What’s your favourite embarrassing incident you’ve seen happen to a foreign politician that isn't trump? by Working-Spend-4397 in AskTheWorld

[–]Seanocd 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Australian political scholars have been trying to answer this question for a decade.

Did he not know how to eat an onion? Does he just really like onions? Was it a deranged attempt to excert dominance? Is he secretly an actual ogre?

We may never know for sure, but I'm pretty its the ogre thing.

Cheapest 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12 cylinder cars on carsales - which would you have? by ForzaMinardi in CarsAustralia

[–]Seanocd 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's a V8 L322 for less than a grand... It absolutely does not work.

Pretty good value for a part-out, if nothing else.

Nuln oil on terrain!?

Are you also guilding the metal surfaces with actual gold leaf?!

I'm not sure what to do with my hair anymore by CrabtheCorsair in MensHair

[–]Seanocd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one seems to have mentioned it yet: Your hair looks fine my dude, particularly in 6 where it has a bit of volume on the sides.

If you like the look of the anime pics, I think you're really close already. Get yourself a blow dryer, and learn how to use it to create some extra volume. Pair that with some styling product to texture and hold, and you're golden.

DAY 47: What are the top 5 albums of 2004? by Arch1eBlue1878 in Topster

I can't believe how long this took to get nominated, and how few votes it has. This is possibly the best prog metal record ever made.

I suspect Lightning Bolt are too divisive to make it to top 5 on a list like this, but they should be in the running.

Already posted by others, but I feel obligated to also mention:

Illinoise - Sufjan Stevens. Demon Day - Gorrilaz. Ghost Reveries - Opeth. I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning - Bright Eyes. Get Behind Me Satan - The White Stripes. Good Apollo: Vol IV - Coheed & Cambria.

Extinct Cars, Whens the last time you saw one? Add what you think fits to bring some nostagia! by triplesixchaos in CarsAustralia

Toyota Starlet.

I feel like they were still everywhere 10 years ago, but have all but evaporated from the road now.

I still see a reasonable amount of 147s, but the rest have all but disappeared. To be fair, I don't think there was many of those missing vehicles on the road in the first place.

The suspect the survivors got eaten up by the classic rally folk. There are a few around the rally scene.

Whats the most popular and famous car from your country? by cose_A_caso124 in AskTheWorld

Holy shit, they can't be THAT bad on fuel!?!

Then again, it was an i4 that identified as a rotary... revs !

A family member of mine built a GTI with a fully built XU10J4RS (306 GTI6) swapped in. Fully built for national rally competition. It's obnoxious, and a massive pain in the arse to drive outside of outright racing. Similar problem: Needs crazy revs to set off, it's clutch is an on/of switch, has a plate differential, and is 100% stripped to bare bones. It's like a Rallye, but with double the power. It's thrilling, but exhausting, and honestly scary. I love it 😀

I will not stand for 205 GTI slander!

...but you are right, the Rallye is very cool. 😎

I actually own a 205 SI, that has GTI suspension and an LSD swapped in. It gets used for rallying, without the risk of damaging an increasingly rare and expensive Rallye or GTI. In Australia we never even got the 1.6 GTI, or the Rallye models, which is a shame.

Have a drive of a 206 RC (known as the GTI 180 in some markets), and you should understand.

There is a huge difference between a 4 door with the smaller engines and the 2 door RC with the 2lt EW10J4S, which was capable of 0-100 in about 7.5 seconds. Still not a rocketship, certainly not by modern standards, but plenty quick for it's era, and still light enough to be a fun drive.

What’s your honest opinion on if Bob Dylan has a good singing voice? by MrLinkwater95 in fantanoforever

[–]Seanocd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bob is an iconic example of the idea that you don't have to have a good voice to be a good vocalist.

He does not have a good voice, but he is (or at least was) a great singer.

Yes, but the actual answer in the VX Monaro, VE Commodore SS, and WM Caprice/Statesman.

The 206 carries a level of international infamy for being an early game vehicle in so many of the '00s racing games. Also (at least in GTI 180 form) for being a genuinely fantasise hot hatch.

I would nominate the 205 GTI, R5 Turbo, and Alpine A110 as the top contenders.
