on a completely different note...
my brother is being such a wanker...all angry and grumpy...I hate such irritable people.


True, very true.

Hah... hey, I can sympathize with the grumpy brother. :rolleyes: I have a sister and... well... it's just plain punishment to be around her when she's like that. ;)
I'll be sitting around picking on my guitar and she'll bust in the room "Why on earth do you have the fan on? I told you it dries out my eyes! Where did you put my jeans? I havnen't seen them since you went to do the laundry. I don't know why you do the laundry if you don't plan on taking it out of the washer and drying it." Okay... end of rant. Sorry... :p

I have a feeling your sister has been instructing my brother on these matters...trouble is,he is older than me, and he is my landlord of sorts...he rents the house with two of our mates, and I pay rent...along with two other tennants...bloody sharehouses!

That sucks.
My disgruntled sibling is also older than I. This isn't a thread about siblings, however, so I suppose I'd best shut my mouth! :p

This isnt really a thread about anything...one of the most succesful threads on nothing in particular...and it's been hilarious!

Very funny indeed! I like forums... you have to get the right one, but once you do it's like having a huge bunch of friends.
Car forums are good too. ;) Some of them are just crap about NOS, but lots of them are really cool. Specifically I like the Corvette and RX-8 forums.
Speaking of which... someone needs to start a thread about cars!
Ah, but besides the one about the person who needs a van. :)

I would start a forum about cars, except,...um...I know nothing about cars...the model and the colour is about the extent of my knowledge on any car...so lets give it a try...

um... I want a car...we'll make it a purple one, and a Ford Focus...add that to the fact that I dont have a drivers license...um......hey, I told you it was a sensless thread filled with bollocks

Bollocks. Now that must be an English word...

... and ford focuses are severely ridiculed among the muscle car community. If you have any sense of manlyness you will not propose to buy a purple ford focus. Even if you are meaning it to be 'bollocks' :D
Is that the proper usage of bollocks?

the actual meaning of bollocks is testicles...I am not english tho, I am South African. I just currently live in England.
Yea, you seem to be using the word bollocks correctly...make that a black ford focus, I dont care if they arent masculine, I kinda like them...ok get me a black Vw Golf 5 gti...that'd be cool...

Hah I had no idea that bollocks... oh man. Me, I am stuck in Texas USA. Very boring indeed. Pickup truck and cowboy hats. *sigh*

Black is better but it's still a wimpy 4 cylinder, you know.
VW Golf is okay... but it's still not right.

Anybody got any ideas? I have. How about a Corvette? You could get a used C5 (which is what I plan to get) or better yet, a used C5 ZO6!!!
Oooh, yes, now that is more like it.

I will not be using the word bollocks anymore thanks to Andrew's enlightening me on the meaning of the word.
I thought it was just another word for 'nonsence' the way he was using it.
English people use "bosh" a lot in place of 'nonsence'
Am I spelling nonsence correctly? It just doensn't look right.

oh this has been a bad day for spelling, has it not?

No bollocks is a term for nonsense...thats how you spell it...it has multiple meanings...actually meaning testicles, but widely used to mean nonsense...I encourage you to use this word atleast three times a day...I'll give you another way to use it..."the dogs bollocks" which means "great" eg."that car is the dos bollocks"...you see? I even through in the motor allusion just to keep your attention.

How nice of you :p I might just do that.

I'm sure you'd make a great English teacher. Your pupils would be most articulate! :D

EDIT: that's it. An 'se' on the end instead of 'ce'. I knew something looked wrong!

Do they? That's the first time i've ever heard of the word "bosh".


yeah i was thinkin that. Renisenb did you mean to say tosh? then ya would be right but only really used by posh people who live on a big country estate.
an example...
"I can run faster than that car!"
"Tosh!!!" translated means "nonsense"

another way to use bollocks is if you have messed somethin up. like you forgot something or dropped ya bag full of work into a large puddle. you would then say "Bollocks"

arent muscle cars for big long straights? i heard they don't turn to great (at high speed) but havin never driven one i have no idea to be honest. i have to say they look great but would they be that good on country roads?

I used to drive a Chevy Nova back when I first got my liscence. Now I've got a gravy boat Buick Regal that I hate.

Yeah, some of you mention this thread's doing good, the spin off thread's not doing too bad either.

The old ones are quite bad about steering. And they will kill any car at a burnout. Ever heard of the RX-8? 50/50 weight distribution gives it cornering like nothing on the road. Rotary engine sucks at acceleration but redlines at 9,000 RPM. Now that's impressive. The sound is also simply heavenly when you're at that RPM. Never driven one but I've watched in-car vids of track days and also drift racing.

And as for Tosh and Bosh. I haven't heard tosh, but an author I read a lot of books by, who is English and wrote them somewhere around in the 1920's, uses 'bosh' a lot. I guess one can use either.

The 65 and up Stangs are hot.
As for the ones of today, well, just about anything can smoke them unless it's modded a lot or is a bottle baby (a.k.a. nitrous tank in the trunk). I see tons of Zeds (that's slang for Nissan 350z's) on the road here in Tx.

the mk4 (99-05) Golf uses an anemic 2.0 or a lackluster 1.9l Turbodiesel, while the GTI comes in an insanely-tunable 1.8l turbo inline 4 or a 2.8l "inline-vee" 45 degree angle six cylinder engine, AKA the VR6, which gets awesome low end and midrange torque. on the older 12v VR6's the engine gets better low end torque at the cost of high-end, and the newer 24v with variable valve timing gets less low end but more high end; it's more consistent across the board.

a C5 is car enough for practically anyone; i love the fact they still use an OHV 350 and live rear axle in a modern sports car... torque is socket-popping, and handling is great, plus it looks good... tough to beat. the Z06 uses the 405hp LS6, which is basically the same 350 with different heads and other internals that gives it an overall power boost. i disliked the Z06 for a simple reason when i sold Chevy's: you can't get the removable top. phh. WTF's the point of a Corvette in Southern California if the top doesn't at least come off, if not down? structural rigidity on the standard 'Vette was better too, because of the metal pillar instead of the fiberglass roof.

handling on a Vette is as good as it gets for American muscle and it still gets eaten alive on tracks by a Lotus Elise with a 1.8l Toyota engine (which also beats out a Viper and a Ferrari of some sort... forget what model). personally i'll take something that's lightweight, simple, handles like it's on rails and has a screaming engine... like a Caterham/Lotus Super 7 with a modified Suzuki Hayabusa 1300cc motorcycle engine (0-60 in 3.1 seconds).

something like a Nissan Skyline GT-R, pref. an R32 or R34, would be sweet too, especially if it was modded beyond all reason. for manliness nothing will ever beat an El Camino with a blown 502.

back to reality... i drive a 2000 Jetta VR6 stick, i have a job, my hair is kind of short, my girlfriend is busty and an architecture major. hooray for me.


Wooooow. You know a lot! I really disliked the Lotus' looks in the beginning but it's actually really cool now that it's had a chance to grow on me.
It's inky dinky though. I probably couldn't even fit in it comfortably. Top Gear did a really neat review on it where they raced a helicopter. It was an Apache vs a Lotus. If you haven't seen it...it's still available for download here http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/downloads/
The Toyota Hilux video is hysterical. And the Astie vs. train is good too.
