Already posted in the Wanted To Borrow Thread,

But does anyone have access to a car trailer that I could borrow on Saturday for the price of a carton?

I'm located up north east, and would need the trailer 3pm-4pm.

Not sure a hire trailer from the servo is worth $69 for one hour's of usage.

cheer, Nigel

an abundance jake? really? come on.

No: It's too dangerous

* Dr Helen Caldicott, anti-nuclear activist: “We spend millions of dollars trying to find a cure for cancer, [yet] here’s an industry that will directly propagate that hideous disease. Nuclear power is medically contraindicated.”

ok, cool. so its okay to use readioactive therapy for treating cancer, and xrays are cool, but its not okay to have 3rd and 4th gen nuclear reactors in the middle of butt f**k egypt powering the hospitals with the waste stored even further away than butt f**k egypt?

... okay...?

funnily enough, the nuclear power debate is one that comes up rather frequently at work (we have a fair bit of free time), and the 3 most popular reasons used for the 'no' argument are nuclear proliferation (even though half the people that use this argument dont actually know what it means).

terrorism, which is a pretty slim chance sorta thing considering nuclear reactors around the world have about as much security as your average nuclear weapons storage/production/destruction facility.

(if anyones ever seen 'worlds biggest fixes on discovery, this covered briefly during an episode where theyre repairing a nuclear reactor turbine, probably ex military security wearing military grade armour and carrying m4 carbines in every room of the facility, on top of numerous 'unfakable' security check points).

and finally, nuclear waste storage, some people simply cannot seem to fathom how little room nuclear waste takes up, especially in a country like australia, where such a huge percentage of the continent is suitable (and suitably distant from population centres) for the storage of depleted nuclear materials, and that the vessels used to transport and store said spent fuel have been constantly improved and tweaked since before nuclear power was even an idea.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
