Just had an hour long meeting to discuss what we're going to talk about during a 30 minute meeting later this evening... *sigh*

thats pretty much my view of management. its just one big hand-ball to the next person at the next meeting.

anyone around clayton/mordy area tomorrow afternoon/evening feel like helping me load the pulsar onto trailer?

dont think I could do it by myself, dont think it has a winch on it either.

...and the missurs wont be very helpful. she struggles to even guide people when theyre reversing.

It was a pre-meeting before a conference call tonight with our Europe office, I was getting everyone here on the same page so we can go in as a team and yell at them for being dumbsheits, in a consistent manner.

I'll driving through clayton on my way home at about 5:30-5:45 tomorrow night if you need a hand.

awesome, thanks. theres a chance my dad might make it, so ill let you know if i do need help.

since when did vicroads charge money to check demerit points?

it was only like a year or two ago you could just ring up and it was read by the automated system, now you speak to someone and you have to pay for a report. utter bs.

dafuq???

I'm pretty sure that there's always been a paid report thing that you can get sent to you... But I've always just called them up, and they've told me over the phone what's up... then a few days later I receive the report in the mail anyway...

Just speak to a Vicroads team member, avoid their automated system that'll try to money grab you for basic information...

but the automated system doesnt grab money...you just enter in your licence details and it spits out the points...

I just called and it went straight to a real person... "have your licence number and credit card ready" :angry:

well hes watched me do it a couple of items so im sure he does.......I doubt he could be f**ked doing it himself though...

why whats the problem?

My boot lid has, what looks to be a paint / clear coat blemish for bird shit.

I cleaned the shit off but I have a feeling it ate through / blemished the clear coat.

if you have some cutting compound, put it on a small rag or maybe like a chux cloth or something slightly abrasive and buff it by hand,,,should get the stain out..but will leave some swirly marks in that area...which yeah ,would then require a buff..

if it has actually lifted or bubbled the clearcoat...its too late and you're stuck with it

i rang to check up car rego a few months ago and thye didnt charge me

just looekd at website and its under maintenance, maybe that has something to do with it

seeing as Birds gets me to polish his car...I'm guessing no....lol

I do, it's just cheaper and less effort to pay you lol

Case in point my motorbike

But do go to Artz...he is faster and certainly cheaper...I charge nude model rates...

nah my rates are gone up...then again so has the quality of my work so its only fitting...

did you dot that by hand, or bought a machine...?

By hand. Would need a Dremel and tiny pads to detail a bike / pull the fairings off it. It's just a glaze, not a proper polishing compound.

Ok cool, thanks for that :thumbsup:

    • 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.
