Take care mate. Congrats on the new job. Gotta beat working in that tin shed at 44 degrees. Hope you get some nice cheap flights. You should keep posting here so you can then stay at the interstate members places for free ;) . Would be a nice cheap holiday. :D

Our cars are made in South Africa. I know a South African (who dosen't there are heaps of them living here now) and he rubbished SA build quality even on the BMW 3 series that are built there. So we are probably lucky only minor things on some cars and gees when you are driving these things at 7000+ revs expect something to fluck up or off. As for Honda lets see how they go now they are built all over the world. All the new Civics we get are built in Thailand there quality is yet to be proven so not knocking them either.

Young David came home from school one day and found his pet chicken laying on the ground with his legs pointing straight up into the sky. When his father got home, he explained that the chicken has died and his legs were pointed up to Jesus in heaven. They buried the chicken and that was that. Two weeks later his dad came home from work and David ran up to him yelling, "Daddy, Daddy, we nearly lost Mommy today." "What?" his father replied. "When I got home from school, Mommy was laying on the bed with her legs pointing up in the air yelling, 'Jesus, I'm coming, Jesus I'm coming.' If it wasn't for Uncle Terry holding her down we would have lost her for sure!"

Don't know you got a Coke bottle and a can of paint. Whoooooooooooooooooo

So I guess ORANGE is not a colour either because it's a fruit (try telling that to an XR5 owner). Silver is a colour - it is the colour of silver Orange is a colour - it is not made of oranges - it is the colour of oranges

I am starting to scrape the barrel now will look for a new source. Fred and his wife Edna went to the state fair every year. Every year Fred would say, "Edna, I'd like to ride in that there airplane." And every year Edna would say, "I know Fred, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars." One year Fred and Edna went to the fair and Fred said, "Edna, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance." Edna replied, "Fred that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars." The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars." Fred and Edna agreed and up they go. The pilot does all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He does all his tricks over again, but still not a word. They land and the pilot turns to Fred, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't." Fred replied, "Well, I was going to say something when Edna fell out of the plane, but ten dollars is ten dollars."

Well I will see how it runs on it. But will probably stick to the BP which has been great to date and save the 2c/l.

Local Caltex has just started selling Vortex 98 so as usual running low (light on) dropped in. Pizzed when I saw the price 12 cents above the price of standard unleaded. Put in $30 and got 20.28l at 1.479c/l. I was not happy paying 10c/l extra for BP. I won't be going back to Caltex for an extra 2c/l. What is the mark up in your area if it's different I will contact Caltex and complain. I hate getting ripped off.

TOYOTA’S forthcoming new-generation Corolla will have a cleaner, more efficient and more powerful 1.8-litre four-cylinder engine when it reaches Australia early next year. According to industry journal Automotive News this week, the new 1.8 will debut a new family of engines ranging from 1.6 to 3.0 litres in capacity. Claimed to offer at least a five per cent improvement in fuel efficiency compared to the current engine, the new powerplant will be smaller and lighter than the current engine and use dual variable valve timing and ultra-light pistons. It is also said to reduce friction by using roller bearings in the rocker arms. To reduce size, Toyota has apparently used a modular front section of the engine, which incorporates the water pump and chain cover. Smaller-diameter spark plugs have also been employed to reduce engine size. The engine will be built at Toyota’s Shimoyama engine plant in Miyoshi, near Toyota City in Japan.

woman woke in the middle of the night to find her husband missing from their bed. In the stillness of the house, she could hear a muffled sound downstairs. She went downstairs and looked all around, still not finding her husband. Listening again, she could definitely hear moaning. She went down to the basement to find her husband, crouched in the corner facing the wall, sobbing. "What's wrong with you?" She asked him. "Remember when your father caught us having sex when you were 16?" he replied. "And remember he said, I had two choices: I could either marry you, or spend the next 20 years in prison." Baffled, she said, "Yes, I remember, so what?" "I would have gotten out today."

A little boy and his grandfather are raking leaves in the yard. The little boy finds an earthworm trying to get back into its hole. He says, "Grandpa, I bet I can put that worm back in that hole." The grandfather replies, "I'll bet you five dollars you can't. It's too wiggly and limp to put back in that little hole." The little boy runs into the house and comes back out with a can of hairspray. He sprays the worm until it is straight and stiff as a board. Then he puts the worm back into the hole. The grandfather hands the little boy five dollars, grabs the hairspray, and runs into the house. Thirty minutes later the grandfather comes back out and hands the little boy another five dollars. The little boy says, "Grandpa, you already gave me five dollars." The grandfather replies, "I know. That's from your grandma."

I thought that was only if you changed the springs (lowered). Thanks I will check. What am I looking for by the way. Oil leak. Bounce it and see if not normal ????

They are all removable. Just depends on how long you have got. But I agree for the best look the genuine article is the best. Its quickly removed and the plastic cover goes in the hole to tidy it up. The wiring harness is an extra cost as well.

Engine mounts do have a bad effect on axle tramp (that's why I put it in as a suggestion) . I know from past experience with a Vitara I owned it was like that from new. They did not tighten them up at the factory and once done problem gone. I'm leaning more towards the tyres being on the way out . Although its a 03 Stivo its still in early 30K's so shocks should still be OK. I'll try the tyre replacement 1st.

I seem to be getting a fair bit of axle tramp these days even with a moderately fast take off. Could it be: 1. Tyres are getting near the end of their useful life so are they just letting go now and not gripping especially with a bit of drizzle on the road 2. Crappp roads in Brissy all seem to have corragations in them especially at stop lights - from all the buses I think. Also with the drought the oil and crappp on the road is bad (especially when a bit wet) 3. My s**te driving - but it hasn't happened in the last couple of years of driving it so probably not that 4. Something else wrong with the car - engine mounts loose or something. What do you think could be wrong it is p' ing me off at the moment.

One night a guy got really really drunk. In the morning, he rolled over and sleeping peacefully beside him was the ugliest girl he'd ever seen. Very quietly, he slipped his arm out from under her, got up, and dressed as fast as he could. He put a twenty-dollar bill on the bed and started to tip-toe out. Just then he felt a tug on his pant leg. Looking down, he saw a girl lying on the floor and just as ugly as the one in the bed. She looked up at him, smiled a toothless smile, and asked, "What? Nothing for the bridesmaid?"

I thought that said the top 10 posers

Collingwood girls - gotta love them! A Collingwood girl walks into the local dry cleaners. She places a garment on the counter. "I'll be back tomorrow afternoon to pick up my dress." she says. "Come again?" says the worker, cupping his ear. "No" she replies. "This time it's mayonnaise." Another Collingwood girl was involved in a serious crash, there's blood everywhere. The paramedics arrive and drag the girl out of the car till she's lying flat out on the road. Medic: "OK, I'm going to check if you're concussed." Sharon: "Ok." Medic: "How many fingers am I putting up?" Sharon: "Oh my sh!t I'm paralysed from the waist down!" A Collingwood girl goes to Centrelink to register for child benefit. "How many children?" asks the assessor. "Ten" replies the Collingwood girl, "Ten?"says the Centrelink worker. "What are their names?" "Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan, Nathan,Nathan, Nathan and Nathan" "Doesn't that get confusing?" "Naah..." says the Collingwood girl. "Its great because if they are out playing in the street I just have to shout NATHAN, YER DINNER'S READY or NATHAN GO TO BED NOW and they all do it..." "What if you want to speak to one individually?" says the perturbed Centrelink worker. "That's easy," says the Collingwood girl... "I just use their surnames" A Collingwood Girl enters a sex shop & asks for a vibrator. The man says: "Choose one from our range on the wall." She says "I'll take the red one." The man replies: "That's a fire extinguisher."

Great photos. How scary is that bit of single lane road in the photo where one side is cliff and the other nothing. Did you get the passenger to tell you how huge the drop was on the other side. Luckily I always seem to have a slower driver in front of me (so never pushed it up there and first time was at night) as that's one bit of road you don't want to make a mistake on.

One morning a man comes into the church on crutches. He stops in front of the holy water and splashes some of it on both of his legs, then throws away his crutches. An altar boy witnessed the scene and runs into the rectory to tell the priest what he'd just seen. Without batting an eye, the priest says, "Son, you've just witnessed a miracle. Tell me, where is this man?" "Over by the holy water, Father. Flat on his ar$e."

Two missed calls from this number today 02 8404 2296 at 2.01.29pm and 2.01.20pm Thanks won't waste my money ringing back. On Optus by the way.

She married and had 13 children. Her husband died. She married again and had 7 more children. Again, her husband died. But, she remarried and this time had 5 more children. Her third husband died, and alas, she finally died, also. Standing before her coffin, the preacher prayed for her. He thanked the Lord for this very loving woman and said, "Lord, they're finally together." One mourner leaned over and quietly asked her friend, "Do you think he means her first, second or third husband?" The friend replied, "I think he means her legs."
