Perhaps if they weren't blocked at every turn it would be a different story

in fairness, their utes/trucks store their work-gear & tools for the job. They cant be parking 500m down the road & running back/forth for tools etc

Their car is their tool; the location of your car whilst working at your office wont impact you other than arriving/leaving times.

I'll agree on that to a point. But plenty of people use a car to fulfill their work obligations and they don't get special treatment

Nope.

Plenty of jobs have "carry stuff" requirements

The utes/trucks may be used as a mobile workstation for welding/cutting/fabrication along with storage of tools.

Yes, people may use cars to fulfil their work obligations, but if it involves anything more than the above then they should also get a permit.

everoyne would expect to see an LS1 under there.

NOTA33 would be more entertaining. wish Tony could sport NOTGTR.

you should let the engine do all the work and get T51 just for the street cred and to have a chance of being photo'd when near a 34GTR

an electrician with a victorian licence cant do electrical work in WA or QLD without going through their hoops and licensing process.

I highly doubt foreign electricians to be granted work visas and to just magically get jobs (legally) when:

a) there is a work shortage with many in the electrical industry looking for work

b) immigration has tightened up like a ducks butt since 2011-2012

c) the companies with the power/cash to do 451 visas would most likely not risk hiring people with questionable skills and knowledge. (especially blue collar workers)

regarding unsafe cabling and installs in houses... home owners agree to it because they dont want to pay the extra for a proper job. someone beats a quote by a few thousand dollars and most people dont think twice about it.

Who do you think you are telling these experts what's what?

Q&A doing its usual close ups of audience hipsters with ironic beards and intense looks of concern on their faces

How much more is my mocha chai latte going to cost if this new tax comes in?

God these rainbow display pictures are annoying, yes I support gay marriage - no I'm not a sheep..

could be a potential facebook book experiment, monitoring how peoples views change based on their friends & how long the change lasts.

    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
    • Oh and I lost my headlight washer jet cover!
    • Ok, so I got myself some X1 wheels really cheap to try out, they're a bit different and I like them but they're really narrow (18x8) they are available in staggered 18x8/9 also but really hard to find.  I kinda dig them, but not as much as the F10 19's I usually run, so these go into the wheel pile.         As I mentioned in another thread, I got a new exhaust. It's an off-the-shelf stainless one that fits OH-KAY. I don't love the tips size and how far they come out the back, I think I might cut the tips off and replace with some smaller (~3") ones that don't extend as far. It sounds really good though, I'm not sure if its just in my head but the car feels a little quicker, more responsive.      I fitted an eBay special front lip. Surprisingly it fit perfectly and all holes lined up. Its a little rickety but I haven't put any double sided tape on yet, I want to clean the front bar up where it has scraped the road a lot and fil in the number plate holes (or, get body coloured wrap to cover them - is this a thing?  I'm not sure if I'll leave it gloss or pain it matte. I really like it though, I don't particularly like the front bar without it, I don't really like the M-Sport and to get anything else is just too expensive. That said, I might need a new one now anyway as I dropped the car onto the jack after forgetting to put ramps under the front wheels. It bent a lot and while it did go back to normal after I got the car off the jack, I do fear I have not done it any favours.    Lastly, my headlights died. Different problems in each. They have gotten much dimmer over the past year or so, I put new (uber expensive) OSRAM bulbs in them but to no avail. One of them pointed at the ground and the other just kinda did its own thing with light working sometimes. Yeah, check this 18 year old BMW headlight wire. I reckon I know why they were stuffed.            BTW, the yellow and black is the power to the Xenons. Yikes. I hunted around an researched my options here. I would have loved to just get a replacement harness but not a thing. My car has adaptive headlights, that is they rotate left and right with the steering wheel. Good condition used adaptive xenons were over $700 each, non adaptive were around $400 each, but I couldn't help but think that they're all around 18 years old now, surely they'd have the same problems. So I looked at newer LCI headlights but they were even more expensive and I couldn't confirm that they'd be plug and play with lots of people having lots of opinions so not worth the risk.  I ended up getting brand new Chinese headlights from MARS. They're very close to OEM with only the angel eyes being a bit different. I didnt want crazy turn signals or sharp DRL's or anything. Not my bag.  They're not adaptive, I thought thats a feature I wouldn't really miss. So I coded that out.  The lights are awesome, they look so nice and they take so many years off the car. The angel eyes look great and the headlight brightness is ridiculous. I was so used to the old ones, I didn't realise just how bad they were. The new ones use the OEM bulbs, Xenon ballast and leveller motor which I was happier with. The only issue with them is that the rear cover is held on by SEVEN screws. This will be a nightmare to get to and open when I need to change bulbs.
