Firstly if anyone hears of a 2nd hand acer laptop being sold, let me know immediately.

Secondly, a brief story. I was at a friends place in the forum in the city, I walked out to my car at midnight (an hour ago) to find the rear passenger window smashed and my laptop stolen.

I was obviously pretty upsett but felt my insurance (NRMA) would come to the rescue.... nope! Sorry, we don't cover other items in the car.

Now the fact that my $2,500 laptop was stolen and apparently uninsured is upsetting, what really hurts is that being a real estate agent my whole data base is on there which translates to potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost business over the years ahead.

Fortunately, I have my phone synced to my database so I will maintain most of the basic details, allowing me to rebuild it to what it used to be, over time.

No real point to this post other than I can't sleep and this helps get it off my chest.

But that's life I suppose and these things happen, not such a huge deal in the big scheme of things.

But please, keep an eye out for any dodgy suspects trying to sell a used acer laptop, I'd like to have a brief "chat" with them.

Yes been through that exact same problem (except the car was stolen as well).

I now have shannons preium home insurance that covers up to 20% of household contents in the car. Otherwise you can get unspecific and specific insurance for items in the car (personnel effects) from most big insurers.

Did you look in the bushes around the area? We had a laptop stolen from a car in Dickson and found it the next morning looking around the bushes nearby. I suspect they were kids who didn't want to carry it at the time or didn't know how to explain to mum and dad.

That's terrible. There seems to ba a spate of this kind of sh!t at the moment. Our bikes (pushies) got stolen some time on thursday morning from our locked storage cage in our 'secure' carpark. You could imagine my delight to find an empty cage when i was on my way to work, but on the bright side they didn't touch either of our cars (yet).

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 12 years later!

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
