The new Gen 4 is actually a 6.0 litre engine. The salesman assured me that it was the largest engine available on the market and if I wanted, there are people that can supercharge it to get even more power.

Do you think that I should buy the GTS or the Prius? I’m just not sure what to do. What do you think would have the most credibility in public, or what you youngsters refer to as street cred?

Kind regards,
Full Noise
LMFAO

Danny, I haven't laughed like that in ages. Thank you.

I'm not sure what is sadder.... The fact that they think they are the saving grace of the earth, or that there is a Prius forum...

Either way, *subscribed*. :P

I think that this is the funniest thing that’s ever been on AFF. I’ve been laughing so hard I can hardly move my bloody jaw. Although it’s funny, I’m actually terrified that there are people like this out there.

I wonder what they think of my avatar?

I've had a good look through this thread but couldn't find anything , Sorry in advance if this is a repost ..

Did anyone MISS rogercordia's "eBay Sale" . I eventually found the link again on the "boost cruising site" (I should have posted it a couple of days ago when I first found it) ANYONE interested in "purchasing" two Photo's of the "Secret Engine bay" , I'm so sorry but you've missed out , what a shame !

Bidding started at $899 for "2" photo's ONLY .

I cut & pasted the 101 Q & A's and I'm still trying to decipher the first page (of 6) .

Anyone wishing to help me , or just would like to see "The Sale" , here's the link . :

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....3133&rd=1&rd=1

If you do not wish to , I do not blame you .

I think it's lowered my IQ to lower than a certain Mr Kelly ,,,,,,that some members have spoken about .

Roger Cordia, a very sad individual…

It’s a big call talking about his Cordia and NASA in the same sentence, unless the thing’s going blow up.

Funny thing is, based on an average of 30,000kms per year at $1.16 per litre, it would take over 15 years for the purchase cost and petrol costs of a Focus to meet that of a "Pious" . The Focus is same size with similar specs, but cheaper to service, easier to maintain, world class handling, flat 16 sec pass vs mid 18, and looks a lot better. So much for saving money with a hybrid.

I'd like to see a injected LPG Focus trialed by Ford Aus.
