Make sure its a proper filled out log book.

Just sayin

Bought it from the newsagent...Just been filling it in every time I drive with either 'work' or 'personal' and the kms/dates etc...that enough?

[dezz]

why would you get bored of a 250 are you really that obsessed with speed?

sure i'd prefer 600+ but it's purely for cosmetics/frame size. most 250s look meh and are small

had a close up look at a megeli 250r they are tiniy and gay wheels

and how long does it take vicroads to mail me my fkn license

Like you, it's not all about speed, but from what I'm hearing the LAMS 250's are like ridiculously slow...Might have to see if my mate will let me ride his to get the feel of it...He's trying to sell it to me but I'm not really looking to buy right now...It's a red/black 09 Ninja 250, if you're interested...

Either way I'd say that's the path I'll take, means spending less initially while still having a decent looking bike, having something to ride and gain experience on, and then move up to something bigger/better looking..

When I passed my test she said if I don't have my card mailed out in 8 weeks to give them a call to chase it up, so I'd say allow 8 weeks...You should have the piece of paper they gave you that acts as a temp license in the meantime anyway....Not that you have a bike to ride lol

hmmm well unless it takes em something like 8+ seconds to get to 100 i wouldn't call em ridiculously slow lol maybe tell your mate you're interested in it just to get a test ride out of it and see what it's like. im not a fan of kawaki...

8 weeks? we were told 4...

yeah that temp license is crap though you cant look cool flauntin a piece of paper

[dezz]

I'm lucky I just look cool naturally

These are the basic requirements:

- the date the journey began and ended

- the car's odometer readings at the start and end of the journey

- how many kilometres the car travelled on the journey

- why the journey was made (not just business/private) But a very brief explanation. I.e. business meeting with client

Cbf quoting above, but if I was actually buying a supercar I wouldn't want a 'fancy transmission'. Leave that for the soccer enthusiasts and their golf gti's.

not all gti's run the dsg box, there are some that do run a manual

and even they the dsg isnt really that fancy

Better buy one now then.

Some of them aren't even offering manual as an OPTION moving forward on current or incoming models.

It's GT-R style boxes, or no supercar for you.

It is the way of the future and for them to keep increasing the performance of the vehicles when they are stuck within emissions confines etc. Cut out shift times = win for manufacturers.

[xALmoN]

why do people hate on auto transmissions?

[.Ryan.]

Because they are boring and take away some of the feel for driving. Don't care if te car can shift faster than me I don't drag race anyway. No doubting they are amazing technology but it's just not for me.

Dont worry r31 nismoid, don't think I'll be buying a supercar anytime this lifetime haha

i see.

they are boring. oh well, i guess you haven't driven or been in a 35 then?

[.Ryan.]

Not a 35 but drove and passengered my uncles old Ferrari 599 with the paddle shift shit going on, yeah it shifts hard etc. didn't say it didn't. I said it takes some of the feel out of driving. Anyone can drive and shift well with a paddle shift g'box, but perfect shifts in a proper manual car are much harder an more fun to achieve IMO.

So what would you write when you're claiming it based on having to carry tools to and from work on a daily basis?

[blah_blah]

Must be pretty heavy tools if Dezzman considers it bulky equipment & tools

I would just write carrying of 'equipment & bulking tools'.

Also note you can only claim this if there is nowhere on site that you can safely store it.

[Birds]

lol @ bulking tools.

[alr33x]

i see.

I've been in one... Yes it was fast as! Brakes impressed me more tbh but it's just hold and and accelerate...

[blah_blah]

Bulky I mean.

But you never know. Dezz's tools could be bulking

Everyone has a key to the lock boxes so it's not considered 'secure lockup' which is why we can claim it from what everyone has told me
