i happily pay $11 a day for parking for the convenience and to avoid public transport! only time i catch public transport is a cab, and work pays for it!

$11 is cheap for the city!

But you also have to realise I don't have a nice salary like yours.

Haha its pretty bad.. but least I don't have to pay $8 a day for parking..

$8 a day? I can only dream of that. parking in my building is $38 a day (early bird) and $56 if I don't meet the early bird requirement. that got old pretty quick...

yeah, a couple of hundred a week just for parking could be money better spent somewhere else I reckoned so now I catch the train. harbour bridge traffic in the mornings was driving me nuts too. now I just sit on the slow, stinky train and read or listen to my walkman. :) or sleep.

well laaa deee daaaahhhh!!!

lol!!! i just prefer driving!

rigghhhttt! what does that have to do with this convo? i don't spend elsewhere so i can pay for parking.. you could too i'm sure! for me a weekly ticket is $35, plus light rail $20-40, so screw that! And carrying 3 bags around.. once again, screw that! so your salary comment is totally irrelevant.. its a lifestyle choice and my lifestyle states not to park at a station, not to get up at 6:30am, not to be burdened with a zillion bags on a packed train and not to use public transport.. easy!

i used to play $25 early bird at the old building.. but that was aout 3 times a week.. i couldn't really justify it! but i was able to happily park my car at a station, and walk away.. not so easy to do now!

yikes.

at townhall it's $16 a day for early bird at st andrews car park. here at wynyard it's around the $20-26 mark for early bird. I usually drive around and have a look at the prices of different parking areas near my work. But i hardly drive to the city now so it's all good.

lol walkman

that's soooooooo 1995

LOL! a guy on the bus sitting next to me the other day had a cassette walkman. i giggled quietly.

yeah if u got heaps of shit to carry then fair enough. i couldn't really justify spending my return bus fare ($11 - or twice that amount at wynyard) + fuel cost + wearing out a car everyday to get to work. if it was free parking? hell yes i'd drive!

bus actually isn't too bad if u get used to it. there's heaps more buses and it only takes 45mins each way now thanks to the lane cove tunnel. the day i drove thru vic rd = over 1hr. screw that (even tho i MUCH prefer driving).

get a motorbike. parking is free in the city.

or is that scooters?

motorbikes are free as well i think. i've been considering this option for ages but im afraid of other cars on the road. even whilst driving a car i drive assuming every car around me will hit me.

I hate it when, you drive past a group of ppl and they go "RIP IT RIP IT.. DO A BURN OUT!! "

f**kin go get a life.. go rip yourself..

N i also hate it, when you are a set of lights, and a car full of ppl yell shit out to you..

This one time, at a set of lights(night time), with my windows up (very dark tints), i had some dickhead in the car next to me yellin race me idiot.. race me.. Even call me an idiot..

Some ppl are just asking to get hit..

I know there are heaps off cops with imports.. Im waitin for that day when they do something to them, and the guy who comes out of the import is a cop!! ohh would have loved to see that..

hhaha i get this all the time .. so the the door opens up and i get the extendable batten out..hahah should see the look on there face then and they take off...hahaha

wankers !

now ive got a new toy ... i wanna try it out and watch them curl up into a little ball when it hits them...

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
