Hmm yeah but then i dont have a semi sensible daily car (as the cobra is the work car/daily/trips etc car)

Waddya mean???  You're saying the '73 isn't sensible for a daily?!?

1. No computer crap.
2. No note payments.
3. Cheaper insurance.
4. Less tax.
5. Easier to work on. (see #1)
6. Cheaper parts. (see #1)

Sounds perfectly sensible to me!

Can you tell i'm not a big fan of computerized motors?!?

Nothing is made to last anymore mate! I hate buying new appliances as you know they'll not last as long as what they're replacing. Had to buy a new deep freeze about 3 years ago to replace one 33 years old. Don't expect the new one to last more than a few more years and thats if i'm lucky!!

Miles traveled / Gallons used = MPG (in US gallons)

ex. 300 / 15 = 20

To get a true feel of your MPG I would check this 3 times and average the 3.

ex. 345 / 17.2 = 20.06
     313 / 16.5 = 18.97
     320 / 15.7 = 20.38

    20.06 + 18.97 + 20.38 = 59.41

    59.41 / 3 = 19.8

Sweet looking ride there mate! How come I haven't seen it before??? You need to keep it and sell that '96 IMO!

Thanks fellas! It was ok as birthdays go. I got to spend the day putting a new floor in my daughters bedroom in her trailer. The water line going to the water heater busted a couple of weeks ago and the sorry arsed pressed sawdust plywood they use in the floor warped up all over the place. It now has a real plywood floor. Now i'm tired as hell but have nothing else planned for the weekend except to nurse the bottle of JD I bought this afternoon!

Damn, thats 2 of Austrailias' native sons in a few days. If I was superstitious i'd be waiting for the 3rd.

of my 21st Birthday.

what are the implications engineering and performance wise of going from 2 1/4" exhaust down to 2" for around 12" of the exhaust system...

I could give you all the technical jargon about what it will do but suffice it to say -20 bhp give or take a couple.

Ah ok its a physical lock makes sense now. If they can unlock it then some one else can with a little imagination

Yes, a physical lock/block. I see now you thought it was a computer block and thought I hacked their system!?! I wish! I know just about enough about computers to make me stupid!LOL

Not exactly sure what the tool looks like that's made to remove the block. The block itself is basically a screw on cable wire end with a seperate floating barrell inside. You can turn and turn and it wont unscrew. But if you wiggle it while trying to unscrew it it relieves the friction in the threads and will come off. It just takes a bit of patients.

tell me about it, just me online all day with no one else showing up

I'd of been here sooner but the fecking cable company blocked my line! I pay my bill online and always before it's due. Some moron technition put a block on my line and was supposed to be blocking a neighbors line apparently. Gave the cable company's phone operater an ear full and I imagine they're gonna be none too happy with me as I removed their block that you're not supposed to be able to remove! Told her i'm keeping their block till a technition comes round to collect it too! B*sturds!!

Thing is he knows crocs too well, it almost makes sense that it would be somehthing that, as far as I know, he's not so used too.

Definitly a valid point but you know how it is when someone knows something too well, they get sloppy and make mistakes.

WOW! That is shocking! I always figured he'd get done in by a crock!
Weird that it was a stingray as they are usually such doscile creatures.

Sorry I asked.

I didn't mean to start a pissin match between Mac & PC users. LOL

I think i'll stick with me PC.

Edge, I've still got about 40 pounds of virgin R-12. Bring it over mate, and I'll gas it for yers!

Quite honestly I have never seen a Mac. How are they soooooooooo different from a PC??????

Hey Philo, I did something yesterday I thought i'd never do again. I filled my Olds from almost dead empty (20 gal tank) for less than $50!!!!
18.54 gallons for $48!

Drop a dime on his ass! Given half a chance you can bet he'd do it to you!! Hows that commandment go....."Do unto others before they do unto you".

Come on now guys..... ain't nothing wrong with a fella getting in touch with his feminin side! I hear the chicks dig it.








Course the only way i'd do it is if I had huge tits!!!!!

It's down to $2.59 a gallon here. Down about .030 a gallon over the last week and a half to 2 weeks.

Again true. Although the new Challenger is nice the Charger is hideous.

And 4-Door.

AGREED!!
