Just slight change of subject here, but if anyone has a good sub in their car, play Massive Attack's album Mezzanine.

My playlist:

Massive Attack - Mezzanine
The Knife - Silent Shout
Muse - The 2nd Law

Might even start a new thread for this at some stage.

You've just made a new friend I went and saw Muse when they were in Brisbane. Truly amazing. Got the 2nd law the day it came out. I'm fairly certain i've worn out the disc!

There have been a couple past members from Toowoomba, but theyve since moved on. Im sure a couple of us would be willing to take the trip up the range

What part of Toowoomba are you located?

There are a lot of car people in Toowoomba, kinda surprised nobody else here is from T'bar actually! Guessing Ipswichians are probably the closest members?

If there were to be a small meet in T'bar, I'd recommend the Japanese Gardens. The back entrance if you can find it. Great little place, they even had it up and running 2 days after the floods.

Well, probably going to head to bed soonish, haven't been sleeping well lately. Take some pictures of the car tomorrow.

Just wanted to say that this community is great! Such a warm welcome from so many in just hours! Thanks, I'll be sticking around for a while me thinks.

The Japanese Gardens are pretty good, same goes for Picnic Point (just the speed humps are a PITA)

Took my car to the train yards in Toowoomba to look for a place for some new pictures. Found an old train with some nice graffiti. Just putting the pictures on my computer now.

Just put up the contrast very slightly and the greens and reds. Faded out the edges.

I'm an amateur designer, I do stuff like this frequently :P. My latest design piece: http://i54.tinypic.com/2yttbgj.jpg (click to enlarge)

This is a picture of the main damage to my bumper. Really doesn't show up well in photos. Pretty sure there's no actual panel damage, it's just scratches.

But they're bad enough irl to get the bumper resprayed. Only damage the car has. Also anyone got any info on where I could get an anti-sag bracket or how much one would cost? or you know.. how to fit it? xD

Fitted a new VW Tiguan aerial to my car today, it's stocky, fits the curvy bit perfectly and has a spirally bit, so all in all, it's not torn up like my old one and that's a good thing!
