Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Trust me, the Viper ain't all that. $70K worth of plastic and a big motor, with a slight tendency to catch fire and melt.

Hey, what's up with you slack Aussies? My auction's had 171+ views, 16 watchers, and only 3 bids.

Worst thing they ever did fixing up that elbow. Should have went the other way and made it like Shaoib's so you could scratcjh his arse with the same elbow on his ear.

How many people do you personally know that have one? How many have you ridden in? They're crap. Better no car than a Mopar, as the saying goes.

There are no vipers in the Bathurst 1000. Only Commodores and Falcons.

So go away and get a respectable net-name.
Over here....you need to say fulli sik ulleh, and drive off with you subwoofers and neons in a Skyline GTR 34

All but one by the sounds of it. And to think he was Tasmanian for 10 years. Oh yeah, that's right, he moved to Melbourne and whatever intelligence he has disappeared in the five years he's been there.

Now I know that is an open invitation for Mr Saxa to step in here...

I'd like to point out that I never had to go through the indignity of having a red or green P on my car. I find it embarassing for adults. Just my humble opinion.

Hey guys, just shows the effect of moving this thread over here to Foo. Some dude posted a question on Road Cycling about stocking up on cheap CO2 cartridges here in Oz. Two replies... both from seppos, until climbo stepped in to point out Target and Kmart don't sell guns here.

Sadly, Road Cycling has lost the collective wisdom of the Aussies. <shrug>

Typical of an immature little boy. Couldn't post a reasonable response, so you make it personal. Why don't you go back to the sandpit and bully one of the other kids there?
