Check the list to make sure it's not a hipo one.

What is the exact model you're looking at? I'm not a Volvo expert by any means and the closest I've been to them is when I'm wandering around car dealerships and looking inside (my sister was going to buy a C30 at one point).

It doesn't mean we condone such behaviour. In all honesty the last thing we as a society want is yet another halfwit on the road who can't drive for crap because they did a dodgy on the logbook. Without going into too much of a rant, it increases risks for everyone involved and is a...

Refer to: HowStuffWorks "How Cooking the Books Works" In all seriousness though, think back to regular journeys you have done (such as to school/back, to the shops, etc), look at the details, and then estimate how frequently you did these (e.g. each week) and fill in the book. Like I said...

I'm not sure what exactly you're hoping to get from BoS mate because noone has a foolproof way of "cooking the books" which is what it sounds like you're trying to do. IMO just make reasonable estimates of where/when you were likely to have driven. There's always that fine line of "have I gone...

not meaning to be a douche but to get your hours up, you usually need to drive. ... only tip i can think of is getting the multiplier on the instructor hours :S

Some auto boxes such as those in newer cars are more finely tuned and have much better programming to both shift at more appropriate points based on factors other than engine load as well as the ability to 'learn' the driver's style. It's difficult to describe but everyone has driven a shocking...

Yep but don't be a fool and buy one right away because exemptions aren't guaranteed.

How do you tip in retail? IMO the point of tipping was to recognise service above and beyond what was expected of their job. However this does raise issues when you consider expensive restaurants where you are paying a lot for your meal (and the ambience) and hence would expect a greater...

Simple. Coffeeshop- tip any silver change from the rounded to nearest 50c amount IF sugar is put into my t/a coffee when requested (maybe more if they remember my name/order). I do NOT appreciate it when they say they're too busy or they point to the sugar pile. I'm paying $3-4 for something...

OMG YES I can't stand people who brake unnecessarily... those who live in the Hills (Sydney) might know Thompsons Corner coming from Pennant Hills Rd to turn left onto Old castle hill rd. Aforementioned Civic driver BRAKED (on a green light) to bring his speed from 50 down to 30 and still...

I wonder how old these tests are now... can't imagine they get updated that regularly. haha sorry for slow reply! walked around shops, ate beef pho (and we both realised we really like this!), drove to rouse hill and walked around that area (really nice and peaceful at night), then met up with...

... and any other configurations are also included in the catch-all "8 cylinders or more" :(

I've never driven a turbo volvo but unless you're one of those guys who definitely wants a manual, I highly recommend you try driving it first. I've found that a lot of quality automatic transmissions (i.e. well tuned and designed) are actually quite good at complementing the characteristics of...

My mistake- I meant to say the ban is on high performance 6 cylinder engines but instead I had V6 in my mind from the topic title.

Newer Volvos are very different to the old and have a much more sporty theme (both inside and out). Some even have better performance credentials. That being said, a 2000 model may have been just at the turning point so it'd depend on the model. Anyway, back to your original questions, build...

Not on single lane roads. I got stuck behind an oldie driving a Civic weaving between two lanes (thus making it dangerous for me to overtake) and when I finally did overtake, he gave me a *stare* at the traffic lights!

High performance V6's (e.g. 350z/370z, Porsches, etc) are prohibited in NSW. Check the restricted vehicle list on your relevant state authority's website.

How is it? You really like your Hyundais :)

1st cuppa (incl coffee): 1 sugar Every drink after: 0 sugars I feel bad if I take too many lol. But gotta have milk with my EBT/IBT's.
