Was speaking to my neighbour on the weekend and I had a laugh when he told me had had been busted for being on the mobile phone in the car. He admits he should not have been on the phone so no excuses really.

But the funny part was he was pulled over by a black Hummer (the Blue and Red lights between the big tooth grill were pretty cool in his rear vision mirror ). Apparently the Qld police have ordered 6 of these.

So be careful around Hummers.

I think its just getting to the point where they could be driving anything at all.

A good customer of mine is one of the head honcho's at the Alderley Police complex here in Brisbane. I got a bit of a guided tour a few years back when they were kitting out their brand new VE's (marked cars).

In the space of 15 mins, I saw everything from Aurions, VN Commodes, Honda Accord Euros etc etc. Hummers is certainly a new one, no doubt that will catch quite a few off guard. . . :o

Some of the Hummers are being used for riot/crowd control, particularly after-hours for alcohol-fuelled violence outbreaks. Suppose nothing sobers you up more than a 3-tonne black SUV revving it's engine and looking to run you down.

Reminds me of an episode of RENO911, where the goofballs after receiving a Hummer for their precinct spent a whole half hour episode attempting to get out of a tight parking spot then finally when free, they ran out of gas. :lol:

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
