I like the daytonas but only really when they have a under seat racing exhaust, otherwise I reckon they look ugly.

i thought it was demonstrated in tests that if a car is over engineered so that you cant hear the engine noise people wont be attracted to it - even if it drives well etc - so it would make sense to have sounds from an electric car

yeah i know what u mean, dont like big cars personally..

big into fuel efficiency and not much beats a golf diesle,

cept for a hybrid..

but there a bit well..

u know

@MILCO@ · Post by **@MILCO@** » Fri Mar 28, 2008 6:08 pm

mmm yeah a golf r32 would be mad, they sound awsome and go pretty good as well, a guy i worked with got one from his dad as a b-day pressie, about 3 years ago,

i also love euro touring wagons

my next purchase will be a volvo V70R ( AWD 2.5L turbo produces 300 horsepower and 295 ft. lbs. of torque between 1,950 and 5,250 rpm )

with a minor tune of the cars computer you can get 350bhp with a flat torque curve from 2000rpm to 5200rpm.

sex on wheels. When I hear them coming up the street I'll stop in mid conversation with a gentle hand *stop*...and listen as it goes past *drool* I do the same with Harley's. Love a rumbling engine.

I'm taking my Subaru Liberty B4 to the STi workshop in port melb for a new exhaust, air filter and ECU...

I miss my old car....

After seeing it die a slow death due to rust, I decided I was not going to buy another car until I get a car port/garage. Not sure if that is ever going to happen, though.

Sweet choice of car Lizkins!

I had fun in a car today! I did the Murcott's safe driving course at Sandown for work. It was awesome, and very challenging. My heart was going so fast before I had to do the emergency stops!

@MILCO@ · Post by **@MILCO@** » Tue Apr 01, 2008 10:56 pm

yeah i have heard that course is awsome fun, i must book my self in one day for it, only problem is which car to take.........

Post by **breaksRbest** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:08 am

I've done 2 of the Murcott Driving Courses and would recommend them to everyone

I reckon they should be compulsory for everyone getting their license

Post by **Friday** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 11:28 am

love taking the new wrx into sti for the service. they really look after you there! free tea and coffee and biscuits. courtesy shuttle into the city and back.

steve do they sent you text messages to your mobile too, to remind you to add fuel additive on your next petrol refill etc? i find that so lol when they do that.
