Did some researching today & found a site that sells custom headlights & taillights for my car. So once i earn the money (which won't be for a long time yet sadly :() I'm gonna get these for my car.

Twin (XR style) Headlights

Andreas¹ · March 29, 2008

Ack! Today was a crap day. Gale force winds, Rampant blackouts,Absolutely nothing to do during said blackouts. Anyway I was really bored today while the power was out so i knicked my mums camera & took some shots of my car in out backyard.

So what do you think of my photography skills?

Also to get a scale of how windy it was today this happened to my neighbor.

pretty cool car, would never dream of getting a saloon here as a first car though, the insurance is plain stupid, thats why im getting a bike!

my mate has a austin-rover metro that cost him £200, the insurance came up to £1500...

a METRO!

ShadowGT · April 2, 2008

Lol done anything to it?

Easterner · April 2, 2008

Congrats Man! A little late but hey...

Seems to be in good condition... CarFax it though, see if it has been in any accidents or floods ect. At least its not a gas guzzler... :D save some money, put a 12" lift, MickeyThompson Super Swampewrs 48"s, D60 Super Axels, 6.6l Duramax, Detroit Lockers front and rear, RocTrac Transfer Case 4:1, and maybe Cold air intake and you'd be set!!!!!

Can't say I've ever seen a righthand drive car, although television helps "The Crocidile Hunter" show shows some,

Bless Steve

ShadowGT · April 2, 2008

Actually no the car came with it :) & It's a good tint not a cheap ass tint thats all bubbled.

ScaR · April 3, 2008

Lol done anything to it?

Not yet. Still saving up money for new rims.

ShadowGT · May 14, 2008

Yay i go for my driving test in just under a week :). Had my hazard perception test today & passed.

Speedtouch · May 20, 2008

Lucky you! Here in the UK, even if we could afford to buy something that kind of size, insurance is the killer. I checked and found out that to insure a 1.2 '02 Clio (the kind of car i'm aiming at for my first car) would cost about £1700 a year. But if I get it when I'm 18 then I can hopefully get the insurance down to about £700. Shows how much insurance companies hate new drivers here.

Good luck in your exam, and hope you choose the new rims well, because those stock ones are horrible!

ShadowGT · May 27, 2008

Ok guys i need your help with a dilemma i'm having here. In the next week or two i plan on getting a new CD player for my car (all it has is radio/cassette at the moment) but i don't know what to get. I was originally gonna get a Car Audio package from strathfield for $448 (top one)

But my dad has a mate that can get me a JVC KD-AVX33 in dash DVD player for $400 (it retails for $1000)

http://reviews.cnet.com/JVC_KD_AVX33/4660-6729_7-6785290.html

Theres only a $48 price difference what should i get?

hesonly5 · May 27, 2008

Why would you want to watch a DVD on that piddly little screen?

May 27, 2008

package seems more appealing to get.

ShadowGT · May 27, 2008

The review i post a link to says that the resolution is really sharp which makes movies watchable & not squint-fests.

Mcmerc01 · June 9, 2008

Thanks :) yeah it's a inline six putting out about 139kw's

For anyone thats curious here's a history of the ford falcon in Australia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Falcon_%28Australia%29

Haha Melbournian, most of them don't know what that car is lol. we should race some time :)

Don't get anything too expensive, make sure its a good quality set too. Even better if it has usb connection too

ShadowGT · June 13, 2008

Hehe i've been short on cash lately so i had to just get a regular CD player but atleast it has stuff like ipod connection & bluetooth hands free built in.

Anyway i won't be doing much driving at the moment as my fuel pump died last night at my girlfriends house and it's gonna be almost a week before it can get fixed :(.
