A mate from church had his bike stolen from a test drive. He apparently seemed genuinely interested in buying it, then took it for a test drive and never came back.

Always go with them FFS

So, anyone looking for a room mate/new place to live soon? I need to find a new, cheaper place to live by mid march as my lease is up early April. Can't afford to keep paying $260 a week, looking to spend $180 tops.

Other thing with test drive is always take the keys with you, if your taking him for a test drive around the block and then halfway through letting him drive back take the keys with you and hand them to him when you get back in. Salesman at work told us how a workmate of his had a car stolen when they swapped around

By that same token, when you get his licence details, write them down and leave them at home. No good to you if he steals your car and grabs the licence back and you've left the paper with the details on in the glovebox

So the dodgey microsoft phone scam is still going on???

Im rarely home these days to receive tele-marketing phone calls to the land line...

But when i get them i like to have fun... Waste their time and have a good laugh...

Todays caller must have got me before, he hung up on me after 14 seconds... Damn it...

As much as I love the location, what is everyone's opinion on a change of location? I'm easy as to where we go, just seems like less people attending since we left ikes cremé.

    • 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.
