wtf? jealous of being hopeless?

Yeh money'd be good, but not everyone has that option. Again, i'm one of those kids that never got anything, because my parents spent all their time putting me through music lessons to 'better my future'.

I left home, did the whole lived-on-rice-and-beans thing for about 18 months while I was earning $17K a year. Finally left that job and got a better one and started to buy stuff for myself. I own everything in my unit now.

Andrew, on the other hand, is one of those lucky ones. His grandad was one of the first orange farmers in qld, and as a result, a millionaire. He provided houses, shares and education grants for all of his children, grand children and great grand children. Thanks to his grandad, andrew now owns 2 cars, and still has a massive wad of money to buy a house soon, and his children are going to be lucky, and get a very good education.

You see the difference? I don't hate people because they have money. I respect people for different reasons. Some people that have money, you'd never know it, because they don't feel the need to talk about it constantly.

Yeah like me for example. I have money.

Like the other day, I was paying for a tank of fuel at the servo, and saw an iced coffee. Not a small one mind you, a 600ml carton. I looked at it and thought "hell, why not?". I threw that $2.50 on the counter like it was nothing. I could've bought a newspaper too, but didn't want to flaunt my incredible wealth in front of the commoners.

:P oh dear, brothers friends just left rubber all over our street infront of nieghbours :) my brother is going to get owned lol

dude r u sure he's really ur brother and not some kid from 'ipswich', caus u keep tellin us how much of a 'bogan' he is :)

Bah...you flogged that $2.50 from the tardis...it wasn't yours anyway :)

Hey John, I just read your times at Willowbank. Aren't they a little slow for the speed achieved?? I mean, I got a 13.7 @ 100.89MPH. Just wondering if you fluffed the start or got wheel spin??

that's f*kn funny marc, I like it.

And I don't doubt you have hopes Bryn, but if you read back over what you've said this past year, you'll understand why some of us deem you hopeless... it's got nothing to do with ambitions or dreams or knowledge. It's about how you portray yourself.

I am going to study next year, I am very excited. I am going to be poor as f**k, because my parents don't have money to put me through it, so it's all on my shoulders. But you know what? I don't care. I'm stoked to be learning. Cos at the end of it, i'll be earning a hell of a lot more, and be able to do things i've only ever dreamed of.

gettin new tyres next wknd. would this wknd, but wont be in town.

i have hopes :( bit harsh calling me hopeless

hopeless with cars u r :)...good ur havin a crack though :)

i was flamin useless and didnt have a clue until i got stuck in and pulled things about, and tried to put them back together...its funny how theres always a few bolts left over at the end though :)

10mins and i'm outta here

woohooooo

i got another hour or so, didnt get in til 10:30, i swear it was the traffic!...down at wynnum :P

Often...there will be others my friend ;)

ooo so who u got ur eye on karen?

Bah...you flogged that $2.50 from the tardis...it wasn't yours anyway :)

No way. That was from my stash.

But just to show how considerate I am, I could have bought that newspaper, and a spare iced coffee (yes, a spare... I can afford to indulge) AND turned up in the Cressida, but didn't want to offend the yokels. That would have been over FIVE BUCKS, in ONE HIT.

Anyway that'll do for now, everyone is no doubt in awe of my wealth. Time to jump in the car and pick up Karen. And who knows, I might just get that newspaper...

    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
