stick their fingers in their ears and ignore it. Plus rely on safety in numbers as there's too many people to prosecute.

honestly I think its a good idea, I find the way the taxi industry is reacting to it hilarious.

Well by the looks of the screening process they've met the industry requirements. I can't find any media "proof", but then again, the media don't want to tell any stories that don't create confusion or frustration... so it's likely happened and just slipped through.

They're still running intake days at Toowong Bowls Club 3 nights a week, so can't have been banned. Cops would just wait out front arresting everyone who signs up. lol

Lulz alright... To do this properly you need a bucking bull, lots of cocktails, shots, capguns, cowgirl outfits with press button shirts, a lesbian and a large sum of money...

*facepalm* did you even read my post? There is a seal in the rear knuckle that is wise to replace while doing the wheel bearings, that's why i gave you a nissan part number, so you can buy 2 of them.

doing checks etc doesnt mean anything if you don't have a taxi licence. Now, the way the gov limits those etc is the stupid thing.

there's nothing illegal about going to a seminar, that's why the cops don't arrest people there. As you'd need a new PayPal account each time I think I can guess why the cops haven't just kept calling uber drivers and ticketed them, for now. Maybe they'll have an operation/crackdown at some point in the future.

end result: you legally could get a 4 figure fine, but it's not likely at the moment.

Nah, you need to get a QLD GOV approved Driver Authorisation, sit medicals, etc. Same process as a taxi driver. Everything is by the books now. Lots of Uber drivers have been taken off the road in Brisbane which is why it's now prime real estate for anyone wanting to make some extra dosh.

Only once you've done all that can you go to their sign up and get registered with them.

I understand everyone's speculation, but from everything I've read up on they've done everything by the books. Not banned in QLD anymore. Any driver without the gov auth gets suspended from their Uber driver account. It's a simple system.

The PayPal thing is a misunderstanding as well. Uber doesn't pay to your account immediately. They take the money, take their 20% cut, and every Monday at 4am you get paid your weekly total.

2 hours really isn't enough

Nope, had a scare last night because my cousin rolled her car avoiding some dick that cut her off on one of the main roads in Canberra so I was stressed out to the max, Zane wasn't home then I knew I had to be up super early so just couldn't sleep :unsure:

Vodka was tasty, it was mostly vodka, partially orange juice... I didn't have too much because had to drive to babysit at stupid o'clock this morning... Would have preferred a lot more!

    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
