Really? I thought it was at least 100kg Steve........hence why Andrew & I were allowed. Have the rules changed. Edit: I just remembered, he didn't run the full chair mode when I used it so maybe that's another possibility?

That's awesome man.....congrats and well done to Mum

If it were cheaper than a chinese full lift, I'd probably be interested. I've already got 150mm thick slab 32mpa and over 3 metre height in both sheds so that shouldn't be an issue......shame about the price though

Mate, tell her to take a teaspoon of cement and get her to catch a bus!! Seriously though, hope everything goes well......and quick for her sake. This should be a very good year for all of you Brad with everything else that's happening........all the best bud.

Craig, that's possibly the best advice on here....well done

Jawrgy, you make 2 or 3 good points and seem to be in touch with what's happening around us andz, you've obviously heard that a picture speaks a 1000 words.......you've pretty much encapsulated everything I was trying to say Dames, without getting into a big debate about bricks & mortar vs shares, you'll find that there are still a few bargains out there if you're savvy enough.........just not in this state. As for shares, I haven't seen 1 single share in the last 10 or 20 years that has outperformed property........the money that has been made in as little as 2 or 3 years in property would take 20 or 30 years to do the same in shares.......show me a share that can return you $100K PROFIT with only a $70K investment........I had 4 of them. And we won't go into today's News Ltd Business headlines which say; "Global fears wipe $28 Billion off shares".......and that's just the Aussie market.......the rest of the world is 100 times worse. The old saying that says; "as safe as bricks & mortar" still exists today.......just alot harder to find the bargains. Those of you that know Gavin Leathley should have a chat to him sometime.

Are you planning on moving to Adelaide? If not, why the interest in Adelaide for investment? Reason I ask is that South QLD has far better opportunities for investment as the bottom has fallen out of their market, whereas up until recently, economists where stating that the Median price range in Adelaide Metro is over valued by approx 15% and still on its way down. I bought another investment property (2 storey, 5Bed, 3 Bath) on the Gold Coast (Miami) last December which is walking distance from the beach. A property like this in Adelaide with the same proximity to one of our popular beaches would cost well over $1 Mill, yet I got it for 1/2 the price. The other considerations in Adelaide vs South QLD is Stamp Duty (almost 1/2 the cost) & Land Tax (which can be 10 times more once you hit the $1 Mill threshold). As far as booms go, I agree with Andrew that we're unlikely to ever see properties triple & quadruple in price again, like we did a few years ago but there's a reason for that, other than economic growth factors. The 2 main reasons for the recent boom were: 1/. Cyclical 2/. Demand vs supply which was mainly fueled by the Baby Boomers all cashed up and getting ready to retire early. An example of this is that me and a couple of similar aged close mates bought up close to 30 properties between us since the turn of the Century and most of them were positively geared but with prices the way they are now, all the buyers have disappeared, hence why Adelaide is still waiting for a correction in the market. Unlike South QLD that has already experienced this correction due to their market being flooded by apartments. If 3 Baby Boomers averaged 10 properties each, 1000 Baby Boomers could've bought 10,000 properties. Now I know not everyone bought that many properties, but I also know that there were more than 1000 buyers out there in a sleepy hollow like Adelaide and I also know of some investors that bought whole streets in the Elizabeth & Hackham areas. If you are moving here, come here 1st and rent for awhile before taking the plunge, otherwise there are better investment opportunities elsewhere. Goodluck with it either way.

Welcome aboard Deedz

Anyone in here that erects pool fences or something similar to keep my dog out of the patio area??

ahh yeah, I did pick that as well

Had a quick look at that link.........there was only one real idiot on there that had nothing to offer..."KRANZE" Even Nisskid, who can be quite negative at times, offered some good constructive criticism. There were a couple of other haters on there as well but no one stood out as much as that first clown (aka "Ted180")

considering the video production is still in its infancy, I reckon it's a top effort. Things like content, material, and nerves usually get sorted out in the long term...............can only get better judging by what we've seen so far.

Very nice John.............Disco 4 & Range Rover would have to be my fave 4WD's at the moment.......other than my 200 Series Cruiser

Another nice video Vu & Kahli....well done guys

Glad you got it back bud. and you're only 4 or 5 km east of the plush suburb of Alberton where that sort of stuff never happens

I actually followed your link Steve where it shows pictures of a Chev Camaro, and a Dodge Challenger............2 different cars bud regardless of what your search comes up with

LOL Steve, a Chev Challenger is like saying a Holden Charger you're just generalizing Luke...........it's not that bad, surely

but you've got 4 poles stuck in your bonnet

Port Adelaide is a lovely place, everything at your finger tips and a very classy suburb Back on topic......I can see a Chev badge on that blue thing above but can't workout what it is......anyone know?

did he buy the Disco 4..........Sure it's not a Range Rover Andrew? What engine has it got?

Who's Dingo btw??

Hmmm, sounds like a bit of a plan Jet. Lot of guys on here are into drag racing (including our own SA Mod Matt "whatshisname") so a group trip over there could be on the cards if there's enough interest.

yep, makes perfect sense. With that in mind then, there is obviously still a place for DD but only as a tuning tool..........so when guys spit out their laminates off a DD, in most cases the number is merely a guide (or wank factor in Ford's case) At the end of the day, your trap speed on a good 1/4 mile run will always determine true HP, so if a mainline can emulate that, it goes a long way in determining the approx ET your ride is capable of

Very nice Martin (and Gav)..........as I said a couple of posts earlier (and especially in this case), "wheels maketh the car"!! Seriously though, the Willall fitout looks great on a silver car..........just wouldn't look right if it was red or yellow or similar

Heck yeah......you gotta draw the line somewhere.........last time I checked, the General didn't know what forced induction was and no, bikes don't count...sorry
