HA HA , knew you'd bite ! but seriously

that's a lot of revs running those gears.

I couldn't resist with the way you worded it.

As for "armchair racer" I've got a lot of trophies & prizes laying around, both drag & state dyno shoot outs so it must be good chair i have.............

I love the way some people on the internet make a fool of themselves and then try and act like they meant to do it, like it's some kind of intelligence test and you've just fallen into their rapturous trap because they're so much more intelligent. He knew you'd bite, OverheadCam, he'd been planning it from the start!! Toying with us! Waiting, watching, planning...

So, z_boy, are you an idiot or a troll? Neither are welcome here, so please change your tune or f*ck off.

Come off it ? the way it was written deserved a bit of aussie sarcasm, don't be a wowser about it, SORRY if you didn't understand what i meant. Although the zap's rat monaro did run that time.

As for being a troll or idiot, blow me I actually put my money where my mouth is and participate in MM events such as the 25th anniversary run (on my johnny the boy z 1000)

It was also me who posted the pics of where jebediah's plane is now sitting , but i spose that's what most idiots do, try to show interesting things to others .

perhaps you should lighten up or get a sense of humour tom.

I don't want to argue with you, I'm just not looking forward to the arrival of another new person who spouts crap and is generally a total cockmuncher. I'm bored with it and so is everyone else. If you're not like this, great, that's great news and I look forward to many happy hours of discussion with another fellow fan. But if you are, you're not welcome.

I know I sound a bit c*ntish here and there, but what can you do? The world is predominantly full of people who are very annoying and don't listen to polite requests.

And of course I don't have a sense of humour. I'm an Englishman.

Hey thats a bit full on !

I'm not "new" You're only 4 month's up on me, I'm not spouting crap either. remind me not to use any humour,dry sarcasm or any shallow reading of the way words are put ever again.I'll take that last point on board for sure , geeze!

hell cuff me and give me a hacksaw please........

LOL!!

Sorry if I caused offence. Just bored of boring people being anuses.. hoping to stem the tide!

The thing about text is (I've said this several times before on this forum, I do believe..) that you can't actually convey sarcasm, or any emotion for that matter, only you know the tone in which you meant something you typed, so that's generally the reason for people misunderstanding what someone else means on the internet.

..Is the plural of "anuses" "ani", does anyone know?

Just re-read my earlier post, by the way z_boy. Within its sentences, I did NOT mean to insinuate that I was sick of YOU personally and that YOU were a talking a load of crap and being stupid etc etc etc.. that was directed to the whole of the online world that might stroll into our coveted forum and go anal at us. It happens an awful lot

YEAH, yeah what ever,

Some people also get sick of reading comments such as

"my mate has (insert something to sound "cool"or fast etc etc) "

Do something yourself & then tell everyone about it, build your own car / bike whatever. Plus if you seriously believe 180mph at the half track mark with that set up you are only kidding yourself, The thread was about what YOU owned NOT a mate. I may have replied in the dry humour way but be realistic when talking drag racing speed's please. Some of us spend a LOT of money going fast and hate it when ill informed comments get made to the world.

The price of fuel is throught the roof (I've sold off the hardtop) and I need a daily, city driver!

I'm looking around at the small fuel effecient cars and don't really know where to start! Can you guys recomment a car to go for (or stay away from)...I have been looking at the Focus/Astra type european cars...but any feedback/advice would be appreaciated.

D'OH!!

half asleep!

Mate, i'm guessing you're after something relatively new & there's plenty to chose from out there. If it were me, I'd be going for an older sh*tbox. I used to have a '70 corolla 1200 which had a Celica 5sp 'box in it. That thing would run off the exhaust fumes of the car in front!

Back when petrol was around 50-60c/L it used to cost me about $20- $25 a month to run
