Hahahaha you know you want to. Got 6 people looking at it this weekend. See if anyone has the guts to lowball to my face.

Lowball on my face

I'm amazed just how low some people seem to go these days, makes me wonder just how much I should be trying to knock down my next car.

Ran over something, bent k frame bent transmission bracket, dented exhaust ripped the heat shield, slight gouge in the rear bar and probably broke some clips on the rear bar as it came out the back.. They said they were gonna fix it.. Few weeks later when it was supposed to be ready I get a call saying it damaged the floor and might be written off, 2 weeks after that it was gonna be repaired, another week or 2 later and it was written off... Damaged transmission tunnel etc etc

that is shithouse treatment.

 

just curious due to my Facebook stream of late, suncorp group insurance, ie AAMI/Shannons?

the renewal after 3 years is just a bpay however do not need to go back into vic roads till the 10 year mark to get a new photos..

 

so if you renew at 9 years you end up not going there for 12 years.

 

 

[Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0]

got my drivers license renewal..

3 year for $79.5

10 year for $272.30

is my math wrong or is that $26.5 for 3 year and 27.23 for 10 year.

isn't it normally a discount for a longer one??

64,000 acres?

 

and I bet I would still get annoyed by the neigbours

[Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0]

660 is a bit of a random amount.

 

our original farm was 640 acres as that was 1 square mile. and most farms were in multiple or divisions of that eg 320 Acres as they were all laid out pre metric.

 

interesting side note,

 

original farm 640 acres

 

where I lived in Melbourne approx 0.064 acres

 

new place approx 6.4 acres

In some ways I'm glad when they decided to sell the rental I was in they asked us to vacate...5 months longer would have been even better however

I need a new modem as well, the one my republic give you is so shit.

not had to buy one for years as been living off the modem that optus Cable used as they kept sending me new ones every few years and worked a treat.

 

what are good and bad these days? had a good run with netgear back when I used to buy them.

Any extra mileage you get from a VW after the first day of ownership is a bonus really

but is it....as that means your driving it.

So a couple years back I was involved in a rather large bid for a national id system that we ended up not winning

 

seems they are having problems deploying 

 

so once again....head hunters knocking on my door

 

technically a booze free nation tho so bugger moving there

 

 

[Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0]

just imagine me on one of those.

 

[Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0]

but in the day of NBN it's not their gear, it's NBN, the end of the day all NBN re sellers are on same equipment, so it's literally just support and data allowance/speed.

when ISP's had their own gear yes it made a big difference, but now, not so much.

Oh god no, those guys are terrible 

Had to take a TIO complaint against them to get out of contract at the Mrs old rental.. customer service is non existent so hopefully you dont have issues 

seriously...who in IT calls support....


think I called optus twice in the 12 years at previous place, that was to get them to upgrade to free hardware.


NBN mange all the crap, ISP are just a interface to them

 

with NBN it's more does your provider have enough bandwidth, if not change on next renewal.

 

 

now i'm not locked into hardware I'm planning on being such a broad minded person with ISP's

 

 

[Vic Wasteland Thread - 15.0]

i'm with my republic NBN, Highest speed tier, unlimited everything 70$ a month

 

working nicely for me.
