What do you drive?

I bought a new car last week. It's a 2000 AUII Falcon S, manual. Basically the S-pack added better suspension (XR suspension, IRS was optional. I don't think mine has IRS) which made it sit lower and have better handling, body coloured grille, spoiler and S decal. The engine is the same as the Fortes and Futuras.

It's got a Tickford Momo steering wheel, a larger exhaust and after market alloys. I'm getting it converted to LPG at the end of this week. Petrol is too expensive for me.

When I can afford it I'll probably get an exhaust manifold put on to complement the exhaust. I also need to save up and get a new stereo and speakers. The CD player has crapped itself so I can only listen to the radio :(

Fiat panda 750. It's now in it's 23rd year, i recently had replace the vacuum cap for the ignition and i guess the rearbrake shoes need replacing. Still does 130/140 km on a flat road (can't be sure the needle trembles between the 2 numbers). For the rest only oil and tires in the 10 years i've got it. Cost me 500 euro.

my old car, and one of my favorite cars that I have owned, and the reason behind my screen name (sc302 = supercharged, 302 cubic inch engine, if you couldn't figure that out) (sold 2 years ago)

Black 95 Ford Mustang GT

Full power (doors, drivers seat, windows) yes this was all the power options in 95

Major Modifications:

Vortech Supercharger (10 psi)

GT40 heads

B303 cam

Holley Systemax Intake

30# injectors (starved the engine, needed 42's or 50's)

255lph Holley Forced Induction Fuel Pump

50 GPH Trex helper pump

3.73 final gear (now 4.10's)

spec stage 3 clutch

Man do I miss that car.

420 rwhp on a dynojet, guessing around 450-475bhp.

12.1 sec 1/4 mile time as of last year by the new owner

It was dirty when I took these, but you get the idea

My usual position at the car. 75 caddy eldorado, 500 ci, 472 ci heads, torquercam, dual edelbrock carbs, edelbrock inletmanifold, halfopen pipes. Tore straight up a mountain without noticing it.

Emptied the tank after 80 miles at full speed, which i really don't know because the gauge stopped at 110.

Drowned sadly in an underground carpark after a flood. 3 weeks later i managed to get it going after they drained the parking. Drove it out of the parking where it caught fire and died.

Why is it that Ford doesn't ever sell these things in the US. There are many very cool Fords made around the world that the States never get.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
