Haha

NO ITS NOT A DIESEL ENGINE!

Its a 2 litre petrol. TFSI, not TDi .

You dont know shit. You assumed a wide torque curve must be from a diesel, becuase you have no idea re modern petrol engines. Yet you started a thread on modern petrol engines.

Well done]
That's good of you Shadow, you read that this morning? Obviously you didn't notice that yesterday! I'm afraid the nelson haha's might be on you? :lol

haha Shadow, are you serious? Think you should probably have a bex and a lie down count, your wig is obviously on a little too tight today!

I didnt read your post yesterday as I was offline post 5pm. Not sure why that is significant.

Nelson haha's....you want to open that can of worms

a) who was wrong re engine type in article?
b) who admitted doesnt understand anything about cars?
c) who started a post directly relating to a subject they know f.ck all about?
d) who used the term "generated at moving speeds" to descirbe torque delivery?
e) who tried to talk themselves up about "lobbying friends in government re power restrictions"?
f) who believes I am someone else?

Well done count. Maybe in future stick to things you know about, like international economics. Oh hang on, you got dominated there by b_b as well.

Time to swap the wig for a foil hat mate...

Damn, nothing gets past you Wulfie. What gave me away?

Doubtful, we've been sprung - there's no point trying to deny it.
1. Epic Fail! Steve Keen's Bad Calls and Predictions.
2. Residential property loans regulated by NCCP Act. Banks can't margin call unless borrower defaults.
3. Housing is second highest taxed sector of Australian Economy. Renters subsidised by highly taxed homeowners.
4. Ongoing improvement in housing affordability. Australian household formation faster than population growth since 1960s.

It's the cornball Korean dictator puppet character from Team America.That's Shadow all over! He's a sad individual who's most of his life watching movies, first VHS, then Laser-disk and finally DVD. His entire comprehension of reality is based on watching TV.

Hmm, that it. Expected better count.



You might have a point though re our avatars reflecting our comprehension of reality

Not fooled keeps changing his - does that mean he has had several different comprehensions of reality lately?

Dave 289 is a matador. I guess thats why he is so bearish, is viewing the world through spanish eyes

Timmy is a bogan. Guess thats why he still beleives in the aussie dream


And of course we have your avatar dear Count;

Your "comprehension of reality" is obviously based on 15th century french aristocracy - how very relevant. Im not surprised you struggled in the previous post re internal combustion engines. Or in the discussion re contemporary economics. Or property.

Time to get back to your chateux and powder your wig!!

I doubt he would need to go to all of his chateaux to powder his wig. One chateau should be enough.
The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off.

Still doesn't change the fact that the only thing a modern engine is good for is to go fast.

Quote:
 

So you got the older engine that works best at 1600 to 4500 revs, and the current that works best at 3250 to 6000 revs.

Out of these two which one has is the fastest and which delivers the more useful powerband?


And with high speed car chases becoming more common, the only answer is to de tune engines back to what they once were.

We can't ban idiots, but we can certainly ban the cars they drive! :D

Police pursuits: there has to be a better and safer way

January 27, 2012

Peter Norden

While the Victorian community was still in shock at the two fatalities resulting from a high-speed police pursuit in Gippsland last weekend, another chase in central Melbourne yesterday has left a young man dead.

Since 1977, when I founded The Brosnan Centre for released high-risk offenders, I have had close contact with young men who were involved in such irresponsible pursuits. These young men often act irrationally, and even more so when affected by drugs or alcohol. They have limited capacity for awareness of the impact of their actions on others, be they passengers or innocent bystanders.

Members of Victoria Police cannot directly be held to blame for the deaths or serious injuries that occur from such pursuits, but the current policy is now presenting an unacceptable public risk. We need a policy that minimises the risk to life caused by those who flee from police.

A report in The Age this week explained that the police justify their present policy while continuing to complete an internal review. This is similar to the Victoria Police response to concerns about the high rate of deaths from police shootings in the 1990s. Eventually, as the death toll mounted, the police minister acknowledged the need for a change, which led to a retraining of the force, known as Project Beacon.

Few people would argue that police should never be involved in a pursuit. But what is required now is a wider, more independent review that involves outside experts such as John Lambert, a road safety expert.

He suggests that Victoria should follow the policy in Tasmania and Queensland, which seriously limits the number of pursuits and upholds the value of human life as paramount.

Tasmania virtually eliminated deaths and injuries from police pursuits when it banned pursuits related to traffic offences and stolen cars in 1999.

Yes - but their is a balance. I have a 1.4 renault scenic which is dangerously under powered. I've pulled out on empty highways and had trucks up my arse while I'm still in third. It should never have been allowed to be sold. It's a nice engine and in a clio it would fly. But it's too little power for too much weight.

Whenever you have an argument with someone, there comes a moment where you must ask yourself, whatever your political persuasion, 'am I the Nazi?'

Did the truck drive over you and your car? How did you manage to survive?

Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.

Forum Rules: The main forum may be used to discuss property, politics, economics and finance, precious metals, crypto currency, debt management, generational divides, climate change, sustainability, alternative energy, environmental topics, human rights or social justice issues, and other topics on a case by case basis.
