RTA is still rolling out with plans for new mobile speed cams, fixed speed cams, safety cams despite Libs announcement that they're revenue raising.

Is this politic-speak for, "We need to moolah, but we have to appear to empathise with the motorist" ???

just sayin'

Lol

"We really don't want to do this"

*punches motorist in face, steals wallet*

"But you'll be glad to know we are actively opposing this sort of behavior"

I don't trust Labor or Libral, what I do trust is the Family First party, although their preferences go to Libral (which is the lesser of two evils), at least Family First actually stand up for the average Australian and keeps both of the two major parties in check as much as they can with their small numbers in parliament. They have family and Christian orientated values, but at least they don't actively exclude homosexuals, Muslims, Hindu's, law breakers, divorcees, alcoholics etc.... as being Australians like the Christian Democratic Party (CDP) does.

I used to vote for the CDP but with their 100% closed minded extremist belief that only Christians and their ways are the only way no exceptions, I thought that would actually be detrimental to the country, especially since Australia is made up of people of every race and religion and even sexual orientation despite what CDP as an individual thinks is right.

I have turned to Family First for a couple of main reasons.

1: They have Christian/Family values (values that all religions share and values that I think help society)

2: They accept everyone as being important, not just the rich elite or the Sunday Church goers unlike some other parties.

3: They are not scared to speak up in parliment when something un-just has occured to Australians (eg: the revenue raising on our roads without putting that money back into road education and improvements of roads).

And please people don't vote for the Greens, they are probably the only party more dangerous than the CDP lol :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

the thing is: we are supposed to be a secular government; ie; keep religion out of politics, it has no business in how our country is run. Look at the United States if you need proof. Labor are once again screwing our country, dropping defence in the mud to take heat off the fact our useless PM has shown that she has no clear standing on foreign policy.

but in the end one rule is needed regarding religion:

Treat your religion like your penis: Don't show it off in public and don't shove it down your children's throat.

    • Ok, so first round of maintenance done. I didn't get much history with the car but I know it was well looked after. That isn't enough for me though, so ...  I had to do the oil filter housing gasket. It was leaking a lot, and also as part of that I did the anti-return valve and the VANOS oil line (from HEL).  But, then I got hit with the while-ya-in-there's. Did both accessory and A/C belts, tensioners and pulley. The accessory belt that came off had a huge hole in it, like somebody hung it up with a nail. The pulley and tensioners seem ok, so I'll keep those just in case. I did water pump and pump pulley. The water pump had a small bit of play so timing was good.  I also did fan clutch. I don't know how to test the old one but between the water pump and the fan clutch the car is running a little bit cooler (not much ~2 - 3 degrees maybe) so good result. Unfortunately the thermostat and housing didn't turn up in time so I'll shelve those. I have no concerns at all on the current ones.  Then I spent what seemed like 40 days and 40 nights bleeding the air from the cooling system. She also got new air filter, fuel filter and did a Mobil 1 change with oil filter. Hilariously, not an hour after telling my wife how proud I was of myself to be going slowly and meticulously and making sure everything was torqued and nothing missing I went and started it without the oil filter in. The car complained immediately of no pressure and after only a few seconds I turned it off and discovered a shit tonne of oil on the driveway. Sigh. I've driven it since and thankfully doesn't seem to be any problems. AND THEN during the test drive a ratchet extension fell into the battery area in the boot and JAMMED right next to the positive terminal and the car body. Like, just touching it made sparks and it was jammed in there. So, almost killed the engine and then almost burned the car to a crisp. Good start. This was the rails under the splash guards. So stoked, she's straight as and super clean. No rust anywhere. There was a heap of caked dirt that I removed but otherwise looked great. All 4 jacking points are perfect.   Next I want to service the gearbox. Sometimes it's a little reluctant to shift up and I'm hoping a fluid change will sort it. I also have 4 new rear subframe bushes. They're as big as a toddler. I'm renting a tool to help put them in. I can't wait for this because its a bit crashy back there at the moment.  
    • Remember when those donkeys kept using freedom units and smashed that satellite to bits on the moon? NASA has their brain switched on and uses the metric system.
    • Don't use "gasless MIG" (FCAW) you want to use proper MIG. FCAW burns a few hundred degrees hotter than MIG will for mild steel. It is a true ball ache for sheet metal. New MIG / TIG machines even have features like "Spot Weld" as well as "Automatic" settings. Plenty of people say for DIY home hobby, the auto machines are pretty good for 95% of welding. I personally, I'm a sucker for punishment and wanting to dial it in, and be able to adjust the machine. Mainly because I used to MIG weld for a living, and being able to tweak and tune things ever so slightly was my preference. Hence when I bought my ACDC TIG, it has all the adjustments for everything and no "easy" mode. Ha ha I have stick, MIG, "gaslessMIG" and ACDC TIG at home. Out of them, if you're doing mild steel sheet metal repair, and want to do mild steel exhausts, go MIG. If you're thinking you'll want to get into doing some aluminium stuff, or stainless steel, get an ACDC TIG with HF start. If you can, get one with a foot pedal too. My MIG machine is a UniMIG, and my Stick/TIG is CigWeld. If I were buying another machine, I'd buy another CIGWeld. Lots of people having issues with UniMIG, and them not wanting to cover warranty. Everything has to go back to UNIMig themselves. CIGWeld, I've had to use their warranty on my machine for a gas leak, they have repair centres everywhere, (contracted authorised repair centres). First repair place I used were hopeless, but the second place were amazing. Warranty process itself super easy, and second repair place was telling me CigWeld actually cover in their warranty, upto an hour of techs time to help you with your machine, and going through the settings and helping teach you the machine. UniMIG keep trying to get out of replacing motherboards on 12 month old machines.   TLDR, mild steel sheet welding, buy a MIG. my vote is CigWeld for brand.
    • I guess that's what happens when someone can't convert metric to freedom units to machine something. 馃槢
    • I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing
