. I get told I'm a freak quite often. I relish in it :dance: Better to be considered weird than to amble through a pathetic existence as one of the soulless automatons. Let them pay the tax, buy the brand new cars, fill their houses with LCD tvs and leather couches and other shite they don't need... As long as the unwashed masses are burdened with debt and chasing the great "Aussie dream" the economy ticks along nicely, the government leaves ME alone, and I can continue to skip merrily along the fringe doing whatever I want, whenever I want to do it, free of any encumbrance. Thinking about driving across Siberia next year. Cos I can.

Lookin' good.... just keep layering those basecoats until its about an inch think so you can just sand it back to silky smoothness later :bash: Thats how I paint anyway :dance:

Shit yeah.... forceful AND slick. Not a common combination of attributes. I also like the way he starts setting himself up waaaay in advance of the corner... just tooling around with the balance until he feels like its right and then whoooshka round he goes :y:

oh shit yeah.
