Thanks Butuz, yeah it's a double edged sword. Sheer brutality vs expensive repairs. I did email the manager of one of the dealerships last year and called them "thieving c#nts". My father-in-law lost the PIN number for his radio in his Merc. Mercedes said they "couldn't find it" but come in...

Always fun to see on the news...."The car worth an estimated <SHIT LOAD OF MONEY> reportedly crashed at the first corner, and the thieves have been caught"

I would, but I like wood. Also need desk space for non-gaming, which sucks...but there's wood..nice wood.

Not entirely sure, they're all in carry cases I just had to move his stuff about to move some furniture. Be nice if he had one of Hendrix's guitar's or one of Prince's....or three......eight etc.

Goodness a Corsair haha would have been ok if it was a Vauxhall Lotus Carlton, I read about the one the Police could not catch. We had similar when the WRX came to Australia, getaway car of choice. But yeah I hear what you are saying, common sense over sentimentality....but I will take it for a...

As strange as it sounds I got my first WRX for the safety...that's what I pitched at my wife. As I wanted a "daily" when I bought it, I went with the 2.0lt the previous owner was having it serviced every 4000km....looking at the service book, it's like three years ahead haha, so mechanically...

Want to drive a WRX....three pedals is the ONLY acceptable way to do so. It's also an antitheft device, wannabe fast and furious car thieves look in and see a stick....and keep walking. The Merc's a 7-spd auto, but you can use sport-mode and use paddle shifters on the wheel. I haven't tried that...

Love the RS4. I hope your family member is getting the best treatment possible, my bro-in-law was making good money but decided to "YOLO" and not have medical insurance. Thankfully Australia has a good system, the only cost to us in hospital was the parking. He was an odd duck, he lives next...

Ahh my wife's dream car, told her they remind me of a Mazda MX5 on steroids, nice car but I have to play the hand i'm dealt with...so it's the AMG or the WRX....I did feel a little more justified listening to Rammstein in the AMG haha.

Was a strange irony, for ten years his parents, my wife and I thought he had four friends in the whole world. Turns out he had hundreds of close friends who didn't even know each other! I had longer conversations with random people on a bus until seven weeks ago, we'd sit and talk for hours. My...

Apparently the engine assembled in Affalterbach (Outside Stuttgart), and fitted to the chassis in Bremen (Northern Germany). A nice touch having the dude who assembled the engine get to throw an identifying plate on there. I saw another pic with this guy's name on a car eight years older, and...

With personalized plates "Aurora"

Thankyou Thalstan 🙂 Yeah expensive....when the dude from the workshop dropped it off, he handed me the keys and the invoice in an envelope then started walking to the front gate for his ride back. He got halfway there when I opened and read the invoice..."JESUS FUCKING CHRIST".....his pace...

Would be nice, but we were left with an absolute mountain of debt...so one has to go. His parents thought it was about $40k debt, they just about choked when we told them, get to a quarter million and keep going...

Yeah, certainly a tough call. We have backroads on some hills here which are always fun for both AWD's and V8's, and i've driven both types through there, AWD is fun but the V8's sound great in the hills. I'm gravitating heavily for the C63, my WRX isn't an STI (still a sweet ride), but the C63...

As mentioned elsewhere, my brother-in-law unfortunately died from an aggressive cancer, and his sister and myself pretty much inherited his debt. We're working through his superannuation and various insurances, but as it seems all of his worldly possessions will be sold including a half a dozen...

I am measuring time, by the amount of threads on Spectrum asking for wing changes to the Corsair.

I once dressed as a civilian and followed people around Area-18 at walking pace. I spotted a guy trying to make a package delivery but it was bugged. So he put it down and looked at his mobi-glas. I waited maybe a minute, and figured he was now Googling the problem. I stole his box and threw it...

Here's before and after. Before: Shitty laminated chipboard and equally shitty desk drawers. In front of it I used a folding picnic table for the keyboard and mouse. Tables were two different heights and they sucked, the picnic table is made of plastic. Good for a picnic table but tragic for a...

We're not finished yet... Eight weeks ago, "Diggo the dog" above, fell ill, and was pretty much a vegetable for three days, I was giving him water with a syringe and bathing him when he soiled himself, then we made the decision to put him to sleep. Technically he was my brother-in-laws dog, so...
