I like them. Well my 'S series' at least is pretty nice. Bluetooth handsfree, etc. Mine came with a free '09 map upgrade worth $500 but havent installed it yet. Does the job anyway :)

They all have the mod cons these days. Bluetooth handsfree is nice. But I never use it, as the speakers in them things aren't the greatest. Usually, the person at the other end, suffer poor audio quality.

Map Upgrade $500?

JUMPING JESUS ON A CRACKER!!!


FCUKING HELL!!

google is your friend in terms of research for "free" upgrades ;)

then torrents take care of the rest :ph34r:

True. I'll fight for it, that's for sure. I used to have mates that would rate phones that way, whether or not you'd go toe to toe with someone trying to gank you. Ahh. Freo boy life.

Dad let me ride his 1300cc Yamaha Royal Star on the weekend, Around the "backyard"

Never been on/in anything that quick, For a big heavy bike it absolutely flys! The B4 has nothing on it


This is what it looks like:
http://www.totalmoto...luxea-small.jpg
But with aftermarket exhausts, Sounds so much like a harley its not funny

He's had it for 3 years, Since new, Ride's it only about once a month lol

Makes me wanna get a bike licence, Should i or shouldn't i?
Don't really wanna be a temporary aussie, Just for cruising, or should i get one when i'm older?

Hahahaha, I'm in the stone age when it comes to technologies, I rock a Nokia 6300, does what a phone should.... it rings people, sends texts, takes pics/vids... can even get on the interwebz with it :blink:! Cost $170 outright 18mths ago. Tough too, mate ran over his in his VY and didn't even mark it!! No navigation unit.... don't like being told where to go.... + I can read a map before I go somewhere and get there with no hassles anyway so don't see the need. :drinks:

I think that article forgets about all us grammar nazi's out here, doing our bit.


Yep.

It's not a divide, Nik.

They're just fcuking morons.


You guys ever seen Idiocracy? Mad movie. Look it up.

When I first got msn messenger, i frequented the intrewebz tlak but it didnt take me long to realise it could become a bad habit. As a 12 year old i valued the skill of being able to construct a decent sentence and spllign it correklee.
The occasional abbreviation doesnt hurt ('u', 'y', 'r', etc) especially when sending quick emails around the office but for it to become standard language is ridiculous!


I have never really gotten in to the whole sms / internet talk thing. Whereever I type / talk to people online I always try to do my best in terms of spelling etc.. If I let it slip it will just become a habit and then when it comes time to pick up a pen again I will have no idea.

I am unsure of how people even manage it when text messaging. My phone is set to dictionary, so it encourages people to spell correctly and use the entire word. I think using the internet has done me a lot of good with regards to spelling. I run spell check on all the forums I use, and now I find the dreaded red squiggly line is only there when I have clumsy fingers, not spelling mistakes.

It also gives you a bit more confidence to use words that you may have heard, and used before, but don't know the actual spelling of. Thus increasing vocabulary, and generally making you a more interesting person to converse with.

But what do I know? Let's see what's on TV.


Haha, nice one bruv. Watch idiocracy. My phone too is set to dictionary - have you ever tried abbreviating words like 'you' and 'be' ? It actually takes more time and effort than just typing the word in correctly. Stupid!


Still love my HTC touch, but I'm looking to upgrade. Nokia or non apple ONLY for me.

Must sync with Outlook.


I am looking at new phone options. The new Blackberry Bold and the Nokia E71 have my attention at the moment.

Hahaha. I remember the blue screen days. You could swap a blue screen for like a half o, but a green screen 33 would only net a stick. So I heard.

Why in most cases you shouldn't try to avoid animals

Doesn't say it in that article, but in the paper it said the koala suffered a crushed skull and had to be put down anyway...

Decisions decisions...I don't know how you do it!

I'd go the Absolute Vintage just cause it looks more traditions (white), but either one looks great! :)


And me? I rock a basic Nokia. Cost $149 brand new and it even has the Interwebs on it! I was surfing SC today whilst I was at uni in a mega-long lecture haha...

Just had a look, as said already any of those cars will look awesome, my vote goes to either "Clyde" & "Lady Di", or "Dolly" & "Marquette" tho.
