..and it was awesome fun!

Went out with dad today to the shops and stuff and I made him let me go up into the hills for a cruize, it was hell good fun. My dad was loving it and we got to a T-intersection thing and he told me to go dow that road, it was the corkscrew road or something, it was so bendy - so much fun!

Also i realised how crap my brakes actually are after going down this safe straight went a bit fast then had to brake before the corner at the end and only just got slow enough, i know how crap my brakes are now, you wont see me tail-gating any one..ever or being close at all especially when doing like over 80. So yer it was fun and i thought 'd tell u guys.

Also today i bought a air-horn for my car. its a must! :P :lol:

Yep Aussie, I am serious....


No Dr Knit, they were on my immaculate 1979 corolla... back in the day. It got defected for 1: Air horns, 2: Oil ON the motor (even though it did not leak any oil, I was told to have it degreased) They could not get it for anything else because it was as stock as a rock.

As if... Air horn kits are walking out the door at your local NSW Big W or Supercheap store by the truck load :shock: :?


Supercharged 850: NSW or Adelaide defect? What year was this? Have the laws changed?
