Whilst on the topic of SA women, I shared a house with a South Australian chick once. I went to the pantry one day, grabbed the open pack of Barbeque Shapes, and found they were soggy. Turned out she had sucked the seasoning off the biscuits, and returned them to the box!! The reason?? To save weight.......she was on a diet

I have heard of Soggy Sao's, but have never participated . I have no idea what the Melbourne Marching Boys are, or what they got up to (I'm from the bush.....170km from "town"). I shall not be using Google to find out, I'd prefer to remain in the dark I think..... 
And......I never went to boarding school!

On my fortnightly (sometimes weekly) drive to Sydney yesterday, I stopped at Maccas Sutton Forest for my standard pee and espresso (I will say that offering good coffee has made Maccas a more attractive visit over Truckstop 31 at Marulan 
). As I departed down the slip road back onto the Hume, I noted one of the new Chrysler 300C's in the r/v mirror. Didn't think much of it, gunned the 8 to beep in 1st, 2nd and 3rd...and then was somewhat astounded to feel almost pushed aside as the 300C bellowed up beside me, and overtook. Guess he was motivated by the noise from my hymees 
. By the way that thing moved, it must have been one of 6.1L jobbos -- it had wheels as big as a Bdouble 
Ah well, pity there were no corners...
I still like the sound of a big, angry V8

Check out p42 et seq of the May Wheels.
0-100km/h = 5.6 secs, 1/4 = 13.8 secs (and they test two up remember).
Timbo's lucky he didn't get run over.

Oh, I want one too. 
Who cares if they give the XR6T 133kgs in weight (1888kgs of prime yank beef there ).
(Mind you, the $25K difference in list price gives you an idea what a bargain the XR6T is).

You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadilac El Dorado Convertable
Hot pink!
With whale skin hub caps
An all leather cow interior
And big brown baby seal eyes for headlights
YEAH!
And I'm gonna drive around in that baby
At 115 miles per hour
Getting one mile per gallon
Sucking down Quarter Pounder cheeseburgers from McDonalds in the old-fashioned non-biodegradable Styrofoam containers
And when I'm done sucking down those grease-ball burgers
I'm gonna wipe my mouth with the American flag
And then I'm gonna toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side
And there ain't a Goddamn thing anybody can do about it

Because we've got the bomb!
Well, you wouldn't exactly call some past Aussie muscle cars Greenie nirvana would you?
My brothers serially owned the same XA GT (genuine) with a worked 351 Cleveland years ago. I think that car was solely responsible for the local hole in the ozone layer.
I've still got memories of some white knuckle rides in that thing (I was about 16). Damn it went hard.

You want a white knuckle ride? Try 2am in the morning, as passenger in a mate's 67 VW (worn cross plys, of course) down the hill to Spit Bridge...the VW has maxed out its speedo (at 70mph) and nothing feels really connected to the road. I stared death in the face, I swear 
Still, he did make it up the other side without having to change back to 2nd
