I'm sure if money was the object I could find a better investment that will give me a bigger return than a car, and with much less maintenance ($$) involved....

Yep, put 16 grand into bluechips or a GT for 10 years. See which one gives the bigger return. My moneys on the bluechips.

Surely a slow, heavy barge like a BAGT wouldn't have enough grunt to lay rubber like that Pottery?

Prepare for the mystical "Wowser Troll" comments after that.
He/she is common around these here parts; waxing idiotic in their own flatulent moral-erectness imparting all their knowledge like a tornado in a trailer park.

O.k maybe not store it because that's not good for a modern car anyways they need to be driven at least once every 3 months......Point is if you can get a very clean original one for 20k and keep it that way and keep the kilometres down to minimum I cannot see them dropping much further......And the DOHC donk is awesome!

Cars were meant to be driven for heaven sakes.

Well ye that's what 'trickle' chargers are for you can get them for $100....Only charge about 1Volt just enough to keep battery fully charged while it sits in the garage/shed. Also disconnect battery when not in use.

Ha ha, classic. I suppose it would be inappropriate to ask if you have scanned the article so we could read it

pottery beige · 26-12-2013, 12:14 PM

bit munted today for breaking out the scanner

will do when feel better

makes for good reading

was same police man both times

gtfpv · 26-12-2013, 01:13 PM

pottery beige · 26-12-2013, 05:58 PM

0 to no license in around six weeks..

GT fever baby

blackf6 · 26-12-2013, 06:14 PM

Dobbing truckies.

Franco Cozzo · 26-12-2013, 06:52 PM

What did the cop say when he saw it was you again?

I imagine he would look like this when you lowered your window:

====[[8]]====[[8]]===============[[ ]]=== PB on the run lol.

Whitey-AMG · 26-12-2013, 07:01 PM

XR speedo ... WTF
They should know that an XR can't go that fast. You just can't trust anything you read in the papers. EVER !

**EASYBOSS** · 26-12-2013, 07:06 PM

They can do 230, I know, done it on the Hume, had proof on my GPS at the time, think that was what it was limited to.

galaxy xr8 · 26-12-2013, 07:10 PM

I don't understand why you can not drive at such speed's in areas as such just like how it is in some other areas of Australia like the NT.

The key word in that article to me was the word "remote", they go on and try and say what would happen if a sheep or roo jumped out, what they don't have sheep or roos etc up in remote areas of NT.

I don't condone this speed on road's in semi rural areas etc but as the Journo and police said, it was such a remote area of SA.
A little blast in a GT in a remote stretch of road would give any one that wonderful butterfly feeling.

290GTP · 26-12-2013, 07:20 PM

Yep, if you did in NT when there was no speed limits no one would have batted an eyelid. I sat on a steady 200-210 for nearly 2 hours in a rented Bomadore once & I didnt die or anything.

Go figure.

we ended up cool as , smoking durries and yacking

Sarge rocks up, we're all yacking its all cool. He's like stuff locking me up, drive him into Pt Wakey and bail him.... I'LL DRIVE HIM......

jumps in, i jump in passenger, hits key, Stevie Ray Vaughn still thumping, up there for start button, lights on and we pulled out

he ******* loved it
