P plate Golf R gave the toot of acknowledgement after dropping behind in a rolling - is this the first non D-bag Golf owner in the history of the world?
 
 
You don't count, Hamish


Technically it's my wife's car...

God I hate the f**king thing

How long before a flight do they close check-in?
Running a bit late, had to check in via service desk, hear a call over loudspeaker for flight to melb, push through security and get to gate 5mins before the gate even opens....

45min before departure time usually.

It's the worst feeling, missed a flight once with work a while ago because I didn't check in even though I got to the airport before it had left, they gave my seat up I think from memory. Was all good in the end had a flexi ticket just got on the next one, still annoying af though 

I got to Melbourne Airport and arrived at the Check In desk 15 minutes before Check In closed for a flight to Brisbane, they told me that I may not have a seat on that flight and started calling over managers and stuff to get it sorted out.

This was for a Full Fee Business Class flight (~$800) because I had to use up a bunch of flight cancellation credit that month.

Blew my mind that they'd overbook Business Class seats. FYI, Business Class on a Domestic flight is a bloody joke :P

Used to have the dirtiest bastard of a driver when I traveled a lot for work, would make the trip to and from the airport entertaining with all his Thailand stories. The dude has a wife and 2 kids as well :\ must be one of those 'open' relationships.

Get a f**kin rip-start in thailand m8

Ended up waiting inside the plane for 20mins anyway because they couldnt locate a pilot.

he probably had explosive diarrhea 

he probably had explosive

S7 Samsung you mean?
On the flight there they said just turn off your S7 and don't charge, flight home is notify staff immediately if you know someone who has thought about owning an S7.
Bloody fear mongering is what it is.

Missed boarding for a tiger flight by 10 minutes. I had got there 45 minutes before boarding, but the flight had changed to 10 minutes earlier
than the original time.They had emailed me about the change the day before, but I didn't check my email. They wouldn't let me on the flight or refund me so I spent $400 on a qantas flight that day as I needed to get back to Perth for work. Would never use tiger again.

I was annoyed that they called boarding for a flight,

So I had to put down my Taittinger and wander up to the gate.

Surprise surprise they were not open yet.

 

Lucky there was another lounge near the gate (unfortunately business only) so I was able to relax have a drink, then jump the priority queue and be one of the first on the plane anyhow.

 

airports suck eh..

 

On a side note this is the first time I have had a hotel room with it's own sunroom overlooking the pool.

Should be nice to relax in the evening.

 

ever tried to fit your bag into the overhead locker onto a morning qantas flight.

I'm generally in the exit row so it has to go up, easier to be on first and get it sorted.

 

Or if a premium cabin, nice to get on, enjoy your hot towel and glass of bubbly as you settle in.

i never want to be the front of the queue at the gate... why would I want to be on the plane? the less time spent there, the better.

Only reason I can see is that you won't be stuck standing in the isle for 15 minutes waiting, trying to make your way down towards your seat and stow baggage.

Get on last, and good luck finding space for your 5 pairs of loafers in the overhead... You'll have to put them 5 seats down, and you just know that bogan bloke is going to scuff your sh%t up when he removes his boogie board bag.

why is it the last person on the plane also has the largest bag.

 

then stops and stares around in stupidity going what do I do now.

 

Nearly as bad as being in the FreqFlyer lane for security and they still have to rummage to the bottom of their bag for a laptop.

Haha cause clearly if this individual followed rules he would be on time with a suitably sized bag.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
