  1. The euro was my other choice for vehicles. It looks great with those wheels!
  2. that's excellent! maybe I'll make that my first mod
  3. omg hubby :P have a great time, miss klara does "da hubby" implies "mrs" klara? :) anyway have fun klara!
  4. I was referring to the quote above when I made the "frozen" statement.
  5. quite very true... I just had a look at the paint protection papers I got with mine... it says I need to take it in before it's 2nd yr birthday to maintain the warranty?!?! oh well.. one lesson learnt!
  6. can't believe the condition of the rolla before the transformation. how much would that have cost (if money matters)? pity those musical chairs can't play the full octave (i'm assuming there's only 4 sounds)
  7. don't really understand how this planet is "earth-like" considering you'll be frozen when you step out
  8. do you think 20" would fit on the aurion? be interesting to see those chrome pimp'in wheels on an aurion
  9. thanks for the pic... the muffler actually looks OK!
  10. sorry I'm pulling out.. sick again and on medication :(
  11. y'all doing better than what I'm doing... 13.5l/100km. About 3k :/
  12. *sigh* just being told by my 7yr old that he has a rock-climbing birthday party on sunday :( so sorry, won't be able to make it :/
  13. driving in sydney is horrible, transport ain't that great either! Having lived in Melbourne and Sydney (currently) proportionately... and no offense to sydneysiders. I still prefer Melbourne, being more laid back. rent is OK, you get what you paid for (most of the time), best to examine the property before signing the contract, do 6mths lease so at least if you don't like it you can move.
  14. please explain? All i can see is real-time GPS in toyotas
  15. glad you survived that Viet! and walked away unscathed! RIP to the celica, I hope you find another good ride :)
  16. that's cool... abit slow loading at work :/
  17. "the computer person" / IT advisor domestic childcarer domestic weekend cleaner
  18. Slightly off-topic... What's the ave. cost for vortex98 on a tuesday? I filled up on the that, spur of the moment lastnight
  19. I thought I do some research how fuel consumption are tested... Australian Design Rule 81/01 "The UN ECE Type 1 test, now used to collect emissions and fuel consumption data on new cars in Australia (and Europe), consists of five simulated driving cycles over a total distance of 11.023km. The urban (city) cycle takes 195 seconds. It's performed four times. It comprises 36.9 per cent of the total distance; the extra-urban (higway) cycle, which takes 400 seconds, is performed once. It comprises 63.1 per cent of the distance. The single fuel consumption figure, displayed on the label, is determined by applying these distance percentages to the actual urban and extra urban consumption numbers and adding the two for a final average. The fact that 63.1 per cent of the average is derived from the highway part of the test explains why the figure on the fuel consumption label bears little relationship to how much fuel your car will use in the city. It also explains why the gap between reality and laboratory numbers escalates in proportion to the size of the car and the capacity of its engine. The NISE2 study test devised by the Transport Systems Centre of South Australia is also a laboratory test but it is based on an analysis of actual driving patterns in Australian cities, using a sample of 60 popular cars, GPS tracking of routes, speeds and traffic flows. It's called the Australian petrol composite urban emissions drive cycle, or Petrol CUEDC. The test is a simulated 19.442km course and takes 29.95 minutes. Four types of conditions are simulated: residential, congested, arterial and freeway. Theoretically, it is possible to tailor this test, using the GPS data, to provide specific speed, traffic, road and geography profiles for state capital cities, which would give different consumption rates for the same car in, say, Melbourne, where it's dead flat and they drive as if they're asleep and Sydney, which is relatively hilly and has only two types of drivers: predators and victims." - Liquid Assets (Drive.com.au) The same information can also be found at Fuel Figures (NRMA Motoring & Services) So there we go.. I didn't know that!
