Macron v Le Pen

This should be an interesting indication as to whether the world is gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda or simply rejecting the political status quo.... Particularity given the recent attacks in France

well that's essentially the first part of my point, refer "gravitating towards a sharply nationalist agenda"

Considering this is a country that's had it's fair share of terror related incidents in the last year or so, it would stand to reason that nationalism could be viewed in a more positive light by those directly or indirectly affected.  

I don't think you have to be nationalist to fear the ramifications of open border immigration from war-torn countries, even if that is traditionally a trait of nationalism; Le Pen like our Hanson could be seen as the lesser of two evils..."I don't like xenophobes and racists, but terrorists are much worse"

so speaking to someone i know who is a JP at Springvale police station... older Vietnamese man comes in and says his car has been stolen. apparently was in a minor accident, guy who he hit (not sure who was at fault) said they had no insurance but will take the car to a panel beater and get it repaired. So the man handed over his keys and the guy drove off in it never to be seen again.

It's easy to get on the *facepalm* train with this one, but man, I felt really sorry for the dude. Super friendly old man, who isnt used to dealing with the scum we come across and witness every day, and he gets reamed thinking someone was doing something out of kindness. f**k this gay earth. and the dude is probably too honest to lie about the situation to the insurance company.

f**king swindling scumbags.

fine... make it "gravitate towards political parties that use nationalism as a core theme of their political rhetoric"

But then he gets to keep the thief's car...sounds like a fair trade to me.

I like how Dell can mark-up their laptops by $1000 just because theyre in the "business" section of the website. I can seriously buy an Asus or Gigabyte laptop with better specs in every department, or a "home" Dell with the same spec for half the price. But it would be an "Inspiron" then not a "Latitude" model. bah Latitude has been using the same architecture for like 10 years.

After only 680 pages? Rookie mistake, last thread was > 2000 pages

To be fair, last thread had real estate, unions and Captain Will as topics

Think Rimon may have even been in there

Business laptops have additional features such as docking capabilities etc. (nohomo)

Just quietly...if you came into my interview with an Inspiron I wouldn't hire you no matter the specs...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
