Oh if she doesn't mind being around meat, go to Papparich! It's cheap and it's really good food. My gf is vegetarian and liked the stuff they had there.

Awesome, do I need to make reservation on Sat for lunch? Or would I be good to rock up?

So much for Evos being the new import to own. Craze lasted like 6 months, now everyone hates them lol

I like the evo, it's just gutless... which I plan to fix when i have ca$h

that's why you buy an entertainment book, buy one get one free so it does cost $5-$6 a burger

chef's don't do entertainment books.

I thought if you used one of those books the chef spat in your food.

or at least used yesterdays leftover ingredients they were throwing out

not spit....

but you will definitely get worse food...

chef will definitely cheap out on the food though... portion size, expensive ingredients and effort. you will also get the oldest, shittest piece of steak/fish etc.

They will also either push the food out right away to get you out and a paying customer in, or put your order to the back of the queue.

I did this every time. without any guilt.

and before you get all up in my shit about it, think about it from the chef's POV

1) people that use the guide are not return customers, they only come once a year at best.

2) even if you try to give them the good shit and it's awesome, they are most likely to go to somewhere else next time to use more vouchers

3) better off to keep the good shit for your core customers, that spend more and will return.

4) experience shows that most of the time they come in, use the voucher, drink free water or 1 glass of wine at best don't tip and are more likely to be rude to waitstaff.

I see where your coming from but:

Why does the owner then advertise in these entertainment books?

If it is for increased advertising of the restaurant then surely it is in the best interests of the restaurant to serve good food to the customer so word spreads.

Disclaimer: Have never owned one of these entertainment books

overall it's a profitable venture... nothing like a restaurant full of paying customers every night though..

end of the day it's guaranteed custom but at a lower return than real customers

If it is for increased advertising of the restaurant then surely it is in the best interests of the restaurant to serve good food to the customer so word spreads.

of course... that's restaurant tactics 101... but it goes a lot deeper than that in practice

you have to hedge your bets, so you do.

also, work in restaurants for a while and you start to notice that a high percentage of voucher customers complain about every little thing possible and are never happy anyway lol

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
