must have a MEAN sounding fart noise

This is the funniest advert Ive ever seen!!! Priceless!

my favorite sections from that ad

its a semi-auto, so it has a tiprtonic lever, but i made it so that there is buttons on the steering wheel that you press to change gears which adds heaps of value

although if you come to my house i have a 8km road with no speed limit, so you can have a better test drive here.

it have more power-to-weight than all holdens and up there with ferrari's, so it flys. 0-100 in 6-6.5 seconds.


what a knob.
and his 0-100 time is twice as slow as a fazza.
so dumb

saw a white vt commodore today ...
it had a green number plate with white writing to match his green and white "P" plate.

I'd say he plans on being on them for a while?

SO I saw a bright green Mazda today. I think it was a 323 astina. (I'm not up to date with the different models of mazdas) Anyway it had a spoiler, and the only way I can describe it is, It looked like a Veranda roof.
The spoiler came off the roof of the car. It extended across the whole length of the boot and it had 2 supporting posts on the boot. Basically it was a roof that covered the entire boot of the car.
Finally it said Mazdaspeed on the top of the veranda roof/spoiler thing.

by 'upgraded line diameter' does that mean it has a larger than standard exhaust?

I know a 15 kilometre country road in NSW with no speed limit.... well it never used to have a speed limit, now it only has 100 signs in one direction. SO I guess it only has a speed limit on the West bound run. East bound it is what you fancy.

Nah - Lindsay Fox isn't 'that' much of a ******...

And have you seen the size of Lindsay Fox??
He wouldn't fit in that little Mitzu...

Out in the country Victoria there are dozens of these such roads. All good until you hit a flock of birds and get the windscreen covered in bird $%#t, flatten poor easter bunny coming out to play, or nearly hit a dingo or roo. So I guess nature sets it own speed limits

Not sure if you're being serious or not but you might want to check the road rules in case you are and plod catches up to you.

All states have a state speed limit... so if a sign is not posted then that means you go by the lowest speed for that road.... Common sense comes into play here a bit too.

In SA its 50 kmh suburban roads unless posted otherwise and 110 kmh country roads...

Thinking cos a sign is not posted you can do any speed you like is going to end badly for your wallet.....
