You can still park the Foz there?
Thats what they're built for

It can't handle it, they are soft off roaders built for the city

Ahh they do alright. Good ride height and a low range gearbox makes it decent.

I reckon it's the road tires that let it down.

Ha!

A teenage motorist flipped his Honda sedan 30 metres into Western Power's Willagee substation overnight, sparking an emergency recovery operation.

I could but shit would get real messy getting in or out thr bout 4inches of water and mud sitting on clay

You could put on your yellow welly boots and splash around in the puddle waving your arms and professing your love for chocolate biscuits and bunny rabbits.

I do that anyway

Did you get one Buzz?

Yeah mate, got a SF (01), it was either a SF or new one (Dad was adament that we didn't want the SG) but couldn't afford a new one and a new kitchen so went the SF. Was waiting till wheels are on before pics.

You know the GFC's had an impact when s/car companies can no longer afford colours or clear coat

But,

Without any further adieu...



Look ok... not completely sold on em, hopefully they'll grow on me quickly.

*edit2* Nik, to answer yr question from bout 6mths ago... the palm tree survived my transplant... that's it in the near background

I like them! Did they just have the std alloys on previously? The ones the still put on the base model ...God knows why!

[skillionaire]

Yer they suit the car pretty well mate. Looks like beautiful weather over your way!!!

[buzzda]

Cheers guys, nah didn't have alloys, had steelies. Like these:


Yeah, awesome weather if your a fish... or a bullrout

[buzzda]

Just did a bit of comparing the wheels

Weight- new 20kg, old 23kg (with tyres)
Size- new 215/60R16, old 205/70R15

According toThis calculatoR
Radius- new 331.97mm, old 333.75mm
Speedo diff 0.543% fast (speed will be 99.467 at 100kph on speedo)

Win!!

Came off well there mate! Improvements to the look of the car = a millionty! Hmm those are the wheels i was talking about...i assumed alloy because they dont have hub caps. Just a different version of steelies then? My mate has a white 98 GX Foz and just got it serviced. He got married around the time he was due for a service (230k) and had no money for it. Got $1400 worth of work done over the past few days (parts and labour). Ouch! I took him to pick up his car and left mine there. Going to have its 160,000km service tomorrow. I get to drive the Mini to work!

looking good Ty, good to see you were able to get one quick smart, we still have customers that have been waiting for about 6 weeks for theirs.

Im pretty stoked actually, extended warranty claim was a breeze! called Friday and got through quickly, Tuesday (after long weekend) tech came out and tested tv, advised new Picture tube was required. that afternoon he called and said extended warranty group was going to replace it. i called them the next day and they had already emailed The Good Guys and new LG lcd was ready to be picked up.. called them up and said i wanted to upgrade.
was put on hold and i picked it up sunday night after getting back from Geelong.

also you going to come along to car wash next Wednesday mate?

[Hypnotic]

excellent, much better upgrade than an LG, and damn Good Guys for actually having something to sell, bastards!! I will try and make it down on wednesday, have another destination to head that night but i don't think ill be bothered to drive there.
