I'm dominating this filet mignon

I'm a little emotional about the demise of Holden and Ford.

No matter how fancy the last cars are, they will always be the last in a legacy that has stretched back nearly 50 years.

 

The mining went offshore, the clothing industry followed, most service centres went overseas. But this is different. This changes the feeling of being able to sit in the seat of something, and say, this was built here. The knowledge you and your friends have, with the passion, and the great events; this is what will continue to remind people of when Australia MADE THINGS. It will happen again, but it will be out of ugly necessity rather than the poetic ambition of days gone by. The Australian dream dies with these manufacturers, and we have nobody but ourselves to blame.

 

RIP AUS AUTO INDUSTRY.

 

If anyone finds an Elfin on the cheap... let me know.

I'm going to make a big prediction, and say the car industry as a whole will come back to Aus within the next 10 years.

I don't know how or who, but I think we have too much pride as a country to just let it die like that.

It will go the same way as the British auto industry. Good and bad, I guess.

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I was chatting to a guy at work about it the other day and about 4 people within earshot all started piping up about funny episodes they'd watched.

In the US, Time Warner Cable and Comcast are looking at merging and becoming one massive pay-tv company.

If the government lets the merger happen (DOJ investigating anti-competitive claims) the CEO of TWC who has only been in the job for 2-month, will get an $80mil payout.

It would basically be like Woolworths and Coles merging, would effectively ruin any competition anywhere.

Installed a wideband in my car today.
Not sure why, when it's stock..

Guess being my first turbo I'm just being cautious about everything.

Are you pulling a Cam and thinking of selling the ute already?

'That sort of ute' being a hilux/ranger/triton etc No way is the maloo going!!


I made a new Maloo friend tonight!

went for a drive in Newy, was about to head home when i seen an older bloke driving a white VE maloo, so i just followed him and hoped he'd pull over along the foreshore so we could chat but he didn't stop, and took a few back streets so i just kept following him lol, then eventually got next to him and yelled out my window asking if i could have a talk to him about his car, and we pulled over and got talking, he was such a top bloke! told me about a few good places to take the ute in for a service, and if i want any work done. He was in his late 40's but yeah such a legend. I forgot his name, but hopefully i see him around We ended up chatting about the cars for like 20 mins. 

I was on such a high ha ha

Good morning everyone. It's quite a nice Saturday to wake up to. My phone (the app is powered by Yahoo) has been predicting rain for the past two days yet we've had nothing.
