Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Sorry, up the road towards city. Units next to the servo (used to be BP?) and Dominos (possibly still there???)

Right near where that mechanic crashed the customers porsche and died couple of years back.

Ahh i see, its a 7/11 servo now and dominos is still there, that's pretty close to my place.

The Breeze is good down there, we go to the park to do our work outs by the river, great spot for it.

Everyone thought it would never flood again I think!

Well if they didn't use wivenhoe as water storage we wouldn't have had the problem in the first place :/

Well it is designed with both storage (46% of capacity) and flood mitigation in mind (54%) and is only designed to reduce peak height by a meter, it achieved this in 2011. It was peoples expectations that failed rather than the dam! Most of the water came out of the Lockyer anyway which joins the Brisbane River below the dam, it was all just a series or really unfortunate events.

Yeah I guess. Then started the blame game :/

Yeah, the flood commission was a total joke with the finger pointing, some of my measurments got submitted as evidence to that, had to go and sit there for a day, terrible waste of everyone's time!

Such a fun job :P Do you often get questioned regarding the validity of the data you provide?

Always

Yeah although it's not the best image to have the exec arguing publicly like that :P

Just start a little earlier ;) by the time we get there only the crying is left

    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
    • Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
    • if need be I guess I will, yeah. Just to be clear, it's okay to use the sill area around the jacking points for loading, meaning the actual pinch weld or jacking point just sits in the slot without taking on any weight?
