  1. I came across this while I was pretending to earn a salary at the office. I don't know if I should laugh or cry...do you?
  2. ya think?
  3. Supra Natural is on a roll! 10 points plus 5 bonus hacks toffees for getting two right answers in a row!!
  4. Supra Natural gets 10 points!
  5. Didn't Ultima also set the world record for the shortest 0-60-0 time, also on the Top Gear track?
  6. This should also be easy.
  7. Good grief. I can already picture him going all Steve Irwin with an HSV.
  8. I've seen just one example of this car, it's been in the country for the past 15 years or so. Hint: The one in SL is not the longer wheel base model.
  9. I use LED bulbs all around. The rear 1157s were a little expensive, but each light is comprised of 27 two chip red SMDs, which effectively means there's the equivalent of 54 red LEDs in each bulb. The front park lights have 7 three chip white SMDs with a colour temp of 6000K, so they look purple against my 4300K HIDs. For the turn indicators, you need to couple a load resistor in series or otherwise you'll have strobes, not turn indicators. Also, for newer cars with the "Bulb out" indicators, you will need to use a load resistor for each of the circuits i.e. front park lights, rear lights, etc otherwise the "Bulb out" indicator will be perpetually lit. P.S. For coloured lenses, you must purchase LEDs in the colour of the lens, because the filtered light from white LEDs has a much lower intensity when compared to using LEDs with a colour very close to that of the filter. This is because LEDs derive their colour from the metal used in the junction and not a coloured filter.
  10. w00t! My excessive obsession for rear engined vehicles finally paid off!
  11. I recall an old episode of Top Gear where Richard Hammonds decides to see if he can beat a Gatso at its own game. I think it took a TVR Tuscan going at 270km/h for the Gatso to not notice you. Next on my list, become filthy rich to buy a British Alfa.
  12. Simca? Edit: Finally located a photo. Simca 1000
  13. I thought that was just a myth. The real name is derived from "Star of Orion".
  14. Happy Birthday brother
  15. Nissan AD Wagon @DZ: I wasn't aware of the SL only rule, sorry about that. Couldn't help myself with the Starion
  16. Ahhh, the Datsun 720. My father owned one of the last iterations of that pickup (40 sri), with the modern gauge cluster, 3 spoke steering wheel, full length center consol and factory fitted A/C (yes, factory fitted, the A/C option was the right most setting on the air flow slider), and Nissan badging. Loved how it took over a minute for the glow plugs to heat up the block, and the clacking you can only get from a pushrod engine.
  17. Well since its open, I'd like to post a conundrum of my own. It is not a Toyota.
  18. Food is good. Cheese Rotti particularly. With iced Milo. And a Goldleaf. To finish with.
  19. Many sincere apologies. For my randomness. Pie is yummy. Especially Apple pie. That is why. I like Pie.
  20. And what about Kubica? Where did he come from? That was a major "WTF!?" moment for me.
  21. Save the money and effort and buy some nice carpets for your car instead.
  22. I think this topic has been discussed before, but just to point out that the Eprise comes with a Petrol engine as well. The Le Grand is the highest trim available, I've ridden one such example which had a 1800cc engine, climate control and Hyper CVT.
  23. Any one know where I can purchase a Guitar Hero controller here in SL? Mine met it's untimely demise on Sunday
  24. I like pie.
  25. 4A-GE 20V transplant
