imagine that BY THE TIME YOU KNOW ABOUT THE FIRE (this includes smoke etc) its already too late to go...

that's the sad truth for some people in this case...

fire moving @ 120kph... you have to understand that the fire's gonna be on you before you have time to escape through kilometres of minding roads.

ok, so maybe if ou left your house every day over 40 your point might make some sense

Deputy PM in parliament was reading out some stories, it one was of this couple where the wife had been nagging the husband to build a fire shelter, to which his reply was "stop bloody nagging me and i'll build the bloody thing!" hahahah, anyways, he built the fire shelter which from pictures look like nothing more than a whole lot of those cinder blocks? the ones bigger grey ones? dug down into the earth. And that was it, a fairly small brick area built into the earth. They lost the house i believe, but survived unharmed.

i'm also certain there will be some extra mandatory requirements for new homes what's all is said and done.

None of those responses are bitching, you as a moderator of this site should know better than that.

If any action is taken it should be against the inconsiderate person who started this shitfight.

Bitching might have been a poor choice or words but you know exactly what I mean so show some maturity. Enough about Ash full stop.

for those wondering why residents didn't leave, they did... but the fire was travelling at 120km/hr....... 120km/hr..... i don't care if you're Tsuchiya, you cannot maintain a 120km/hr+ place on a winding country road ...

LOL tsuchiya :thumbsup: ... sad situation... but that made me laugh out loud in the office

You can sue VicRoads/Local council over poorly maintained roads causing accidents why not local govt for not maintaining the fire tracks (funding cut) and not back burning and creating fire breaks (funding cut and greeny morons - some plants need fire you dipshits)? It's not like this wasn't a foreseeable outcome of not clearing bushfire fuel for 26-40+ years and emergency services not being able to get through.

Can everyone here having a go @ me say they felt the same for the Americans that died during Felix? 130+ dead, 150,000 people displaced? Its a risky area they knowingly live in.

If you answer no, then I'm very interested to know why. It's no different to what's happened here, in fact its worse.

I felt the same over that situation as i do about this, at least i am consistent

How odd comparing a completely uncontrollable natural disaster to a containable and preventable (to this extent) one. +1 for speaking too soon, 170>130 funnily enough.

Thats the cutest damn thing ive seen today.

Condolences to everyone who's been touched by this horriffic tragedy & RIP to those who've lost their lives.

Witnessing Australia's biggest natural disaster certainly has been an awful experience.

My thoughts go out to those affected.

Also Ive registered with CFA Headquarters and offered to help with anything that I can - if anyone else has spare time, might be worth you doing the same.

I dont think you could class most of this as a natural disaster because some one lit the fires to begin with.

All this hate floating around, if you want to hate someone/thing hate the green flamin mongrels who put a halt to backburning and firebreaks, save the animals WTF? thats exactly what these measures did, now we have more severe and larger fires, that wipe more animals off the map than any firebreak or backburn could do.

Tell your member of parliment that!

Hey Bec, did you register with them online or at the head office themselves?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
