  1. Ring back wheels world with your other quotes and they will most likely better or match it.
  2. I got Hankooks from Wheels World in Osborne Park. Ring them for a price.. 4a Carbon Crt Osborne Park 6017 (08) 9244 2277
  3. What about derby? WA people say it as its spelt. Eastern staters say 'Darby' Also appreciate - there's 'a-preesh-e-ate' and 'a-pre-see-ate'. Which one is correct?
  4. Topaz - no limit on how many times you can enter. Forms are from BP - or download them from that link I posted. YAY for squishing receipts in centre console
  5. Hey Everyone Has anyone seen the lastest competition at BP? http://www.bp.com/sectiongenericarticle.do...ntentId=7014044 If you fill up with more than $20 worth of fuel at BP you can enter to win $100 000 worth of BP Utlimate. Sounds like a good comp for us import owners - since we all mainly use BP ultimate fuel! cheers, Liz
  6. Thats right - you can only claim the tax free threshold for one job. So youwill need to fill out a tax declaration form when you start a new job, if its your second job you can't tick the box to claim the threshold. Its illegal to claim it for more than one job. Your second job is then taxed at the full rate which is like 49% or something - and then it doesnt make it worth it in some cases. There will be more info on www.ato.gov.au
  7. Noise - you're right. I just got my 'you need to get a valuation letter' and I rung up to inquire about mods. The only ones they will allow and insure (if listed on your valuation) is exhaust, intercooler, suspension and body kits. They specifically said NO aftermarket computers.
  8. Nat - go into your local Bunnings and ask to fill out an application form and hand it in with your resume. All the stores are always looking for people. There are also night fill roles available. Also there is HouseWorks in Joondalup - which is like an Ikea store. This is also owned by Bunnings, you could try there as well?
  9. Have you thought about a Bunnings store? They pay above award casual rates...

    Hey Russ - long time so see! Hope to see you on a cruise soon BTW - I think Dan really needs those stickers - got memberships waiting!!
  11. $3000 this month for me! PS - I know what its like to get paid monthly - IT SUCKS!!!
  12. Jason - I think there are WA only 4wd magazines you can buy. You should have a look at them, I am sure they would have good tracks and advice in there as well.
  13. Mirkz - you left early you piker As the cruise mascot you should stay until the end!!!! Was great to meet a few new people on the cruise. Ant - I hope you had fun on your first SAUWA cruise!
  14. Yes you are right, you can have the revs drop lower without stalling it, you usually take off in 2nd gear. But climbing steep hills or powering through mud, if you change gears too soon revs drop too low (kind of like the way it works in a petrol car) and it loses momentum. Driving a car like that is different, but most of the concepts are the same - ie recovery. So I am probably NOT right in respects to petrol 4wd and revs etc Anyway I am sure Jason will learn what is right for his car when he does the course.
  15. I didnt say to keep the revs up as in foot flat to the floor with the engine screaming its guts out. I meant as in what you said.... you dont want to change gears too soon have the revs drop out and lose momentum. I am talking about driving diesels as well.. not petrol 4wd. With diesels, it is alot more important to keep the revs. Thanks for 'attempting' to explain it so much better than what I did. And thanks for the advice on 'putting my neck on the line' - but I think driving an emergency vehicle with 9 passengers is putting my 'neck on the line' enough.
  16. You will definitley need something more than a Rav4. I have done alot of hairy 4wdriving when I was in SES, in their Landcruiser troop carriers and I recommend that you try and go with another car when you go off road. The reason for this is you can help get each other out of trouble. Its ALOT harder when there is only you. The 2 main pieces of recovery equipment you will need is a winch (esp of you are going alone) and a snatch strap. Also take a shovel, air compresser (pump the tyres up after you let them down for sandy driving). I doubt you will need a chainsaw though.... chopping down a tree won't help you You will need the tree standing to winch! If there are no tree's you can bury your spare tyre - yes make sure you have one or two - and use that as an anchor point. And make sure you take alot of water... for obvious reasons. We dont want to see you on the news doing a Robert Boguki (sp?) Some advice when 4wdriving - which you will no doubt learn at AHG is never let your revs down. You have to keep them high, especially in sandy/boggy terrain. If you drop off the revs you will get bogged. Also follow the wheel ruts of other cars -the ground will be compressed and less boggy.

  22. MSG (monosodium glutamate) isnt illegal.... its just a type of salt that gives more flavour. Shan - you should be able to buy all those spices from the spice section at Coles or Woolies. I am sure Masterfoods would produce it.
