Random question but does anyone know where or if the pharse "Noah go forth and build me an Ark made of Gopher wood" appears in the bible? I've googled the scripture from Genesis 6 and it seems totally different from what I remember from Religious Ed in Primary School.

You would need alot of horny gophers to make an ark from gopher wood lmao

There are a heap of different translations of the bible and some are worded quite differently. Some attempt to translate it 'word-for-word' where others attempt to convey the meaning of the original Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek texts. The end result can be very different.

I can't find a translation that exactly matches what you said for Genesis 6:14 but the king james version is close:

KJV - Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

Contrast that to the New King James, New International Version and English Standard Versions:

NKJ - Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with pitch.

NIV - So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.

ESV - Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.

Apparently the exact type of wood specified is not certain - no one knows the correct translation of the original Hebrew word.

Genesis 6:12-24 or Genesis:6:14-22 from memory...

"SAU, go forth and build thee an Ark made of coke cans" Was thinking about doing a vinyl sticker for it. Yellow engine light with the $ in the middle with the words "Project Ark".

Hopefully with any luck after the renovations are done she'll be show worthy.

Wedge. Leopard is not a skyline so this day holds no relevance :P

You might be missing the Leopard, she is very pretty. What happened to the Wedge?

This.

I know they're all translated differently. I've read like 6 different versions this morning and couldn't find exactly what I remembered, so I rang my catholic grandmother, who seemed quite thrilled that I was calling to discuss Religion. Should have just gone and watched that Steve Carell movie instead.

Google says that it's Gen 6:14 where that line occurs.

Just get a sticker saying "Gen 6:14"

Then I look like a Churchie, although I think most people know that Gen 6:14 is Noahs Ark.

Do you think we can build secret compartments inside my Ark? After all I have to keep all those dead hookers somewhere.

Going down to Bunnings soon to get a piece of MDF. Sick of the sink hole in my boot. I have to come into The Valley to pick up a bridal shower gift so I'll take Georgina's measurements while I'm there.

Define "Most people"?

I had no idea....

I wouldn't park around the back if I was you. It's a bit of a shit fight in here today. Can you grab the MDF and stuff tomorrow. There are a few other bits and bobs that I need from Bunnings as well.

Okays. Can you make me a shopping list if its more than say 5 things, my brain is a sink hole.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
