Those side exhausts are bound to be illegal too, but i don't care...it rocks!

I'm yet to see another aufalcon.com sticker whilst out cruising. There just doesn't seem to be any forum guys out my way, which is the reason I don't post in this thread.

I do however see Evan from time to time, that is of course as he pulls up outside my joint!

there could be a few forum guys out your way, the only aufalcon.com sticker i've ever seen was on AU2PWR's car although i've spotted a couple other members who may have had stickers but i didn't see them. could be forum members just might not be "unique" enough to notice, i've been spotted although i have no sticker. somebody needs to start a poll to find out who has a sticker:p

Good to bump into ya Stav, top bloke, and thanks for showing me a thing or two, you got me thinking.
Oh and I would also like to say thanks for making my car feel slow :
I got back into it and gave it a quick stab down the road while no one was coming and it just felt laggy compared to the wagon
I rekon there is alot more in it.

heheh no worries mate. Your car is awesome.15.2 out of a stocker is nothing to sneeze at.A good tune will reduce that by .5 of a second to 14.7. In any case.all the best for the new year mate.. My car wasnt that quick today...too hot and as you know the new box is slipping!!!

Yeah it was near the street off to Oatley ... around the dippers.
I had a bad day ... I managed to dislodge and crack the rear pod on the ute ... not happy. Bloody dark loading docks are a pain to reverse into at time.

I just realised you by the numberplate ... and I just stuck my arm out the window ... traffic was flowing on your side fairly quickly.

yeah i saw your arm, and then the ute.

i dunno, i never drive up that way. so if it was quick or not? lol

i think i got done buy a 24hr speed camera though. i think it was on port hacking road. maybe it was king georges road. i have absolutely no idea. where it was, i didnt see the signage or the camera. too busy concentrating on traffic etc having never driven there before. and yeah, i only saw it on the way home hahah crap.

They say it regardless for both ways ... but sometimes it is only one way.
They like theo confuse you as well ... they put the speed camera signs on the side streets .. and I look for the buggers ... and find that the camera is on the main road that I crossed. There's one like that around the Randwick area from memory ... not too far from the hospital.

Saw one of those full-chrome Falcon AU grilles on an AU the other day, the ones on eBay. I thought it made the AU look very Toyota Avalon-ish.
