A klaxon horn started sounding in a German control room when you did that. They’re sending a search party to look for the guy with the hands that no soap will clean.

They are Macedonians. Alexander the Great was fair haired like the Europeans, not dark haired like the Arabs.

I went to school with quite a few Macedonians, and they were more olive than a Kalamata.
Balkan peoples are a veritable mix of Southern European, Anatolian and Arabic.

Because most yobbo's modding their AU Falcon wouldn't be able to afford it and would just drill out the airbox or remove it entirely for a tacky piece of pipe with a cheap cone filter on it.

Why is it that every time I order from AliExpress that the order confirmation starts with the same 3 numbers and ends in the same 4 numbers.

Its like they are scam numbers, but I always get what I order?

I get every item within 14 days, I don't even get that good of delivery time from Sydney, plus I cant find what I'm looking for for the price I want to pay on the others , just scored a replacement touch screen for a 2017 CX5 navigation radio for $25.

Just very weird that the 9 numbers in the middle change but the 3 and 4 numbers either end stay the same, I was thinking that the first numbers may be the region its being sent to and the last might be my id number on Ali.

She did rip a few nice single peggers though, not what you expect from grandpa's Fairmont.

Sorry about that.


I can comfortably say that the T3 is the best Falcon I have ever driven. Sure, it didn't go as hard as my XR8, but the neutrality of each core element of the car was so lovely. In that I mean a nice balance of power, brakes, steering precision, ride quality and overall body control, no one element out pacing the other. The tiny little Windsor meant the front end felt alive and responsive.

Compare that to the XR8, that thing is all engine, the decent body control at the expense of ride quality, the brakes on the edge of ability, and the steering heft reveals the weight teetering over the front axle.

I love the XR8 for all that, but I also know that the T3 was the chassis highlight in the Falcon linage.

One more to completely ruin your evening................

Say you’re going through security, and they decide an item in your carry-on luggage is a weapon. Wouldn’t it be better than forfeiting it or missing a flight, if you could duck across to the post orifice and mail it?
