Lucky kangaroo that he got away before I could inflict some serious damage!:mad: I really do hate the things - they hop around in mobs of 50 or so, eat my grass, wreck my fences, try and drown my dog and attack my cars. Most hits have been them running into the side of the vehicle but they've...

Well, the inevitable has happened. I had a low speed impact with a small kangaroo this morning - no visible damage (phew!) but the hood deployed. I'm thinking of replacing the hinges with US spec hinges given that the active hood is a European requirement, not Australian. Anyone see any...

Has anyone yet had unequivocal success with their dashcam?

Post a picture of your screen. Might help us troubleshoot.

Apart from not going wild, I just drove normally. My commute is 80km of undulating and winding country road, with a bit of traffic (blink and you'll miss it) at the end. That pretty much satisfied the "vary your speed frequently" criteria, what with curves and hills and the like.

I've asked Pirelli and Michelin for advice and will report back.

Hi Y'all Although I've only had Ginger for a few weeks, from what I'm hearing about the longevity of the P Zeros I should start planning for her next set of tyres now. Whilst doing my research I came across comments like "not intended to be driven in near-freezing conditions, through snow or...

No worries. :) I forgot to add that for the last few years they have had a promotion leading up to Christmas. Any parcels dispatched during OCT, NOV and DEC get a 25% discount; on top of any bundling discount.

The ADRs are a bit complex to navigate on this issue, but generally you'll find that state legislation will often define things in simpler terms. In the case of NSW, regulation 97 of the Road Transport (Vehicle Registration) Regulation 2007 states: 97 Performance of tail lights (1)...

Their pics are all over red lights though. I'm hoping to see some over clear lights.

Legalities aside, just wondering if anyone here has applied a smoked tint to clear tail lights. If so, please indicate the tint percentage or the product you bought, and post pics. Cheers.

I got them from BigWorm at the same time as the stripes. You get to choose the colour of your dot.

For those who are still making their minds up, here's what I based my decisions on: GT vs Ecoboost: I do a lot of driving, 30 to 40,000km per year due to my 160km round trip commute, and this was to be my daily driver so my first thought was to go for the Ecoboost. Of course the pull of the...

Well, it's been a busy couple of days. The adventure started on Monday afternoon when I took the train up to Sydney, staying the night at my folks place, and the next morning Dad and I went down to the dealer - Brad Garlick in Ryde. Can I just say at this point that the dealer has been...
