    Garage Door..

    in Western Australia

    Posted

    Gliderol (from my manual)

    1. Press the LEARN code key once (on mine its the PCB-mounted push button on the main circuit board near the RF-reciever stuff)

    2. the LEARN LED indicator will light up

    3. Press the hand transmitter key that will operate the door (ie, Key 1 on the remote, the main button)

    3. The learn LED light will go out.

    Rinse and repeat for further new transmitters :/

    Crude Oil Prices..

    It would probably take a couple of months for it to go down that much.

    I'm pretty sure there is a direct correlation between the cost of a barrel vs. daily petrol price to a SMALL percentage.

    Here's a fancy graph showing the lag between barrel price vs petrol price.

    After all we are in WA, the very end of the earth.

    Most major refineries are based on the west coast, ie. Kwinana. Distance shouldn't have anything to do with it anyway :P

    Car Accidents

    in WA Wasteland

    Posted

    I crossed an intersection while a car was in the turning lane (so I couldn't see the car behind him)

    Almost got T-boned but the guy swerved and took off my detachable rear bumper.

    Not much damage.

    Except to my seats, they had shitstains for weeks!

    Crash Story Told!

    Whats the point of this thread exactly?

    I'd hope it sinks into the younger members brains when they hear a horror story like this!

    That idiots like him give the rest of the P-platers a bad name, = me getting evil stares all the time from parent & old drivers when they see my big "P" + "Skyline" + "turbo" badge. They should just ban that car, & make everyone who owned one & had a bad driving history drive xcels.

    And rightly so for kids that age. They ARE idiots, they DO think they're invincible. BTW - Stupid driving can occur in any car, Excel or otherwise.

    excel drivers have to be some of the worst on the road dude. They drive their cheap cars, with bad shocks, badly maintained brakes and tyres much too fast with almost no regard for other road users, and in general tend to be people who dont enjoy driving and are generally on the road to get from point a to point b.

    Obviously not all excel drivers are like that but seriously, the number of close calls ive had involving some driver of a cheap pos car is ridiculous.

    Cheap cars with bad shocks, and badly maintained, driving in a sensible manner is fine. Just because you spend extra $k on servicing every year doesn't mate your car less of a risk in a crash. It's all up to the driver.

    To others if you are in this situation tell you mate to slow the f**k down , flat out get out of the car if you have to. no one needs mates like that driver.

    ^ Agreed.
