And Beer Baron, of Sydney, blamed the drivers for their choice of residence.

"Suck it up people, you want to move to the Central Coast deal with these issues," he said.

"How anyone would want to travel so far to and from work is beyond me. It was a petrol tanker people - if the thing had blown up and killed people you would still whinge ... Labor, Liberal, Nationals, Greens they are all the same and the result would have been no different."

Hahaha, good point there.

I used to live on the coast, although public transport was a joke, there was 2 sets of traffic lights between tuggerah and doyalson... it had its bad and good points.

Now the place sucks. Bogans driving around in their commodores... i am glad i escaped while i had the chance.

As for the F3, well... i find it you sit on 100k/hr you don't have a problem at all. until there is an accident.

For me, traveling 60kms each way to work is not a problem, i go through 3 sets of traffic lights between tuggerah and hornsby, u tell me somewhere in sydney that u can do that, I have worked in sydney all my life and lived on the coast, u get the problems of things like this happening.

Yes it was a petrol tanker, and another truck, 90% of MAJOR freeway closures are due to trucks f**king up. And most of these would not have anything to do with cars. Maybe its time that truck drivers under go more training or speed limits be lowered.

The place doesnt suck man, i work in sydney all day and then come home and its so peaceful on the coast, u can breathe easy and realy the area isnt over crouded like sydney.

$28 million dollars has been spent on the contra flow systems, and these wernt opened up until 8-9 hours after the accident happened..WTF..

Myself and Qantas were stuck in this.. finished work at 5 at hornsby and got home at 9.30 at tuggerah.. its a joke.

We were on the old road and we had a truck behind us.. i was leaving a 1 to 2 car gap and letting the car crawl in first, to save the clutch a bit, and this truckie was just CM off our back bumper, flashing his lights and honking the horn.. he of all ppl can see quite well that the traffic wasnt moving at all..

Well, thinking back on it... only the part between Wyong and Toukley sucks. I cannot comment on the rest of it. Lived there for 15 years of my life and I grew up with people that inhabit the area. I can tell you now that it has left a lasting impression on me.

As for the over-crowding - if only the council upgraded the infrastucture before opening up all the land releases...

I find it so funny everyone always dumping shit on the central coast, when it's such I pain in holidays and round xmass with all the city people running around our beaches, some people hate the coast but most people love it, if it was such a bogan place I can see why we get all the city siders here bothering us with there stupid ways time and time again.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
