What's Rugby? :P

Hydrogen fuel cell technology is still being developed, the biggest challenge is actually getting the Hydrogen Tank in a size that works in a car yet can still keep the temp of the hydrogen at the -260 something degrees it needs to be maintained at.

BMW is leading the way in developing this, They've had 7 series models running on the stuff for years because it was the only model big enough to accomodate the jumbo tank required, but just months ago they had a breakthrough in developing more compact tanks that still have the necessary insulation to keep the hydrogen at the right temp.

Problem is though, there is no infrastructure in place to refill hydrogen cars yet.

My sister was warned once when she had her 100 series landcruiser, but on that car, they are rather high up on the bumper, but still wouldn't dazzle anyone

Nope always drive with them on, every car that has them fitted in Melbourne does!

Odd for a Tyrepower outlet to have bad service, I've used their notthing hill workshop and a friend has used their Know outlet and we've both had good things to say about them. Sorry to hear about your bad experience, so do you have the caps yet?

Toyota dealers will not touch imported prius. Apparently this instruction comes from TMCA.

Really?

Is there any reason for this?

I've tried the Castrol Syntrax before, doesn't seem suited to cold weather, in fact it feels shiete when cold, only seems to work well when hot IMO

I wonder if having that battery pack in the bum helps improve the Camry's cornering balance?

Good News for Australia. Hyundai will shortly bring in a Hybrid LPG Elantra, Holden may possibly introduce a diesel or hybrid or both Commodore. I think Toyota's move should kick start much more green motoring development in Australia.

Apparently though the section the contractors have referred to as "The Drag Strip" which is some 4 km's of dead straight road somewhere between Dandenong and Frankston, and of most concern to Police due to the obvious does not actually have any camera's.

Goes to say alot about Camera's and road safety...

Edit: Also, don't try to spot all the camera's. I've been informed that most have been neatly disguised into the structures in which they're placed such as the retaining walls and bridges.

Cool, let us know how you go, but just go to the audition with an open mind regarding how these shows work. Most times they will let people through the first auditions because of the enternainment value for the show rather than the persons actual talent or potential (And looks).

Basically, I think you have **** for brains if you get a numberplate like those I listed lol. Sorry Sinan, I became too overzealous and ebullient with my wording

suckadik did u not read the bit where it said "away with haters" fk u cant read now too ?

If you lay meat in front of a cat, the cat will eat it.

I should point out that my comment was also 'general' in its nature, and not aimed at anyone in particular.

Leopards never change their spots...

err, not aimed at anyone in particular ?

dude did u even read what u posted LOL i think that was so direct, it couldnt get any more direct than that

NOOB

The (ban) stick is waiting....

By the way mrs.sportivo, please change that sig of yours....

Ok, Nelson & Mrs Sportivo, Chill.

PLAY NICE. lets not make it personal, yeah? Otherwise I have a big stick and I'm more than happy to use it.

On the subject of personal plates, anything like FA99ET is likely to result in your car being keyed or worse. It may be funny to you, but others may take offense and then take action based on their anger.

man the kewl crew... i miss all of ye

should make the meet a designated day on the start of every month. So first week... sunday of every month or something. Car wash would be good.

there are unlimited time carwashes around

theres one in yaraville $4 bux unlimited time. geelong road opposite hungry jacks. gives us unlimited time to wax. polish ... clay... bring a portable generator and you can buffer =D

maidstone car wash near caltex also has $4 bux unlimited from monday to wednesday nights i believe

theres also one on williamstown road and somerville road.. i wonder why easterners have yet to get one. =D *maybe because us westys are all stingy*

when they say unlimited it usually means 40 minutes not forever

They also allow bucket and sponge use not like dodgy 2 dollar 2 minute spray joints.

We miss out on everything :(

This is the funniest thing I've read in quite some time :D

Car wash meet isn't a bad idea either

Corolla is already the YTD best seller in Australia so far. So as far as Toyota is concerned, they don't have to do anything to 'Spice up' the range to make it more attractive. Corolla sells well here solely based on reputation, they don't need a hero car or Sports range to make it more appealing.

Aurion on the other hand needed a helping hand to boost it's image in a market swamped by Falcodore buyers.

TRD Hilux was to cash in on the growing number of people wanting a performance suv if there is such a thing.

Next model - I'm betting on a TRD Yaris.

There was a TTE Yaris sitting in the Company Fleet garage here in Port Melbourne. Not much of a change though.. It had 16" 10 spoke alloys, Chrome exhaust tip, the tail lights were rounder and it sported a TTE grill.

Didn't it also have the Corolla 1.8? About 97kw?

Owned ha ha ha

Ouch!

I'm trying to work out how it happened, did the trampoline slide forward into the chairs when he jumped on it?

Merging this with the other topic

I recently washed my engine.

I went to the nearest car wash, I waited till the engine was cool, I covered my pod with a plastic shopping bag, lightly went over the engine bay with the car wash engine/tyre cleaner (my engine bay was already fairly clean, if a bit dirty may be advisable to use some engine degreaser) with care to avoid wetting the fuse box and other electrics, Then hose off using the high pressure clean, but don't pull the trigger, just use the low pressure until all the soap/degreaser is removed.

Then dry off most surfaces with a crappy chamous, presto all clean :D

There are still quite a number of these on the road here, but we never had the GT, like the one you have pictured, they only have "twin cam 16"

I think I saw 1ZZ-FE Carlo last Friday night, around 6pm, Blackburn / Waverley road intersection.

Yes that was me, you were waiting at the lights right?

Yes I was waiting at the light :)

The Remus exhaust is unmistakably your car :) You lower it more now didn't you? How's the apex i?

Yeah lowered it more, Loving the Apexi, kicking myself didn't get it years ago. :D

Celica looks low and sleek at night :)

The grill looks neat, I'm not a fan of the standard one, and one of the thing I like about the TRD aurion styling is the different grill

The new Hyundai i30 diesel recently bettered even the Prius in a recent efficiency challenge in NT
