have you ever been through the mallaca straights?

it really is amazing it doesnt happen more often. its not like the ships can just put on the brakes and stop in 100m.

I was heading into singapore once (sailed in there a few times), and at 45 degrees to port and starboard or the bow, I counted over 90 contacts, then I gave up.

How the *** do you colide with a supertanker?  

Its not like u wouldnt see it coming!

Surprisingly its fairly easy for larger ships to collide.

Problem is that they are very hard to manouvre. You just cant turn them around or stop, it can take a long distance (kilometres)

Often they come across each others path's at fairly late notice and in heavy seas, or fog its all over. In really heavy seas its possible to loose sight of big ships very easily.

Commercial ships are alot different to control than a small tinny or even a 60ft charter boat!

that actually happened last week..and it was only about 100 japanese second-hand cars..still a shame though.

I had a friend last week whose car managed to make it safely to Australian shores, only to have a container accidentally dropped on it. doh!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      No, so what happened is. I put a bunch of filler then I sanded it all down, I removed all the filler (unintentionally), then I put the epoxy primer on because that section of the panel is bare metal. The car is parked outside so I needed to protect it in the meantime incase it rains.

      It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol

      Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.

      The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.

      Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.
