EDIT: I also like the idea of a km's guessing game based on the condition of a car

Agreed. Its a sheep mentality where one braveheart says something and the other downies follow!
Agreed Hulk doesnt always make the greatest threads, but I enjoy reading them and he touches base on alot of things that ppl here are too cool to talk about!
IMO I am almost certain I see forms of baiting. Without mentioning names and posts. Even if Hulk doesnt make a thread but just a post within someone elses thread, they pack of wolves jump on him like flies on ****..

Truly, how sad and second rate must their lives be???

Armstrong Holden in Brisbane got busted a few years back winding back odometers. They were "respawning" their low kay demos to new cars.

I used to love jdm GTR's and always took the odo reading with a grain of salt, but found looking at things like the heel mark in the carpet, clutch pedal rubber, steering wheel and gearshift would be a good guide (if the rest of the car checked out as being low km that is)

It's hard with JDM imports...I mean, living on that tiny land mass, it would be hard to rack up truly big kilometers even over a period of years, and given thier restrictive rego laws which mean most ordinary drivers can only keep cars for three years or so, means that a ten or fifteen year old car from Japan has been owned by someone with cash behind them and will have been looked after.
