Ever wondered where the photos of the cars on prestigemotorsport.com.au and some on j-spec.com.au are taken?

You know, the ones all with the same suspension bridge in the background...

Well I did, so I went looking on google earth. and I found it.

Car Pics (link to google earth placemark)

Have a look around, you can see all the landmarks that are in the background of pics like these ones

Have a bit of an explore of the port of Nagoya. See how many thousands of cars there are in the yards there!!

uni student? :starwars:

Who me?

Farkoff, I work for a living.

It wasn't that hard to find, just look for that very distinctive bridge at a major Japanese port. I got it third time lucky. Not f*kuoka, not Osaka, bingo for Nagoya.

Found the big bridge and then matched up the two barges across the channel from where most of the cars are photographed and then some of the other bridges, buildings and other details. Too easy.

Perhaps I should work for ASIO...

p.s. anyone else having problems getting onto prestigemotorsports website? I'm just getting error messages.

HAHAHA that's really funny, the thought police module of the forum won't let me type F-u-k-u-o-k-a. It thinks it's a rude word like Fu(k. ;)

settle down mate, it was just a joke, hence the -> :)

man...

as the guy said above, it was just a hint to "time on your hands" - hence, uni student...

:D

sorry, no offence taken dude.

Looking at some other pics on geoff's site, you can see that bridge in the background of a photo of a "Car Auction holding yard". bridge in background

I am guessing that this buyer (my money is on Mark Hocking) buys the cars, drives them a couple of k's down the road, "snap'snap" and then stashes them in a rented corner of lock-up yard to wait for one of us to buy them.

not that there's anything wrong with that...

hey not bad :)

Now.. what am I wearing? :D

Like I said, angle too high, can't see in window....

Amazing what you can do with just a person's name from the copyright tag on their website, www.whitepages.com.au and google earth isn't it?

scary technology..............

Hope this is all taken in fun, and if I got it right and you don't like the info being "out there" I will edit/delete any incriminating evidence.

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
