All, some thieving bozos recently wrecked the ignition lock on my
floor-shift XF, and after I replaced the barrel it got into the habit
of unexpectedly locking on me after a hard right turn. Made the first
test-drive an interesting experience, I can assure you. :(

The new Personalised plates set-up in NSW is bullshit.
It used to cost around $180 one off to get black and white plates made. Now
it costs $50 to get them made and $100 per year. What a con!!!
Yet another way for the bastards to steal money from us.

parallel the C-pillar. These don’t just provide a visual lightness to
the rear three quarter of the car; they also provide more than 100 kg

Saw one today, it howls...

We purchased a Ford AU on the 26/7/06. It was fitted with LPG (Dual Fuel)
two days prior to picking up the car.
Would we be eligible for the LPG subsidy? I think the subsidy was introduced
