Take the money for sure.... Glad you're alright, looks like you were lucky to walk away from something like that!

Yeah bucketing down here too, even the underpowered company skid machine is having trouble staying in a straight line. And to think it was 40 degrees a week ago!

I was going to send someone flowers today, then I remembered the great Eddie Murphy..... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY???!?!

13.5 @ 105 with an average 60' and hitting fuel cut at 3/4 track

Exactly what happened to me.... I didn't get the marks for UOW but I got offered a place at La Trobe, so I went to a different campus for a year then applied to transfer. My La Trobe marks weren't crash hot so I only got in through a few face to face meetings and some careful negotiation (followed by some careful grovelling). Take the UWS place and at least get started, those colleges aren't a guaranteed pathway into the degree, especially if you fail anything. Not to mention the college being a buttload more expensive.

Roll call of NSW/ACT constituents driving down on Friday morning?

Ahh c'mon you can do better than that :P

Nice one brotato

Ahhh don't scare me with talk of replacing windscreens.... pretty sure whatever I get shipped from J-land wouldn't make it in one piece :(

Haha Simo you surrogate westie

Nice work son

Half a case of Bundy dry + lime before heading out on NYE..... then back into the Bundy + cola cans at the venue..... me rikey very much.

Well, I finally got a copy of the mag.... 3 months later looking good Habibi! Nice shot in your owner profile as well, you should use that on RSVP.com.au :P

I pulled a muscle in my back playing Wii Baseball once

Steve may as well close the forum now, because until someone puts up "FS: Keeley Hazell", this is the most awesome thread that will ever grace this space.... Farking top work mate! Love it! What an idea for a trip to Japan :D

That will go like a shower of **** once you wind up those T3Gs Make sure you guys check out the JZX World Forums..... www.jzx100.com

I'm sorry to hear about the affinity to the H badge, I hear doctors can help you with those sort of problems these days haha j/k I agree with the FWD thing, I pushed Corollas for years! As for the image thing, I get the feeling that the "Sportivo" models were a image-building foot in the water for introducing TRD to the market. They were just undercooked in typically conservative Toyota style. The Sportivo versions of the Echo and Camry were lame compared to the Corolla (and they only got that right with the ZZE-123, after first bolting a turbo onto the geriatric 7A-FE.... what were they thinking?). TRD definitely should've beefed up a Corolla first to get the numbers they needed to stay afloat, then moved onto the Aurion. A quick Corolla would've come in at the right time to steal some early market share in the hot hatch category. Even if they didn't see soaring petrol prices and a potential worldwide recession coming around the corner, they should've seen that their #1 selling car was in an expandable category.

I'll bring the milk crate for him to stand on

Yeah I'd agree with that. The only problem is the players in that field are all massively capable. The conservatives in Toyota would insist that the Corolla remained FWD.... so the TRD Corolla would have to be either as fast as the 3 MPS or as well-rounded as the Golf GTI to get a foothold in the market. Either that or considerably cheaper than the competition and just "good enough".

But would it really? We all whooped and cheered when they brought out the charged Aurion, but how many people from this forum went out and bought one? 4? Out of all the Sportivo owners on here, how many people bought their car brand new? And then how many people waited a few years for depreciation to take a bite before making a purchase and saving themselves $10k? It's the same story across the board. I'd love to see them turbocharge the Yaris or chuck the V6 + AWD system in the Corolla but I can put my hand on my heart and say that I wouldn't buy one. And if nobody will front up the cash, then the cars won't be built.

Damn, I was hoping Glenn Ridge would get a guernsey on a half decent car show for once....

Nobody from my household until the organiser learns how to spell! (that was a bit harsh, wtf is this gig?)

Ooooo you went on the Dawn..... I went on the Pacific Sun last year just before they launched the big one, I feel inadequate :(

Did you apply the BFH service tool to the connector? Maybe that's all that was needed :D

At least yours didn't cop a $3k engine rebuild while you were at uni, then sold it in 100% good working order when you got a full time job! The bloke who bought mine got a bloody good deal.... Sounds like ISCV. How old are your leads? No cracks in them or anything?
