Finished the lawn in 45 seconds.

45 seconds? That's weak sauce.

If he ruins it, I'll personally buy and ship him a new Mac, like this one. Which one matches pink peddles best?

I'd go with Dalmation or Flower Power("Strawberry" is probably closest to pink).

Tim Taylor would be disappointed-I think you need more power.

The pink pedal thing is going to make his head explode and that will ruin a perfectly good eMac. I really don't want this thread to cause the loss of a nice old Mac.

The eMac will be used til the day it dies of natural causes/old age. I am waiting to use it until i can get more RAM for it.

Forget about the eMac-he might ruin the dual 1.25 MDD, and that would be a crime(admittedly, I have over 60 PPC Macs, and I hate the infernal MDDs...)

The eMac is more useful to me than the MDD at this point. The MDD is rarely used anymore. Once I get a better GPU for it i'll use it more.

LOL Like a G3 is even usable anymore!

It's originally a UK car. UK number plate dates it as Aug 1971 - July 1972.

Why keep the UK Number plates on it?

LOL!

Well since the pedals and shifter ARE NOT PINK, the strawberry iMac would be the best fit!

Much like Daewoos and eMacs I'd think.

Hey, go easy on the eMac-they're still good as long as you use them within your limits.

I still love my iMac G3s and Clamshell iBooks for playing old games.

I use my old iMac G3 in my garage for iTunes.

Not my car. Don't ask me!

I use my old iMac G3 in my garage for iTunes.

The slot loaders have superb speakers.

If you really want to wake the up, hunt down the Harmon-Kardon iSub. It was designed to work with the iMacs, and OS 9(as well as OS X up to 10.4, which is the newest any iMac will run) is smart enough that it filters all the low frequency sounds out through the iMac speakers. The net effect is that it makes the volume louder and tremendously increases the quality of sound.

I use an iSub with my Quicksilver G4 along with the "eyeball" Pro Speakers. I had to manually add in the kexts to support it in Leopard, but it complements those speakers well also(plus the "jellyfish" enclosure looks right at home with the overall aesthetics of the Quicksilver, acrylic Cinema display, and "eyeball" speakers). On the highest setting(which I don't use) it will rattle the windows, but on lower settings it provides a much more subtle but very complementary effect.

It's 10 acres.





Not really ...

A car is a car. my eMac is far more usable than my PowerMac. But that is a different topic of itself and on a different forum.

Not my car. Don't ask me!

sorry my bad.

There is a iSub?

Now BACK on the topic of cars. The Daewoo is going in Monday to get the brakes fixed.

 

[AustinIllini]

A car is a car.

Wrong. A Mercedes is a Car. A Honda is a Car. A Daewoo is horse manure.

A Merc is a pile of garbage ask any mechanic or owner, a Land Rover is a pile of garbage as A.Goldburg, A saturn is garbage a Daewoo is a car just like a Honda or a Kia

How's it getting there?

Land Rover > Daewoo.

Ooh cars. My recent hobby becoming a real addict.

Got this S5 recently and now made it into a wolf in sheep clothing

It has to be the Magenta one

Roadside assistance is how.
You specifically stated that Land Rover is unreliable. A Daewoo IS reliable. One of the MOST reliable cars.

How does it drive? I've always wanted an Audi s or BMW M3, but so expensive , even used.

Put it this way, got my first A5 a year ago, a 2.0T which was quite quick at just under 300bhp and I loved it. Fantastic car, looks great, solid and reliable.

Then 2 months ago came so close to getting a brand new RS5 but so glad believe it or not that I went for the S5 V6T. 3 days after getting it I had it mapped to 422bhp and that really brought it too life. What a weapon. Smooth yet so much grunt. Then the other week I got it mapped to a stage 2 with a SC pulley upgrade which transformed it again. Such a pleasure to drive with its ultra slick DSG gearbox and double clutch system.

I could not recommend it highly enough. I chose this over the new M4, C63, RS5 etc. and I'm glad I did. Running costs are good for what it is, tax and insurance is great too and it's fast, I mean FAST. I have not timed it since doing the stage 2 but apparently they claim 3.7 0-60 and 175 top end. Not timed it since doing the stage 2 yet but it was 4.4 on a stage 1.

And they look exceptional

This just made my morning.

A Daewoo is on par with a Honda, but a LR and Benz are garbage?

Is this real life?

Gorgeous car! I've always wanted an S5 with the 3.0T. As much as I love the growl of the V8, the 6 cylinder is a better power plant.

I'd love to see some scientific data to prove your point.

Nice job!

The S5/6 are good blends of performance, style and luxury. Audi interiors are really fantastic.

 

[jamin00]

Thanks

They are and they have done a great job on the interior on this too. The seats are stunning, prob my fave bit about it
