Comments:
<0> scotland? :P
<1> well done
<2> Bingo!
<2> fredk-: I'm originally from .sco :P
<3> I got it, but I was wondering what the Santa Cruz Operation had to do with that sentence for a moment
<4> Liandrin: you mean OldSCO? :)
<5> teh evil machinations of Darl McBride?
<1> uisge beatha
<0> http://www.filecabi.net/video/1helicopter-with-gun.html hah
<6> :)
<0> one heli you dont wanna have in front of you
<4> nah; a gnu software-defined radio in the RC transmitter range, steal the signal (easy enough, the closest transmitter usually dominates on fm) and take over controll...
<0> DaveHowe, menthos + diet coke
<0> got some?
<4> fredk: doesn't it do that if you just drop a bit of sugar in too?
<0> never tried
<0> menthos looks fun though
<7> I'm so never buying another american car.
<0> siglite, what happened?
<7> last month, the clutch master cyl. went out on it.
<7> today, I lost 2nd gear.
<0> heh, which car?
<7> ford ranger
<0> well, it's a ford ;)
<7> my chevy was worse.
<5> Found On Road, Dead
<8> Fix Or Repair Daily
<8> ****ed On Race Day
<8> etc
<7> it's not that it's a "ford" it's that it's "american"
<5> heheheheh
<1> siglite: "lost" 2nd? I presume it's not an auto box?
<5> siggie: save up for an Audi
<0> hmm, we got an american car, never treated us badly
<0> yet
<0> heh
<7> anyone who says dodge or chevy's more reliable should just step away from the crack pipe. They're all ****.
<8> siglite, no, fords do that all over the world
<8> jappaf ftw
<8> jappas*
<7> whyzzyrd: it's a standard.
<9> siglite: trade it in for a nissan
<7> PolarWolf: likely going to go toyota. Toyota pickups just run forever.
<1> siglite: I've always been fairly treated by my japanese stuff.
<9> siglite: or that, yeah
<1> siglite: mitsubishi L200's are nice, as are shoguns.
<0> just no mitsubishi colts
<8> dont buy a mitsi
<8> unless you also own an oil field
<7> I might go BMW if I don't buy another pickup.
<8> because they burn oil like nothing else
<7> they have a good reliability reputation
<0> Hmm, I dont like bmw
<7> I think BMW's overpriced, but if it's reliable, I'm ok with it.
<0> i've seen plenty issues with weird electrical issues on bmw
<5> heh, Bimmers
<1> adikt: I have no problems with mine burning oil, nor my dads, nor the mother-in-laws. Between us we've had 8 mitsubishis.
<7> I guess I could get a volvo.
<7> they're pretty reliable aren't they?
<1> siglite: it's ford anyway.
<0> siglite, they're pretty decent
<8> whyzzyrd, you know factory specs say they're allowed to burn ~1L of _oil_ per 1000km
<1> adikt: I don't have to put any oil in any of them between service intervals.
<8> that is ****ing SHOCKING
<8> thats very unusual
<8> most mitsis drain oil like theres hole in the sump
<1> adikt: I never remember my dad ever having to top any of em up either.
<8> and dont even get me started on mitsi auto boxes >_<
<1> adikt: all ours are petrols. and manual.
<7> the wife is really pissed.
<7> me, I say **** it, I'll just drive it without 2nd gear.
<1> siglite: I bet she is.
<0> siglite, what did you or didnt you do?
<7> fredk-: not a thing.
<7> fredk-: she's pissed at the truck.
<0> Ah
<1> siglite: there's 2 more gears than strictly necessary in most boxes. most vehicles will manage with 1st 3rd and 5th.
<1> siglite: not perhaps as efficiently but.
<7> whyzzyrd: yeah, the ranger will do that. I can go from 1st to 3rd.
<7> I have to overrev 1st a little.
<1> siglite: Yup. loss of 1st would be a pita.
<1> siglite: probably not as far as the red-line though.
<7> no
<3> I had a '99 Eclipse, never had any significant trouble from it
<7> about 2500 short of it.
<7> that'll put me at about 1800 when I come off the clutch in 3rd.
<7> which is a *little* low, but the valves aren't rattling.
<1> siglite: I take my galant to around 500 from the red-line every morning, joining the dual carriageway to get to work.
<10> hello
<1> The road's busy, I tend to join at about 60-ish in 2nd.
<11> Liandrin: eclipse is nice.
<1> yoz: yeah, they were cute. They suffered from rattly valve gear, like my galant.
<1> yoz: same engine for the 2l
<7> the new eclipse runs pretty hard
<7> no longer a "chick car" so much.
<1> yeha
<11> yeah.
<12> good afternoon
<7> whyzzyrd: I've heard reliability horror stories out of those. And they must not handle too well. Every one of 'em I've seen has had body damage.
<5> salut J-F
<7> a vr4 with all it's parts intact just seems rare around here.
<7> I'm lusting after an M3 bimmer, but ****... so much money
<9> BMW has a bad reputation
<9> Mostly due to its owners
<7> well, BMW has a thing here...
<11> BMW are nice cars.
<0> how about lexus?
<13> siglite: lost 2nd? thats .... hrrm. pretty ****ish
<7> they have this deal where you can pay a couple of grand extra, and it's lifetime bumper to bumper
<8> *everything* has a bad reputation if you talk to the right people
<5> I DRIVE IMPALA
<9> Get an Audi S4
<7> like, they put tires on it, brakes, change the oil, everything
<11> lexus is nice.. too.. though lexus is the asiatic mercedes.
<7> you never have to pay a dime for any maintenance unless you crash it
<13> lexus == very nice toyota
<9> Lexus? Ain't that Hyundai for the rich folk?
<0> PolarWolf, it's a toyota :)
<11> *nod*
<14> **** you yoz
<14> bitrch
<14> cunt
<14> nigger
<9> Or that
<7> very nice || overpriced
<13> infiniti == very nice nissan
<13> acura == very nice honda
<0> thats what I thought
<0> are the infinitis worth having?
<13> fredk-: last I checked.
<0> I dont think they're for sale here
<0> I know you can get a lexus here
<13> I dont wanna turn the heat back on :(
<1> fredk-: my dad's on about getting a lexus.
<7> kosmo: I dont' either.
<7> kosmo: my heating bill is stupid insane high.
<13> siglite: it got cold and ****ty
<0> which one?
<1> fredk-: my mechanic says they're nice, but the parts cost a ****ing fortune.
<1> fredk-: starter motor.
<13> siglite: Im not doing so bad (volume wise) but cost per gallon is raping me.
<7> kosmo: it was like, $260 in january
<13> siglite: ow
<7> yeah
<7> we have a b0rken inefficient hvac
<13> where is all of your heat going?! you must be losing alot
