I always thought they drove ut's (ewts).

It's a 'ute' or you'd call it a utility. And no, we don't all drive them, only people who need them for work tend to. As for my favourite car, dunno, I don't pay much attention to cars except for if I see something nice while I'm riding to/from school or just about.

I don't think I'll be going for my license too soon, not with our new **** house P plater laws.

Australian cars are the some of the worst cars in the world. I have a 97 falcon and I have spent more on repairs then I paid for the car!

You are the fool who bought an EF. For that, I say you are a fool.

:rolleyes: I knew there would have to be some smart-arse

Some people would think you are the fool for starting this thread, that you think there are good 'Australian' cars

I am guessing you are referring to yourself ;)

All car makers have a few bad eggs, I have a '76 fairmont and it is stilling running fine, never had ANY problems with it.

Germans and Italians build the best cars, so no need to compare and contrast Aussie cars.

Maybe in the past. In recent years, Benz, VW, and Audi have been some of the crappiest cars made. Much, much worse than any American or Korean car, based on reliability ratings.

Personally I think his statement is just fanboish and stupid in a thread about Australian cars. I have not seen one tough European car... ever.

Australia's car lovers like big, fast, tough cars that look good.

- Falcon - Big, Fast, Looks

- Commodore - Big, Fast, Looks

Forever... they have always been like that.

I have an old VL Holden Commodore.

I think they were Built around 1986. :unsure:

Only major repair I have had done is a new Gearbox with a few minor engine repairs here and there.

So I would have to say that Holden would be the Best built cars.

My Father is on his 5th (Yes 5th) Ford in 6 years.

My old man's a mechanic, he used to work for RACQ, and has told me, Commodores are one of the worst cars on the road.

He now works on Falcons all day, everyday, and hasn't got a bad thing to say about them.

In cars though, its really how you look after them.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

      With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.

      Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • CANT FIND SECURE BOOT ON BIOS

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
