[Kristian]

[steveP]

seems like a rip seeing they wont be able to fly.

its like buying a r34 gtr for half price just to look at.

 

[Rasi]

I will just take an engine... for free

 

[Tom]

Call up FedEx, sup I have a space ship engine I need to transport, can you give me a quote?

 

[OVR444]

I say its a bargain!

 

[Tom]

Can't complain with free? And also can't complain with 50% off!

 

[bradc]

How do I install one of those engines into my civic?

 

[Kristian]

Wanna outdo this guy in his Beetle, Brad?

 

[frozen]

is that for real?? the beetle i mean..

 

[bradc]

Kristian, yeah that'd look great

who cares, it is still a beetle

 

[ygoslo]

That Beetle looks disturbingly phallic.

(let me guess, Bruce - offensive and off topic?)

 

[bogan bob]

^^^LOL on both accounts

So could you buy a space shuttle for the bargain price they are and grab a couple of engines at shipping price = functioning space ship?

Ill start the kitty with a pineapple, c'mon guys dig deep, lets put ozvr4 on the map!!!

 

[Kristian]

I'm going for the whole space shuttle, I wanna take mates out for a lap of the planet on a Saturday night...

 

[OVR444]

Look at it this way.. you will have a way out when the world comes to a end... then it will be worth every $$$ spent

On another note; think of the pickup lines... "so ... your house or my space ship "

* Brad flys by in his new purchase *

Mate: "Hey look! Brad's got one of them Space Shuttles!"

* CCCCCRRRRRAAASSSSHHHHHH ! *

Another Mate: "One of those American Space Shuttles "

Your implying that they can turn... American built machines are only straight line hero's....

 

[Nitephyre]

I think I'll buy the Enterprise and rename myself James Tiberius Kirk and live in it. Giggity!

 

[GavDaniels]

Hey Guys,

I'll divert next years forum donation to the kitty for the purchase of the OzVR4 Space Shuttle.

First Dibs on taking down the straight at Calder.

Regards

Gavin

 

[bradc]

Lol, that'd raise eyebrows, turning up to a drag meet in a space shuttle.

You'd have to start setting up the day before though for your ONE run, but what a hell of a run

 

[BuzzPuppy]

Getting on the starting line, no problem.

Stopping, on the other hand...
