  1. lol this was called well in advanced. hopefully at least made profit on it
  2. was supposed to grab one the other night but forgot... any chance someone could bring some down to next monthly meet?
  3. twas me. wheres my credit dammit. maybe i should charge $150 for an opinion on used cars...
  4. whoop whoop should never trust a whore trailer. it's always gonna be a POS that everyone brakes and no one fixes unless they have no other choice

  6. lol, this guy.
  7. Jeezus christ. And the mrs wants a polo...
  8. i know, but brand new A5... everyone here gets their dick wet when talking about the S5 and RS5, but alex probably lost out on a lot of money on re-sale...
  9. dude... elaborate please. dis is need to know stuff. spotted number plate on Eastlink the other day: BLURST. i genuinely laughed to myself most of the way home.
  10. i'd like to see what other flex fuel meters offer... not bagging the product being used, but when he said they all function the same, i would be very cautious of trusting anything any of them would display. especially if you're on a flex tune. there would be a massive market for a programmable display that could give more accurate and reliable readings of petrol/ethanol %.
  11. dirt bike on finance? sounds like a real winner
  12. yeah. thats why i use 98 from one chain of petrol stations. im glad E85 is regulated (from Nov 2012) but when United are only supposed to tell you the ethanol content, i was surprised that United wont tell you the RON rating. and when the ethanol content is down to 70% during winter months, I wonder what the RON would be then? for safety you would want a flex fuel meter guiding the ECU to make sure the mixtures are consistent with the fuel (at least i would anyway) im not bagging the fuel, just playing devils advocate because its not for everyones budget or application.
  13. lol. not many benefits were mentioned that aren't commonly known, but it was good to know whats involved for piece of mind. to summarise, you could say the evening focused on: - things to do or at least keep in mind when converting - things to keep in mind when running (and buying E85) - things to do to maintain your car when running E85
  14. Some place in bayswater gives sau discounts still
  15. For me and my application....No. But its pretty cool.
  16. yeah thats cause those people work 7-3:30 we have a saying in our "trade" that you can make a lot more money doing a lot less. I look at people like safety inspectors, auditors, some careers that "engineers" pursue, even top level management where all they do is meetings to discuss changes that need to be made or financial summarys and do a presentation on what their personal assistant came up with (im serious).
  17. was very informative. helped me come to a conclusion on whether it was worth changing.
  18. watched 2 latest MCM eps. pretty good. seem to gloss over a lot of the details and tricky bits though lol im sure Miguel has been watching these at home, having a bat.
  19. have you considered instrumentation? its next one up from test & tag. calibration of meters and equipment. one hazard i can think of with electrical is obviously working in a hazardous environment. however calibration etc is mostly done in labs and controlled environments. some roles dont need electronics experience (some do) but its a goal from a test & tag background and most of the time you dont need to be an A-grade qualified electrician to do it.
  20. Would you prefer automotive work or electrical work? Maybe local/small business might be interested in part time to learn skills with the possibility of full-time?
  21. I would just throw panadol at him
  22. even reading that got the song stuck in my head for 3 days. farkin hate that song and that band
  23. start business is risky. what are your options?
  24. sorry, turn 1. thought it was near the jim beam gate... thing
