Nev, I think that headset is missing a spacer. There should be a cone shaped spacer to cover the bearing race. Someone's cut the steerer tube too short.

I assume everyone's heard the rumour that Hincapie told Armstrong about the Columbia attack and Armstrong didn't tell Contador?

Why were you driving a Toyota Prius?

I scored one when I rented a car in Canberra last year - biggest piece of junk I have ever driven in my life ....... and the fuel economy if you actually do any highway driving is absolutely shocking. This thing is the biggest con going and a complete and utter crock of sh!t.

Can't move, roll me into bed. I just got home from a Brazilian churrascario. Much red meat. Nice!

Work car. The tossles made me lease one so we meet some stupid government green fleet vehicle target or some bull****. Friggin lease is nearly twice as dear as a Focus or Astra.

Next car I get for work will be a V8 Statesman I reckon.

Exactly what I found when was inflicted with a Prius a couple of months ago. Fuel economy was great when pottering around tourist trap car parks but as soon as the underpowered little petrol motor had to work hard... lousy.

And drifting off topic for a bit... nah... check yer PMs.

One of the disadvantages of AWD is that circle work takes a lot of effort.

I'll just have to content myself with dragging off pimply faced 18-year-olds in clapped out Dunnydores at the lights.

BTW your not watching policy missed you a nice bit of full frontal nude spectator action last night. Actually nice isn't the right word really. Sherwen almost choked on a syllable when he clocked the tackle but recovered well.

You beat the sh1t out of them too huh? Poor wogs. They kopt it hard in the country growing up. Our school built them a wog oval especially for wog ball.
Needless to say we were furious. Especially when we only had two decent footballs in the sports shed. And the point post was missing from the top oval as well.

After about 3 weeks we stole their brand new wog goal nets and burnt them on the deb party bonfire.
