Think I will getting a letter from customs either tomorrow or early next week about some parts I got coming in.

Been 1week already in customs awaiting approvel to send out to me. Should be 4-7days delivered instead.

Heard a few interesting theories about what they want to do to fix it up.

This BP thing is just silly, surely with the amount of off-shore drilling going on these days, you would have a plan to stop this yeah? WRONG!

I say just sikaflex that shit.

It's not just BP you know?

It's the company that owns the rig and the company that concreted the base. All of them are at fault yet the media only play up on the big name. There's also a chance this could be the end of BP as their stock prices have dropped dramaticlly so only time will tell.

The reason why it's taking so long to fix is because they have to deviate a new well from a few km away to force the mud through the original well that they tapped into. They will have to re sleeve the old well which is going to be hard work as the psi is so high from the escaping gas which is forcing the oil out.

The mud that they are using has some chemical base which doesn't allow gases to go through it. This will slow the oil flow till it's eventually stopped and then use the new well drilled to continue with the remaining oil.

so, i have been hammering my car loan to get it out of the way

i have $77 left,

if i pay that $77 right now, i have to pay a $300 fee to close the loan early.

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BANK SA!

thats the case with every loan Craig! It sucks.

That's why (depending on the purpose) I'll use a credit card with 12mths interest free terms. Zero interest and I can pay it out in less than 12 months with no BS payout fee.

:blink:

^ thats the same with my loan, the fixed interest one anyway.

Also seen your trackie at Garage 7 today Craig, looks tough as a badly cooked steak with the wheels spaced out.

would have seen my black coupe there too!

If you can afford to pay out a 15k+ loan in 12 months, a $300 fee isnt much to worry about!

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
