He should have bought her an E 250 CDI and put S65 badges on it.

I’m kinda getting a thing for these “meh” cars. Lately I’ve been hankering for a tidy V20 series camry in refrigerator white with AC and a manual. I think it would be the perfect set of wheels for my 30 minute at 50 km/h crawl to the office.

Had a very similar one when I was 17 or 18. Me and a friend racing each other in our crappy hatchbacks. I was maxed out on about 150km/h and he very slowly comes past me at about 170 and continues around the next bend. As I come around the bend I see him on the side of the road with a police car behind him. I slow…

It started as the “Brute Ute Racing Series” in Australia, then it was renames to just V8 Ute Racing Series which I think still exists in New Zealand. From memory the category with now use diesel dual cab utes and be called the Super Ute Series or something. It’s great to watch.

Years ago I used to work on the Australian “Brute Ute” Series. We would load up the bed of the utes in our Sydney workshop with tool boxes and spare tires but to avoid the suspension bottoming out on the Holdens we had to put pieces of wood between the coils of the rear spring and then put gaffa tape around the…

Exactly, A buddy had an RS6 Avant with the TT V10 and they guys at ABT were showing him what could be coaxed with an ECU tune, down pipes and intercooler upgrade. Sweet Jeebus. He started getting scared about gearboxes and diffs dying so moved the car on.

“Huehuehuehue I cannot believe he did it!”

It’s not like manufacturers have ever lied about cars specs or anything... Maybe Audi are just better liars?

I laughed at that way harder than I should of

You make a perfect point. When I was born (child #3 for my folks) my Dad added a mini van to our garage which up until that point only had a Triumph 2500 and a bunch of bicycles. When we all got bigger and needed all the sports gear and school bags and family fishing trip stuff we traded both cars for a Honda Accord…

What about 50m he was overtaking.

This a thousand times!! I’ve had to dodge life preservers, kids toys, beer cans, empty fuel cans and god knows how much other crap because of unsecured stuff flying out of boats on the freeway. Also once hit a pigeon that shattered my front wheel cowl, cracked the side fairing and covered me in feathers and pigeon…

It was Brabusified though with some pretty “interesting” results:

if it could be hacked to lock into it’s passing test mode, I’d e fine driving one of these to and from work. I can’t go faster than 60 km/h the whole way anyway so being slower than stock wouldn’t concern me.

Great, now I need new pants. Thanks Justin...

It’s a very typical Australian move. Along the lines of “look at this posh wanker get stuck doing something he shouldn’t be doing. Alright, we’d better get him out of there before it shits it’s oil/petrol/coolant all over the beach”.

You deserve more stars. Cheers for putting it so eloquently.

There have been numerous occasions where “fuck off dickhead” was an acceptable response to and from various senior directors in my firm. Then on Friday we have a beer and a laugh.

Most of us are OK with it. The Falcodores built here have been overpriced, under-built crap boxes for a long time now.
