Last night the wind gust was quite big. Heard of some trees falling in Tullamarine area dropping on cars.

Any wind damage around your area?

Lucky not much on mine, just a bit dignity is hurt - here's what my wife found when she got home from work:

The wind blew so strong till the wheelie bin "ate" my car.......

It's either a case of the 2-wheeler falling in love with a 4-wheeler or

the wheelie bin thinks the 13-yo car is rubbish.

OWNED BY THE WHEELIE BIN! Anyhow green & red does look good in pictures!

Gosh, is that in Northcote? I've just moved out of Thornbury/Fairfield area. Seems like hail or gail loves to strike there too. About 2 years ago a huge hail storm damaged a lot of units in my block and not to mention writing off some cars from water damage to the interior & electrical system, not to mention lots of panel damage from the hail.

Got a bit on the balcony. Cats had used the BBQ cover as a scratching post and ripped the corner. Wind worked on the small tear and ripped the cover quite badly. Need to think about a replacement but taking the claws off the cats could be cheaper.

Did anyone see the house that flew off the back of the truck on eastern freeway near Doncaster exit? Was yesterday at about 12:30-1pm....

It was one of those wide load trucks carrying a wooden house, and the wooden house was destroyed on the road.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
