Canadian Female Chopper (I mean similar bleep, bleep, etc wise)??? :shock:

no shes just feral!!

[Browny_R31]

so after last night having a run in with the police at the GTRC meet (the cops were really good actually all was sweet), i got woken this morning by loud banging on my door of the apartment. woke everyone up. Female housemate goes to the door to find a rather big looking guy and big woman standing there, bullet proof vests, pepper spray on the belt and gun. They ask for phil (my other housemate) and hes half asleep going waaahhh. They come in and pretty much block both exits of the house with themselves. Then ask for all our passports as they are from immigration.

Now these guys r seriously loaded to the max, bullet proof vests on and I go to get my passport and he blocks my path saying "where you going". Im like "passport is on the shelf right next to you. Hes blocking my path cause yeah its 7.30 in the morning im there in my boxer shorts standing face to face to a guy a foot taller and built like a brick shithouse..... yeah like imgonna try run u fool. Can hardly stand im that asleep. They see our passports and then everything goes really chill.

Turns out another Australia by the name of phil williams (same name as my housemate who is from australia) has skipped his visa and causing alot of crimes. So mistaken identity. Once this is figured out he gets on his 2-way and says "stand down". Im like wtf.... look out my back window and two more officers are walking away with these massive guns attached to them. The guy goes sorry for waking you have a good day. Im like wtf just happened!!!!!

And thats how i was woken at 7.30am ON MY BIRTHDAY....... freaken immigration!

It might have something to do with the shootings in a US immigration office (NYC) -

Canadian Immigration might have been on a heightened sense of alert, so looking for potential foreign threats.

[Browny_R31]

potential threat..... im australian..... we can hurt anybody..... **** when the japanese flew over us we didnt even have guns to stop them bombing us and we cant throw beer cans that high.

Maybe when they see a boxing Kangaroo, they think the human counterpart is the same. Come here boof, boof.

I'm getting tired of all the tire kickers coming to look at my truck. The market blows for sellers. It's the best price on craigslist (same truck, same year, $400 more, had 225k kms on it vs. my truck with 85k).

I'm officially throwing out a finders fee (possibly up to $500 depending on sale price) for anyone who sells my truck. PM me for details. Mint 01 Ranger, 4cyl 5-spd, 85k kms, $6k.

Bump (for the truck).

Oh, this is an interesting videoclip.

[Browny_R31]

[Skym]

Wow...

My next door neighbours cat gets swooped upon by 2 Magpies when he's not looking. A trick that worked for the cat was to hide alongside a car, then the Magpies left him alone. At least for few minutes, then were back at it.

Anyone else hear about the Mantide by Stile Bertone?

Styling is bound to split opinions, very controversial. I think it looks quite unique, would be very cool to see it in motion. Looks like a big red space ship from Mars. Definitely a departure (design wise) from most modern supercars.

It does slightly resemble the Citroen GT and it reminds me of the Spada Codatronca.

As for performance, it's definitely no dud. As you might've guessed, it is based on a C6 Corvette, but not just any C6, the ZR1. I'd gladly take something like this over your garden variety 599 GTB or LP640.

[Browny_R31]

def the styling will rustle a few feathers. I dont mind it. Looks nice to me. Def got sum power as well.

[DarkCaporaL]

Bump. Can't let this one die!
