We are also drunk bogans who ride kangaroos to work.

Way to generalize, bro

Warning to gtauto.. careful posting links to other 86 forums I heard some members were banned for that.

Not Xenophobic or Racist personally, nor a generalist, Anyone is welcome - my feedback was specific to the post and it's tone - and also highlighting that the Aussie market is unique - ie. We pay more for Software than virtually anywhere on earth - as it would be to anyone.

As an FYI - I wasn't born in Australia, and have lived in a number of countries (5 not including Australia), and generally have found Australians to be less xenophobic and on the whole less overtly racist than most nationalities.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who perpetuate the myth that Australians are redneck, beer-swilling, simpletons - the fact that Australians are loud among the people who do that is disappointing.

Saying there are a lot is not generalising. I have personally met a lot in my 29 years here. My dad to my eternal embarrassment is one of them.

Panman I wasn't having a go at you but I have seen a few times people telling him to leave the au forum for no reason than his nationality while his posts have been on topic and constructive.

Just going on my experience of living in other countries for my comments so not generalising, personalising - no offence taken BTW

The best thing we can do with our parent's attitudes is learn from them and (hopefully) not repeat their mistakes.

Bahraini - My comments were due to me feeling that you were having a hit at HKS and GTAuto in "their" thread - given you have clarified that wasn't the case, I apologise.

Now let's get back to pestering HKS for a reasonably priced SC kit right now!

Well time is not permitting all this to happen just yet. It will be there with new rims, HKS Spec-L and Premium Suction at least. GT Auto will have their own HKS Supercharged MX5 there which will be similar to the 86 setup. Well worth looking at and asking GT Auto for performance figures....
Cheers

I'm interested in how the truck across te road is going to get out of there without ripping some of the wall out.

I'd also check your car's kidneys - from the colour of it's eyes I'd say it has renal failure.
