I'll glady admit it - aqua planing scares me. Most motorists don't know or understand how it occurs. But if you do, then you'll know how easily it can occur and how badly it can end. I once nearly lost it in the Outback in heavy rain on a sealed country road. The VDC (stability control) did things no driver could possibly do and it kept me on the straight and narrow after a brief moment losing control driving on an arrow straight road.

Storm is brewing here. Great light show. But not much in the way of rainfall.....yet.

Haha my head would explode trying to prioritise that. I mean obviously a new turbo is right up there....but a quick rack sounds nice too!

What dash cluster you getting?

Hhmm that's weird. They can be replaced though. I know Tom replaced the rings with red ones after one of originals failed. Also Josh replaced one of the bulbs as well if I remember correctly...

Older than me = old.

Don't feel bad. A guy at work is 4 months younger than me and he calls me 'old guy'. I'm just lashing out where I can.

Yes it is him. At least if I know he has it it won't get wrecked into a tree after 5 minutes.

Ugh i could ramble on for forking days about this stuff.
