Iam too much hooked on going under water, it is better then anything on this earth! Love it!
Tis freaky. When tsunami hit Banda Aceh, in Bali divers were in water when change of currents hit. They were at 13m and real quick got down to 54m and then bubbles were going down. They whirlpooled back up and got pulled some 600m past dive boat were they were moored just as quick. Now that is worse then a Great White! SORT OF?
Wow………that would be real scary! I admire those that can go into the depths,but I am happy diving no higher than I can stand thanks! Love going to Monkey Mia every Easter ,great place,waters warm,sand is white,fantastic place to relax!
No phones,computers,or tele’s. Fantastic holiday ! Our country has some of the best places on earth to visit and many never see their own door step before visiting others!
Hate those big resorts…….like my own bit of secluded beach !
Just hope kids like Toyota Paul dont have the same mindset to give Aussie places (like with cars) the big flick.
hahaha ,you couldn’t resist could you!
I am off talk tomorrow!
I’M TOYOTA PAUL, Ive noticed you talking aboot asstraila, japan is more reliable then that stupid asstraila.
No, just kidding, it’s me! LOL!!
I was just told (I didn’t have the TV on so didn’t see it) in today’s practice, pRick Kelly made a mistake, slapped a wall and came to a stop in the middle of the track. Skaife has come around the corner and T-boned him.
My brother said it was a low speed corner so there probably wasn’t too much damage.
Gee thats just plain AWEFULL Watto…BAWHAAAAA……!!!!!
Low speed ,lets hope not! Told you Skaffie would run out of talent! Poor little Crash Bandicoot,some one pass me a tissue!
That should off happend along Conrod at Bathurst this year :) HA,HA,HA LOL!!!!!!
Half of it did to………to Crash,It was so close to Craig when he came out the other end!
So did they stack today? I couldn’t find anything earlier on V8 Supercar site or Forums.
Ok found some results for Indy practice today off yahoo
Ford Performance Racing’s Mark Winterbottom has shrugged off his Bathurst 1000 disappointment to top the practice charts at the V8 Supercar Challenge at Surfers Paradise.
Winterbottom clocked 1 minute 49.7 seconds around the unforgiving 4.47km street circuit – two-tenths of a second quicker than Holden’s Garth Tander (1:49.91) and Bathurst champion Craig Lowndes (1:49.93).
Lowndes’ championship-leading team-mate Jamie Whincup was fifth with qualifying to be held later today.
There was high drama in the day’s earlier practice session when Holden Racing Team veteran Mark Skaife T-boned championship contender Rick Kelly.
Kelly made contact with the tyre wall on his final lap in the 50 minute session and was stranded in the middle of the track at turn eight.
An unsighted Skaife crunched the side of the Toll HSV Dealer Holden, both teams forced to work hectically in the two-hour gap between sessions to repair significant damage to the cars.
Kelly’s time in practice two was 1.7 seconds off Winterbottom while Skaife was 2.5 seconds off the pace.
They’ve been showing it on 7 and 10 news/sports.
Yer but not in the land of 10 years and 2 hours behind! Only 4.30 still!
Of course, sorry. It’s worth waiting to see tho, lol.
Check your email Andrew M and Watto !
Hey Missile and Going Ford, search for “indy news” on youtube. Someone has pointed his webcam at his TV and put it up already. It showed more than I saw on the news here.
Crap, searching for “indy news” brings up rubbish even tho that’s the title of the clip.
Just add “/watch?v=dasmeyPjVuk” onto the end of the usual youtube dot com
Cant find it……….Send me the link via email ,please!
Was that just too trick me and get me off this site? Because you just said it after I went to You Tube. LOL!!
email sent BM, plus a pic of my car.
Yeah sorry about that, I expected searching for “indy news” would’ve put that at the top of the list because that’s the title of the clip.
Thanks got it……..cool drive ! Now I know why the nick name!
Got the link……..loved Skaffies line “I had no where to go”
How about home!!hehehe
Go Winterbottom! Looks like Crash ran out of talent too today.
Maybe his brakes are still playing up?
It has aftermarket taillights and headlights now. Don’t like the original headlights unless in XR form.
Yep I am not fond of them either….I put angle eyes in the M3 the only after market thing I have added….they look cool but like most after market parts temperamental!
It was my XMAS present a few years ago,got them from the U.K.
Last year I had all the rims fixed a repainted cause I hate marks in them! Thats about all I have had to touch on the M3
Have some pics somewhere of it will try digging them up too!
Thanks for the complement, had it 7 years with no trouble. I’m getting itchy tho which is why I’m eyeing of Orion ‘Phoon.
Where is Naughtyius Maximus tonight?
According to Toyota_Paul it should’ve fallen to bits by now. Good thing none of my cars have matched his findings. (Except the Camira I had, still trying to repress that memory)
Cairns…….! Gone for a week ! It will be quiet without him,poor Going Ford is the Going Thing ,will be lost without him! The pair are like so funny together sometimes!
AHHHH Camiras,the car with countless water hoses! We all have a bad memory of something we have owned. Guys in our workshop use to draw short straws if they ever had to work on one!hahaha
Thats ok we have just bought a Taxi,so there you go.
That’s funny, because an impossible to get at waterhose, up under the intake manifold, which blew is the reason it blew up the second time.
Winterbottom’s qualifying time has been excluded for an “ignition timing discrepancy”.
Check v8supercars dot com dot au
Off for a while to watch collectors on the ABC ,I am an antique junkie as well. Back soon! Dont forget Chasers repeat on tonight at 11.20 if you missed it Wednesday!
See thats what I am talking about,stupid bloody water hoses!
Try explaining to a GM dealer in parts what water hose you want,hes looking on his fish {not sure if thats how you spell it} with bewilderment in his eyes? Let alone having to replace them all!!!!!!!! Oh F it Ill bring the bloody thing up and you can match it up for me!!!That was normally the answer,piece of crap it was!
Ignition timing……..What The ? They check the timing ????????WOW ! I thought it was a parts thing only!
Nothing wrong with Skafies timing…….bang .Spot on cleaned up Crash .Well done!
Fiche? As in microfiche I think you mean.
Dunno what to think about timing. How could FPR stuff that up -or- if it were deliberate, penalty fits -or- scrutineers are desperately looking for a way to give TOOL a leg up. *shrug*
;-) Skaife does has good timing.
Yeah I don’t know about that ignition timing either. There is no information on the v8Supercars website.
Thanks Reaper thats the one…….Fiche!
Your right about the scrutineers……HRT AND TOOL have got them on the ball! Lookout they have done this before ,they become pathetic as its the only way they can find a solution to slow the Fords down! HRT GARAGE SAYS” Oh look he had his foot over the line from the garage, there only meant to have ra ra ra amount of people in pit lane when a car is in” pffftt your pathetic HRT !
Lets hope Ford have got the eyes on Holden too !
So I just read Gorman is expecting to sell around 500-550 per month of the Mondeo, without impinging on Falcon volume.
Lets hope it doesn’t
I guess it is still front wheel drive and those that prefer RWD will stick with it!
ha haha ha missile i just caught the end of the argument from the other day just now ha ha ha ha yeah just returning some stirring he he he
hey i like the “nothing wrong with skaifes timing”
hey can watto or missile send me that You tube link aswell?
I thought so,when you didn’t come on last night I thought you were dirty on me!! Funny boy!
Just looking through some pics found one you will get a giggle out of .Will try finding that link for you! Sned you both!
Try send both!
I am a tragic Holden fan and have had Kingswoods and Commodores in my family and as my own my entire life. I reckon Ford stands for Found On Rubbish Dumps : )
3 weeks ago I took a test drive of the new Mondeo Turbo Diesel to see what all the fuss is about. The next day I traded my Commodore in and bought one for the missus. I still feel dirty swapping a Holden for a Ford but it really is that good and sadly head and shoulders (IMO) above the current Aussie large car offerings and Toyota white goods on wheels.
Hopefully Holden will make something good enough for me to head back to the Lion for my next purchase.
Don’t worry Freaky those pangs will subside eventually. Believe me u will still have a soft spot for the General.
Most important thing is u can still differentiate between a nice looking car and a frig. Ha Ha.
Seen the Mondeo at the Sydney Show and it certainly is a beautiful looking vehicle.Congrats.
freakystyley: maybe you need to take a hike back to your Holdenwoo forum
But you made a good choice buying a Ford because as far as I know Holden stands for Holden Owners Lick D1ck Every Night! : )
