It was removed last time as it was bagging/slandering a business.

You can post pics, tell your story etc. I dont think there is a problem with that.

Just dont go mentioning any business names, or have the name somewhere in any of your pics.

Get people to e-mail you or something if they would like to know the name of the place etc.

That's my view on it anyhow.

as Gizmo73 said, we dont wanna get SAU caught in a sh(t fight.

*sigh*

Let me explain this again.... I own this site, its directly in my name as a private site, no business or company etc... Basically, if somebody wants to look to somebody to blame for lost business, guess where they look?

Also, dont think I am over-reacting as I have 5 lawyers in my family (3 in my immediate family) and so have received more than enough legal advice about SAU.

If you want to warn people, great - dont name the company and if people want to know who it is, you can email them.

Thanks,

Christian

..the dark side :rofl:

but there are reasons why exact names can't be mentioned, even if everybody is probably aware of who they are. Unfortunately the lawyers have made slander applicable on the internet, where if you ask me it doesn't belong. But dum de dum, thats just me.

You'd be surprised how many emails/phonecalls i get from different businesses talking about certain threads where they are mentioned in a negative context... even if there was no legal grounds for them, i hate them thinking that I am behind the slander (which it is at the end of the day) just because (possibly) they made a mistake on one car.

Know what I mean?

I know.. when freedom of speech becomes invaded by lawyers it is no longer such.

I can say to my mates, or 50 people standing around "don't go to xxxx" they are crap.. but soon as you do it on the internet you're liable to be sued. I love lawyers. I Love america creeping into Australia. It is the best.

(apologies to prank's family, i am sure they are great people ;))

First off, there is no freedom of speech in Australia contrary to popular opinion. We don't have a bill of rights either; another popular misconception.

I also take exception to you blaming lawyers, perhaps because I have a lawyer in my immediate family. Lawyers are not responsible for designing or enacting laws (ie. legislation), they merely operate within the bounds of existing laws. If you want to whinge about the current legal system, take aim at your friendly politician, because it is they who design and enact the legislation (although technically the design part is often the responsibility of some middle-level bureaucrats).

Edit: I should also note that judges do have some scope for the interpretation of legislation and for the creation of law ("common law") through the doctrine of precedence. However, increasingly the discretionary powers of judges are being legislated out of existence.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
