I saw American Pie 3 yesterday and that was FUNNY! haha saw it on vcd..

you get done or just warned? haha yeah i had radar detector - saw a policeman on bike on way home ..... on Saturday the friggin barsteds drove past my car ..... and their heads nearly swivelled off their shoulders and they turned around and i thought ..... ok here we go with the yellow .... but then disappeared.

new desk is good ..... i cant be seen as much therefore hopefully forgotten about :) new chickkie aint here yet.

yeah that'll be right as soon as i can post they slap the 180 rule on!!

haha nah your good :D .... jsut you wait i'll have my revenge!! haha

Talking about blue 180 with wanker drivers :) *jk* .... on the way to work this morning there was one like Richies ..... L plates on and was heading down Graham Farmer Freeway ..... now if i remember correctly L-plate drivers arent allowed on the freeway with their girlfriends - who about 17 - instructing and he tried to race me ....... i should of let him go in the hope he got picked up by the coppers :D

I got done 100 in a 70 which is $250 and 4 points.. bummer only got 1 left now!

They were going to give a a yellow for illegal mods too but i played ignorant telling them i am from SA and that i had just bought the car after coming back from the gulf.. which is sorta the truth...

I made tandoori chicken for tea last night and i so cant wait for lunch so i can have the left overs.... Mmmmm yummy~~!!

Hey there Cam!!

Gotta make the most of your posts while the time ticks away, just makes them alot longer!!! Noe i just have to anticipate what you might write...

100 in 70 is that much? haha you didnt barter with them Richie .... i got my 110 in an 80 for 1 point ..... Bargin :) haha

i had two bottles of wine for dinner .... from memory that was it :D

I dunno what the rule is in WA for learners on the freeway but in SA they are allowed to go on and do the limit! (110 in SA)

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
