Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Sorry, up the road towards city. Units next to the servo (used to be BP?) and Dominos (possibly still there???)

Right near where that mechanic crashed the customers porsche and died couple of years back.

Ahh i see, its a 7/11 servo now and dominos is still there, that's pretty close to my place.

The Breeze is good down there, we go to the park to do our work outs by the river, great spot for it.

Everyone thought it would never flood again I think!

Well if they didn't use wivenhoe as water storage we wouldn't have had the problem in the first place :/

Well it is designed with both storage (46% of capacity) and flood mitigation in mind (54%) and is only designed to reduce peak height by a meter, it achieved this in 2011. It was peoples expectations that failed rather than the dam! Most of the water came out of the Lockyer anyway which joins the Brisbane River below the dam, it was all just a series or really unfortunate events.

Yeah I guess. Then started the blame game :/

Yeah, the flood commission was a total joke with the finger pointing, some of my measurments got submitted as evidence to that, had to go and sit there for a day, terrible waste of everyone's time!

Such a fun job :P Do you often get questioned regarding the validity of the data you provide?

Always

Yeah although it's not the best image to have the exec arguing publicly like that :P

Just start a little earlier ;) by the time we get there only the crying is left

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
