I agree with the parents on this one. It really should not be sold. And this is coming from someone that drinks spirits regularly and can handle rectified spirit without issues.

It's just not worth the risk

What the f**k Martin your whole life is just a whirlwind of upgrades.

well flights andsuch it's a little expected at my travel level

this one was out of the blue however as I'm not even in their loyalty program,

If all we have on record in Australia is one death from spirytus, then it's not doing too badly considering the poisoning and destruction that alcohol on the whole causes to lives and families.

I'm with Darwin on this. People kill themselves with beer and a steering wheel...we won't be seeing that get banned anytime soon, cause tax and the whole "few who spoil it for the many" argument.

I thankfully missed the DECA when Spirytus came out and it was bad times for everyone...

I've had strong stuff in the past, whenever my body says "NO!!!" it just throws it up (Absinthe etc). I wouldn't have thought that only a 2 shots would be enough to kill... make incredibly drunk and sick, yes... but that said she did already have other drinks in her stomach.

I think you'll find drink driving is actually illegal.

It isn't, which is why the drink is a scapegoat in a sensationalist story that should be about irresponsible drinking instead

No blame for the fk wits who kept handing her alcohol or the girl herself

It's irresponsible, sure, but I would wager that the people drinking it had no idea of the lethality of the drink.

If you can you know, accidentally kill yourself with it, then there needs to be some kind of control as to how it's procured. It's a lot harder to literally kill yourself with VB.

According to Nicole’s grieving family, the Thornlie teen only had a few mixed drinks over the course of the evening when she was offered the spirit by a male friend. A few hours later, she was dead.

Not sure if they're trying to imply that males are irresponsible and they are the cause for her death, or if he was planning on sexually assaulting her, because he was male, and that's what all males do...

f**king men.

Nothing accidental about ingesting copious amounts of alcohol

They teach kids about the dangers of alcohol in school still don't they?

It's about as accidental as pushing a kitchen knife into your stomach

The only thing worse would have been receiving the dangerous drink from a pod filter

never taught us about booze..

but was proper redneck culture, so if you not tanked on a friday then they question your sexuality and beat you up.

    • 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.
