Trust me - its a hell of a lot more annoying when it's not you that gets a car that is isn't yours, which is needed 1000km away impounded on a public holiday.

I should write a book.

Nasty. My mate had an accident up there once, and most tow companies he called wouldnt even go out there. And those that would charged huge amounts.

I didnt know Jack at that time either :yes:

Just on this again - the police with radars were hiding in the bushes overlooking one of the few straight bits of the Black Spur. The roadblock was then a few KM down the way, in a mobile phone 'black' zone. This was so the motorbikes couldn't call or text back to their mates to turn around and skedaddle. It also meant the rozzers couldn't call me to stop my car from being incorrectly impounded. Sneaky, but clever.

No fun allowed anywhere anymore.

And for the record, the particular car in question goes from legal to speeding in about 1-sec. Bummer.

I am surprised. Im guessing its maybe from preasure from locals in the area. I had a pretty hairy experience with a local up there one time "taking things into his own hands". Long story, so maybe ill save it for another time.

    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
