Not cheap but your car won't get nicked and it's close to the track for that potential walk back...

Sandown I've got no idea because it's only  few suburbs away from me... Unfortunately it's also right next door to Springvale and Dandenong which aren't the friendliest suburbs to leave a car overnight on a Friday/Saturday.

For Philip Island I have stayed a few times at Ramada Resort which is halfway between the Track and Cowes, right in the middle of the island.

Yo Martin, so had a flight booked with Qantas domestic, got a message saying I could checkin as it was 12 hours or so before my flight. Then got another message saying my flight has been changed and need to go to the website to see the changes. Go online and see that my 10am flight is now a 11:40 flight and that there are no longer flights in a 2hr window between 9-11am. Is this something that happens regularly, without explanation?

This has happened to me with a couple of 6am flights to Sydney or Brisbane (i can't remember which city it was). 

It doesn't happen often to me (twice now in my work life). It normally is caused by one of two things, delays caused by traffic/weather/maintenance or they have a need for a different plane in the location you are flying to.

I've not had my flights moved as far as yours though.Mine are normally shifted by 30 minutes or so.

Kinda surprised at the bounce-back. Had a sell order at 4c two weeks ago and decided to pull it... Oh well.
News is pretty terrible but I'll wait for some educated Hot Copper poster to tell me how the info is a minor setback and that there is still faith.
(if my flight was on time I would have seen the announcement and sold probs 50% of my holding)

Bit of a bloodbath, but the price isn't any worse than it was before the announcement ramp up.

Have only had a skim of the announcement, but so far looks only slightly positive erring on the side of inconclusive, when market was expecting mega positive.

Early days of analysis still but I don't see any positive info thus far.
Large pressure drop in a short time frame, reduction in choke to maintain pressure, only ~18% of fraction fluid recovered, no notable hydrocarbons detected, was supposed to start on the 28th but didnt start till the 31st etc.
I'm wondering if/when they will use an artificial lifting method.

you get that when there bad weather at a airport somewhere else, as the planes bounce between, so if Bris has bad weather then it screws with Melb flights.

and lounge grog does not open up till 12 so screwed either way.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
