Greg, agreed...

Same with reducing the road toll... instead of blaming hoons and speed, try increasing the level of driver training... Most people don't even know how to react in an emergency situation or when ABS kicks in. I've always said that the best thing to do would be to make every learner driver attend a Level 1 and Level 2 Defensive driving course because they could get their P's... Actually getting into slides and recovering from them without just panicing and crashing, government subsidised so they are only $50 or so out of pocket.

But it's never going to happen because the government won't have any usable data after only 3 years that they can bring to the next election. It won't make a difference until 10-20 years later once the road toll actually decreases.

That video i posted is the problem with politics.

There is no way i could ever be a politician. It woildnt matter what side of the fence i sat on there would be video's ans photo's of my past that would destroy me.

That is another problem, the problem with politics is politics.

Logically people aren't the same people now that they were at 20. I don't know anyone who is.

Therefore, why should they be expected to be?

How did Bill Clinton's conduct with interns affect his ability to run a government?

It doesn't.

No-one would really argue on a factual basis that it would.

Yet, the incessant bullshit surrounding politics, ruins politics.

If people just let them do their damn job, and their competency was the only thing that mattered, and people laid out plans to set the country up well after they were gone...

... and people understood that

we'd all be better off.

Re: Driving

Only takes about 20 minutes in Germany to realise they understand the concept of personal responsibility.

Human beings aren't as dumb individually as "people" would have you believe.

Alcohol in Check out lanes? its fine.

Driving 200kmh to work on roads no better than the Monash? its fine.

Letting off fireworks in the middle of the streets while drinking? its fine.

There's a culture of personal responsibility there.

Are Germans just naturally a bit smarter and able to handle these things that would make Australian police and news scream OH GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN WHAT A DISASTER! or are we just America 2.0 full of nanny state PROTECT THE KIDS HOLY SHIT WHAT WOULD GOD THINK?

A little bit of reason would go a long f**king way to running a country instead of people bitching about what is said on twitter or what clothes the leader of a country is wearing.

This especially shits me with people that blindly "love" everything a band/singer does over 30+ years especially when their sound changes a lot.

The chance that in that time your music tastes ran in parallel is pretty slim....

Take Madonna for example...

Also, it's very obvious what background people have when they type like this :P

=/= means accounting background

!= or <> means computing / programming background

"what the hell does that mean" means farming background

I think I just got insulted....

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
