Far out! (my ideal car)

If it comes to OZ I doubt Trish would let me spend 200K on one!

You've got it wrong.

You tell Trish you've made a flawed investment of $200k in chip pan oil, and now need something to get rid of it. Problem sorted.

...and Trish likes fried chips!

Well find a way to install a deep fryer in the car, and maybe she will say yes. Lol

Imagine traveling behind it.

Making me hungry just thinking about it....Hmm, wonder if they can add some chicken salt?

I hope Top Gear get hold of that, could be interesting.

I wonder if Macca's will start putting servo stations in their drive thru lol!

I don't want to be a spoil sport but I am dubious about the economy claims. The fuel tank must be huge to give the car a 2000 mile range.

And what is this stuff called torque multiplication technology - is it a fancy description of "gearbox".

Bah humbug..................

I've had a chat to Trish and she says I have to wait for the "cooking" model...

I've told her I don't care what she says I've going to check one out on Fry day...

I can't wait for the comparison test against the George Foreman grill .. They don't use much oil and ours is real quick! (we did a bumper feast in only about 10 minutes the other day..)

Dazz, tell Trish it's an experiment for model trains.
She'll buy it.

Speaking of which, there's an ad currently on TV from one of those publishing houses for setting up an 00 guage model train set.

rustynutz · **Reply #19: May 01, 2014, 13:58:46**

I've seen it too....

Trish probably published it! She spends a lot of her spare time researching model train stuff (and gets at least 1 x UK model train book and 1 x Aussie model train book a month)

Edit: she has seen the advert.

She's going to check it out (but probably a rip off - they usually are)

rustynutz · **Reply #23: May 02, 2014, 04:01:20**

I agree....

But sometimes the first issue of these mags are worth getting as they are usually sold at much reduced price.

I must admit I bought the first issue of the Star Trek mag recently as it was only $3.99 and came with a model of the U.S.S. Enterprise.

I also bought some aircraft mag's first issue as it had a very nice diecast model of a Spitfire....and a Tank mag as it came with a great Tiger Tank model....

AlanHo · **Reply #24: May 02, 2014, 04:23:44**

I bought a Playboy Mag with a great looking model illustrated on the cover.

But it was a con................

We got 2 issues as the first copy was only $7.99 and the carriage that came with it was of reasonable quality and would retail for over $20

The magazine is crap (wouldn't wipe my.. oh never mind...)

That would be a strange thing to do, is it particular to Devonport, or right across the isle

Dazzler · **Reply #27: May 03, 2014, 23:56:25**

I believe some would do it if they run out of Toilet paper (but being tight asses <literally> we buy in bulk, so that ain't going to happen here!)

The Gonz · **Reply #28: May 03, 2014, 23:59:30**

Perhaps the connotation was simply that you Taswegians 'wouldn't wipe your arses'.
