Yea its gunna be a biggy. Cat 5,sposed to landfall, late weds early thurs south of cairns. Most of the mines here in central qld are gettin evaced already. Good luck you boys up north,stay safe

Yeah I heard a lot of the mines have shut down and evacuated. They started doing mandatory evacuations in Townsville today from suburbs right on the coastline that are expected to completely flood.

My sources were actually two from last night, one military and the other from a meeting in the police force with rescue services. Both were pretty much saying similar things, obviously planning for the worst.

At the moment the situation looks a bit better for Townsville as the cyclone has moved a bit north. Definetely a lot worse for Cairns though.

I think Townsville will mainly cop a lot of the water while Cairns will have to deal with the majority of the wind.

Either way, not to bloody good.

Considering what has happened in Brisbane and the level of warning that has been given with all the cyclone stuff..... I would be (and am) keeping my car in the safest possible spot.

I think insurance companies are going to be as unhelpful as they are allowed to be

if your house and car is destroyed by a cyclone its covered under insurance yeah??

Yeah it is ment to be.

Problem with me is if my car got written off, the payout they would give me is around 1/4 of what the thing owes me and I would die inside. Also I am ment to be selling my motorbike this Friday, so i'm praying to god nothing happens to it. I managed to squeeze it into the garage between our two cars. My old man couldn't pull that off at his place though so his bike is now in the dining room lol.

Jesus christ that is scary.

Seriously, i'm going to be that dickhead you people hear about next week that got killed trying to save his car from going under water lol. "Holy shit, isn't that Phil screaming and waving his hands near that....oh crap."

*Runs to garage to adjust Tein suspension to maximum height*

don't stress phil, you'll be right where you are. mt louisa should shelter you a little from the wind.

i am still lmao at your sig :laugh:

let me know if ya need a hand, work has given us tomorrow off to cyclone prep our homes.

also the army has been warned out to help with recovery if/when its needed.

Hahaha nah i'm all good. Just gotta wait it out and see I suppose. Going to suck balls once the power and water goes out though. I like my meals and canned shit and bottled water just aint going to cut it for me!

Upgarded to Cat5 - 295kmh winds predicted, a meter of rain, 4-6 meter king tide x 2. WTF

I'd be heading south in a hurry this morning.

Lol @ Pre Cyclone parties being held. The Aussie way.

I think i'd wait for the after party folks.

"I dont think were in Cairns anymore Toto"

    • 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.
    • 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.
