    courtesy of wikipedia: The slang term pwn is a term used primarily in the Internet gaming culture, means to soundly defeat an opponent. It is generally used for taunting of a player's in-game enemies, and rubbing in victories. The etymology of the term pwn is believed to be rooted in a typographical error arising from the close proximity of the 'p' key to the 'o' key on a standard keyboard. Initially — that is, before the term's adoption into the 1337 lexicon — "pwn" was generally parsed as an honest error and pronounced "own." Eventually, as the word took on a life of its own and began to convey a meaning stronger and more specialized than that of "own", its pronunciation began to vary as detailed below. The term has become ubiquitous in Internet circles and is often used outside of gaming contexts. Its progressive form is "pwning." Its noun form is "pwnage" (or sometimes "pwned" or "pwnt"). An example: "Did you see that guy get pwned?" Appending "zors" creates a humorous variation of the word, e.g. pwnzors. To be "owned" in the gaming world is to be miserably defeated by an opponent or an opposing team. However, the term "pwned" is usually used when the loser is humiliated in a fair competition.

    For the same amount here, our members get T-shirt, stickers, cruises organised, Christmas BBQ ... and most of them can spell and are conscious of the existstance of rules of grammar!. I think this is the only forum in the world that charges people to post.

    Its only a tenner ... with the exchange rate being what it is that is about $389.26 in Australian money. It isn't a money thing tho. Seems you don't want outsiders here which is a bit of a shame considering you seem to have lots and lots of people posting things like "I am sAv|inG uP t0 buY a Sik Mkiv 2JZ gte SuPra cAn u GuyS telL me HoW mUCh PowA i Can GEt from A ManuAl CoS I aM A rACeR aND woULd neVa dRIve An AUto". When someoen turns up who actually owns a car and runs a club overseas you don't want them. Anyway I am taking my my toys and going home. Oh, one other thing ... we are going to win the ashes.

    Basically because I am not going to take advantage of anything like members packs, sticers, discount offers, attending cruises. While not taking advantage of these things I suppose I have something to offer. Plus I can give you reciprocal rights to our club.
  14. People I understand the idea of having membership payable for you guys to have full posting rights etc. However, I live wayyyyyy down the other side of the planet. Is there any such thing as "free associate memberships" for overseas peoples?
  15. somebody report it to snopes.com
  16. Depends on the condition of the car. I found a GZ auto in mint condition really cheap cheap so snapped it up.
  17. Oh. I always thought the Ukranians disliked everyone. Nationalistic buggers really. I suppose I don't really have to dislike you that much because my name is very Western Ukranian in origin - Probably west of Lvov (or Lviv if you prefer) which, depending on the year was part of Poland.
  18. It's ok ... he is Polish, I am half Ukranian ... I don't think we are supposed to like each other.
  19. not if it is the really shiny extra "bling" model ... that guarantees an extra 40rwkw
  20. Kinda the same reason I turn off my computer and don't read any forums down here during school holidays.
  21. Are you trying to say that an auto is 11K all up or 11k more than a manual ?
  22. I have always driven manual cars. I now have an auto TT and have for about 4 years now. Wouldn't go back. The Supra auto gearbox is superb. I just don't understand they boy racer must have a manual to be a real car 'tude.

    I have a feeling they aren't legal out here ... not that that would bother you at all. More importantly, do you not leave your car in gear when you park it?

  25. 24 October 2006 THE rate of road deaths in the Northern Territory is three times higher than anywhere else in Australia, according to a safety report that recommends introducing 110km/h speed limits in the state. The NT has no speed limits on open roads and no demerit points, introduced in most states in 1969. This had led to fatalities, drink-driving and people running red lights, the NT Road Safety Taskforce report found. Launching the report in Darwin today, Chief Minister Clare Martin said its findings were "appalling and shocking". "We as territorians drink and drive, travel very fast, we take risks when we travel and we run red lights," she said. The NT has a road death toll three times the national average with one person killed and nine seriously injured every week. One in every 42 NT drivers is over the legal alcohol limit, compared to one in every 314 in Victoria, according to the report. Despite community opposition to the introduction of speed limits and demerit points, Ms Martin said she was prepared to make "tough decisions" and flagged implementing at least some of the report's 21 recommendations. "We can't turn out back on the recommendations in this report," Ms Martin said. "We do need to change the rules, we need to change the culture of that way territorians get in our cars and go on the roads." To curb the fatality rate, the report recommends a 110km/h default speed limit be imposed on open roads. It also recommends introducing a limited demerit points system with double fines for speeding and jumping red lights. Cabinet would consider the recommendations over the next few weeks, Ms Martin said.
