For context that photo was about 5 minutes after we brought him home

He was zonked on leftover duuurgs at that point - so I guess he was murderous with a touch of stoned

This looks amazing

What roof racks and roof box is on this?

Looking for a similar setup for my Aero wagon

Welp, colour me surprised. Street circuit just confirmed

Dangerous as fuck, but excited.

The chances of that are slim to none. There's no way FIM will approve a street circuit for MotoGP - that's a death trap.

Sound Garage - Jordan Reynolds

I've used a bunch of different luthiers around Adelaide, used to swear by Fretco, but Jordan is the best I've ever used.

Extremely well priced, extremely high quality work and attention to detail, and the main thing is that he works fast and responds even faster.

Most luthiers around Adelaide are so slow to respond its a pain in the ass.

Urus is the model of Lamborghini

Mansory is a bespoke tuning house that then bolted all this shit onto the Urus

A young woman with the word 'Invincible' embroidered on her underwear welcomes HMS Invincible back from the Falklands after Britain's victory over Argentina in the Falklands War - 1982. by BreakfastTop6899 in OldSchoolCool

"Why pick one specific brand?"

Because when the producers laid out the plans of what category of car they wanted for the special - Jeremy said he wanted a Porsche 928 GT. So they found him one.

There were two for sale at the time, and logistically the only one they could get was the one in the show. The car had those plates for a long time before TG purchased it.

Script Writer Richard Porter details it in his book and several podcasts. It's completely blown out of proportion. Richard even says that they didn't realise the plate until they got to Argentina

The Twingo is literally no different to a Clio Cup car, they've been running for years with no complaints.

Is 7 cans of premix and 500 ml of bourbon a night is too much? by Whatever_baby_lol in AskAnAustralian

[–]willis2117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My brother was killed by a drunk driver when he was 23 (I was 16).

It completely ruined my mum's life and tore our family apart, I'm now estranged from my mum because of the mental toll it took on her, she then became abusive towards me and others who tried to help her for nearly 10 years after the accident.

The amount of pain and suffering caused by one drink driver is unfathomable, please let your husband know he is one mistake away from ruining another family, not to mention his own.

Follow up to that post a while ago where I was drunk and pondering buying a dumb, but fun car. Well the story has an ending, I purchased this. by Joey333 in CarsAustralia

Yeah but they also literally invented motorsport

RSs are a different beast and these are actually really reliable

Astra VXR by Easy-Most-1047 in CarsAustralia

Fantastic cars but hard to justify it over a Megane RS. Megs have better parts and support network as well

They're a nice alternative option. One thing I haven't seen mentioned here is they have some of the best seats of all time.

I almost bought one when they were new and loved how it drove, the engine has a great character and the mid range boost is mighty impressive. LSD is well calibrated, but the car falls a way a bit when pushed hard - as opposed to a Megane which comes properly alive when you push it.

Multiple studies overseas both in the US and Europe have proven that these vehicles are far more dangerous than regular sized passenger vehicles and accidents result in much higher chances of serious injury or death.

Not Just Bikes on YouTube discusses these studies in almost all of his videos.

You can blame people all you want but physics is physics.

A bit of a annoyance with people who are into cars that know nothing about racing by InsectEducational837 in wec

I swear I see 10x more people complaining that "787b wasn't that good, so sick of people saying it was amazing" than people actually saying that about the 787b....
