Gents Hate to be a party pooper, but would like to point out that the checkpoint is within 100 yards of MB... so creative solutions will be required

Dunno about the Kandy example Ash, but I know there is one in colombo in the wanathamulla area... its just a bit further on from the Cricket ground if you're coming from baseline. orange car. Think it was discussed in the forum some time back. In VERY poor condition though, Literally "Kota Uda" it appears to be at some form of garage, but has been there for years AFAIK and there hasnt been all that much work on it, although you see something or other being done from time to time.

Congrats to Our Brave Soldiers!! I only hope the Credit will be given to those who deserve it, namely our heroic forces personnel, instead of being claimed by the overfed buffoons in the house by the river..

This thread DOES bring back some memories just off the top of the head machan A4's without english plates usually go around 1.7-2.2 depending on spec and condition mileage etc A6 Petrols are maybe a couple hundred thousand higher... mind you these are figures i quoted pretty roughly, D_z will be able to be more specific im guessing.

Out of curiosity what kind of price are they asking for the conversion kit?

This thread never did get updated... im sure plenty of people have been by this place now. Any feedback gents?

passed that way y'day, was wondering whether it will be poss for us all to park there... we'll just have to see innit? Thanks MADZ.. see you guys there then!

My first reaction upon reading your post was basically Unprintable, my second was the same. It is because of ignorant, uneducated fools like you that this country is on a one way ticket to hell in a handcart! Wickramatunga was in the MEDIA, therefore he is allowed to have an OPINION. it CAN BE A DIFFERENT ONE from that of the government, thats what makes for a FREE MEDIA... Kapisch? Just because he didnt pick up the damn pom poms and go ra ra ra for every single thing Our dearly beloved higher ups did does NOT give the likes of you the right to make judgement calls like that. Try to remember that on Autolanka at least, we dont buy all the bullshit that is fed to us.

just got the text saying he passed away... Deepest sympathies go out to his family, and one more voice that was taking on Rajapakse Brothers (Pvt) Ltd. has been consigned to history.... Well at least this should put paid to theories of "he arranged it himself for publicity" Sad sad situation... Opposition is supposed to be rallying for something or the other today, I do hope they take this up as well.... and maybe that the joint opposition actually stop there petty infighting and work to get the country out of what is quickly spiralling into a dangerous situation... being led by what is basically a goon squad.

You make a good point there xXx... I didnt really consider the Arrogance question, and now that I do, It's pretty obvious that THAT answer is definitely yes.... The REAL question i suppose is will there ever be an end to the madness? It's looking increasingly as though the answer will be "Not in this lifetime"

Apparently this feller was in a local car parts shop when a woman walked in and asked for a seven ten cap. Two blokes behind the counter and our hero looked at each other and one said, "What's a seven ten cap?" She said "You know, it's right on the engine. Mine got lost somehow and I need a new one." "What kind of a car is it on?" someone asked. She said a Ford. "How big is it?" She makes a circle with her hands about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. "What does it do?" She said she didn't know know, but it had always been there. Someone gave her a note pad and asked her to draw a picture of it. She drew a circle and in the centre wrote 710. The blokes behind the counter who are looking at it upside down as she writes, fall about laughing and one goes and gets her an oil cap.

A woman calls an import parts warehouse and asks for a 28-ounce water pump. "A what?" says the confused parts guy. "My husband says he needs a 28-ounce water pump." "A 28-ounce water pump? What kind of car does it fit?" "A Datsun." As the parts guy writes down "Datsun, 28 oz. water pump" the light in his head goes on. "Oh yes ma'am. We've got 28-ounce water pumps. We have 24-ounce and 26-ounce water pumps too." "Finally," she says. "You're the first place I've called that knew what I was talking about." "Yes ma'am. That's because we're a full service parts warehouse. It's our job to have the parts you need, like a 28-ounce water pump," he says, smiling, as he jots down customer pick-up, Datsun 280Z water pump, part number ...

one does have to wonder, if it is indeed higher authorities that are behind this, whether they would be so blatantly obvious.... the "are they really THAT dumb?" question comes to mind. Of course if one is talking of Dr Dutugemunu then the answer is indeed the affirmative, but the instructions must be coming from SOMEWHERE innit? Food for thought

No I avoided "Any place/either" for a reason Ash, so that we can reach a quick consensus and finalize by today as madz said... personally am ok with both, but went for excel world because there's def more space there etc

GUYS Can we please move the discussion over to the other "g2g 2009" Thread? and Please also vote on the location thread. Thanks

Ok guys, let's sort this by today. And if you Vote for "other" kindly specify where the place is Cheers

Fiat grande Punto perhaps? or maybe fiat Bravo?

boys excel world is sometimes closed on poya days, so someone is going to have to verify that.... but IMO i think it might well be the best choice overall.

the vehicle itself might be uncommon, but the engine in it is probably one that was available in other models in SL Edit: okay this is weird, the specs for the libero dont make any mention of a 1.3 l engine http://specs.amayama.com/mitsubishi/libero/ Rox, Post the engine number if possible

good idea this... voted saturday myself, so that dilesh can make it, but ok with whatever the majority decides.

If you search for MAG city on this site just a bit, you'll find that there is a general consensus that says the place isnt the greatest at getting things done, never been there myself but have had plenty of stories related that describe it as the sort of place one should avoid! With regard to your MAF, have you had the agents take a look at the car? did they also diagnose the problem as the MAF? it might well be worth your while to have them take a look at it as well if you havent already.. as for the cost of the unit, you should definitely take a look at some other parts suppliers as well, because it's quite likely you can get a replacement for much cheaper. The Don will be able to advise you better on this...

Now now... language.

would also like to point out that there was a call taken earlier that all pics posted should be of cars which at least one example can be seen in SL.... i think that was to make it a bit less challenging...

MADZ cant we make it saturday? dilesh wont be in the country otherwise... and maybe we should open a new thread up for this dont you think?

haha thanks mate! had to do some searching to find a good one, this works well doesnt it?
