Harvs11 Posted 13July, 2014 Report Share Posted 13July, 2014 This conversation had nothing to do with midlife crisis. It all started with a breakdown of car costs for my son. He's weighing up buying a car or travel after year 12. Travel it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there may be some penalty if you don't go straight to further study. But I'm operating on half-read newspaper articles so I could be completely wrong.

We've still got a couple of years to work it out. Likely do one or two years of uni. then defer. Over 21 by then so he can take full advantage of what's on offer.

ByronBayChris Posted 17July, 2014 Report Share Posted 17July, 2014 Byron Bay is looking at buying old Melbourne trams and using our old railway line for locals and tourists. (stay with me) When I mentioned the plan to Mrs BBC, I got the ever funny "oh god, the old trams will always be breaking down and will need repairs constantly........like your stupid car". Me walks off with tail between legs...no point discussing depreciation of her bus etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 29July, 2014 Report Share Posted 29July, 2014 'Why did you buy a penis with wheels?' - long time female friend. 'Should have bought one of these, quicker and less money' - knob in new GTS (his car was dearer). Early 20s dude - 'I like your car, do you like it?' Me - 'yep, wouldn't have bought it otherwise' Early 20s dude -'oh, you know, you could have bought it for posing in, I wasn't sure' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastr Posted 30July, 2014 Report Share Posted 30July, 2014 WOW! is that boosted? - yeah factory turbo You can get them in turbo? Big badge at the back. has some letters in it. not sure how to read. To be fair the term 'Turbo' has been stuck on a lot of things that have no turbines therein. I even had a PC with a 'Turbo' button on it once. And then there are all the 'turbo' badges stuck on non turbo cars. I used to get that when I had my old 323 AWD turbo. 'Is that really a 4wd turbo?' Yes, Subaru didn't invent the concept, you know...

Mike737 Posted 17August, 2014 Report Share Posted 17August, 2014 Yesterday while I was bucket washing the car at a local car wash a woman came up and asked if she could park her Holden Astra next to mine. I was fine with it but not sure why until she started taking pictures with of her car which were obviously for car sales with my car in the background. Unfortunately she hadn't done a great job on cleaning her white car which should of had silver wheels but were still black from her previous lack of caring for the car, not to mention the big patches of dirt which still remained on her car that she had missed. Today I got asked by a neighbour about how big the turbo is on my NA model because he couldn't understand how it produced 320hp without a turbo.

ByronBayChris Posted 17November, 2014 Report Share Posted 17November, 2014 From my beloved (soon to be disowned) daughter. Watching a graduation ceremony at her Uni with no appreciation or understanding of cars. For the record, the "car" below was a Mustang. (at least had two door like a 911) Watching another car circus drive by and this man looks like you and his old ugly kind of Porsche car broke down and everyone had to push it !!!! Hahaha poor fella The car sounds awful Think it's dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
