We have really taken this one off topic, sorry Bauer.

No problem. If you 2 need to play out latent homosexual angst, this is probably the thread for it.

the good thing is, it now looks like the car of a man who is open minded at swingers nights

So, a couple of things to share

1 - I am blogging my car. Only started with the things I have done lately but I will add some back stories over time.

found here:

http://www.stuartthorp.com/blog

I have also done my first ever youtube vids too. I made up a cold air intake for the car so I figured some before and after vids would be good too. I even did commentary for those who have never heard my voice before

the parts. yes that is a dunny part. made it into my firewall grommet. I took pity on the lady at the plumbing section at Bunnings who asked if she could help with whatever I was working on.

all fitted and complete.

Nicely done.

Nice one - the Mania intake was my first mod to the car. Not much of a difference performance wise, but it does make a good noise

Looking good!

I've thought about getting a wheel, but the standard one has an airbag in it.

And legally you can't replace a wheel that has an airbag in it.

You can with an engineers certificate iirc.

The law was actually not something that concerned me in this case

WD Stu..good stuff.

That could very well be Kylie Mole's older brother. Goodo!

You could have told her the truth... you have been commisioned by Ross Brawn to develop a secret intake system for MGP.

Stu's definitely gotta be in the running for the next Top Gear host, unfortunately that means a one season Gig. Then he can retire and take up a job of sitting next to me bedside and reading me Thomas the Tank Engine classic as I slowly fall asleep in bliss.

sounds awesome, the car not the voice. Nah it was good, like Hz said better than the TG guys.

Dex do they make Hannah Montana steering wheels now?

Post by **Hz-Lab** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 9:02 pm

he said airbags, not hornbags

Cheers for the comments. If any of that was complimentary, I thank you for that too

If you think I sound Aussie, you should hear norbs speak Danish
