Fortune Cookies that never made it.... Man who run in front of car get tired. Man who run behind car get exhausted. Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok . Man with one chopstick go hungry. Man who scratch ar$e should not bite fingernails Man who eat many prunes get good run for money. Baseball is wrong: man with four balls cannot walk. Panties not best thing on earth! But next to best thing on earth. War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left. Wife who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cat house. Man who fight with wife all day get no piece at night. It take many nails to build crib, but one screw to fill it. Man who drive like hell, bound to get there. Man who stand on toilet is high on pot. Man who live in glass house should change clothes in basement. Man who fish in other man's well often catch crabs. Man who fart in church sit in own pew. Crowded elevator smell different to midget.

Bit hard to believe it was only doing 55 kph

I did agree with you and now I don't. I have changed all my bulbs in my house to compact fluoro and can not be happier. I have a lot of lights and the kids leave them on all the time. The bulbs are more expensive but getting cheaper all the time to the point where you can now buy them at crazy clarks (junk style shop) pretty cheap. With there long life and with the price of electricity going up they will pay for themselves quickly. I put in 3 airconditioners (Panasonic inverters) and changed all the light bulbs - net effect no change in my electricity bill. There are lots of new sizes now and you can get them for downlights (those that are not halogen).

Nice houses in the background. Is the area a bit like the Hope Island / Sanctuary Cove of SA. PS the cars OK as well

Is this a fault my 2003 Sportivo does the same - same speaker

We have the same thing on our mountain bike forums only its the greenies and council looking for illegal tracks etc. and also what MTB'ers are up to legally to try to stop us. Some young idiots build illegal tracks and brag about them on the web. It's just bad for everyone. You now have to register to look at anything on the site . Pain for all - for the stupid actions of a few (that's life in general).

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be eight again" she replied On the morning of her birthday he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Coco Pops and then took her off to the local theme park. What a Day! He put her on every ride in the park: * The Death Slide * The Wall of Fear * The Screaming Monster Roller Coaster Five hours later she staggered out of the theme Park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away they journeyed to a McDonalds where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate milk shake. Then it was off to the movies: the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, her favourite lolly and M& M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed onto the bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked "Well Dear, what was it like being eight again?" Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. "I meant my dress size, you f*ckin tw*t" The moral of this story: Even when a man is Listening, he's still going to get it wrong.

Sorry about the car being stolen. As there is no replacement for the Sportivo I would go the Aurion. I have been looking at them seriously for a while for my other car (trade in existing Camry) but can't afford the cash right now. My vote Aurion all the way.

Sorry I was told they were red. As I said I got the recall done but no sticker. Looked in the warranty / service book and there is no mention of it being done. also checked under bonnet and nothing there either. So I know it has been done but you can't tell by looking at the car.

The stickers were red and placed on the inside of the driver door panel near the hinge (but then mine didn't get one either - I would very much doubt that the recall was not done unless it had never been back to Toyota for a service when it was under warranty). Toyota sent letters to all owners and the service guys used to ask as well.

Does it look a little like this. Nice to see you are around and doing well. All the best to the family.

Ride a mountain bike you will soon realise that every extra kilo you need to hual up hill is a bad bad thing. I'm about 2 kgs over weight now and really need to drop back to 72.5kgs. But so much yummy stuff around. If I didn't do my 10 - 12 hours a week on the bike I would be a big fat pig.

Looks the goods. 17 inch rims are a step forward. Everytime I look at my Sportivo I wish the rims were bigger.

Saw some more photos yesterday and the Courier looked a lot worse in them. I'm still surprised that my mate his wife and three kids walked away with minor injuries. The commodore had an after market steering wheel and after looking at the photos of that and how it bent and the injuries of the driver (chest and face) there is no way I would think about ever changing the steering wheel. Good news is that the insurance company bumped up the offer on the Courier a bit but he still will be out of pocket. How do you replace a car you have looked after which is in really good nic with low k's for the money they offer you especially if its a bit unusual - impossible.

Mate had a bad crash on New Years Day. Not his fault he was on a country style road when an idiot came around a corner fast on the wrong side of the road. He had his wife and three kids so was very lucky no one was seriously hurt in his car. Commodore driver was the worst off. Worst part is the financial cost as this is his work vehicle and self employed. He still sees the car coming at him when he closes his eyes so needs to get over that. Probably bad because he keeps thinking what could have happened especially to the kids. Drive safe out there and think of the consequences.

My sportivo has never backfired. Don't know what you are talking about ?. We used to make our old Holdens backfire. Find a large hill and give it some going down at about halfway turn the ignition off and back on. A huge explosion and if you are unlucky your exhaust falls off.

The Yokohama's were $229 and I was told they were the same size but couldn't find our size on their web site. Makes you wonder if you can trust them at Bob Jane to put on the correct size.

Yes I know there is a tyre section but who reads that every day and I need some opinions quickly. Don't want to go non standard tyre so looking at replacing with originals. Price is $215 fitted and balance for Bridgestone Turanza ER30 195/55/16 V What do you think.

In the beginning, the plan for a divine human design was painstakingly implemented. "The nerve endings," said St Peter, "how many will I put in her hands?" "How many did we put in Adam?" asked The Lord. "Two hundred, O Mighty One." "Then we shall do the same for the woman." "How many nerve endings should we put in woman's genitals, O Mightiest?" "How many did we put in Adam?" "Four hundred & twenty, O Mighty One." "Oh yeah, now I remember, we wanted Adam to have a little fun procreating, didn't we? Do the same for woman." "Yes, O Great Lord." "Wait! Hold it. Pete, Give her ten thousand. It'd be a hoot to hear her scream out my name..."

Keep that Queensland Smart State one they will become rare. Everyone here in Queensland hated the idea so much we went back to Queensland the Sunshine State. We all know it is the smart state but we don't want to brag about it.
