Good info Luke, thanks for that.

Anyone got any good ones around Liverpool/Campbelltown (i.e. SW Sydney)? I've heard good things about Bridgestone in Liverpool, but never went there (yet). Apparently Jax Liverpool is pretty decent, but they had no interest in my requested settings when I went for an alignment, and just set toe to whatever (i.e. production line-spec in/out alignments).

Bridgestone Liverpool have been good with my Lancer :) (no idea about good cars).

Had a bit of a meh experience with another place a bit further east up Newbridge Rd... (not naming names but if you're from the area you can probably work it out)

This is confusing. Why did he just assume you we're going to give him your 2 of your enkeis?

Because I'm Asian I presume.

Three other Asian couples were there and a couple were charged $20 more for the same type of job than their (same race) mates.

The last two Enkeis I assume he thought I might forget to take them. And they were the best condition ones.

I'm also of the opinion that he had a mate who was short of a Nissan hexagonal wheel cap.

I asked the owner of JLM today if people of such a race take advantage of Asians > the answer is one I cannot say here.

I think it's more a personality issue than a racial issue.

Arseholes are arseholes no matter what colour their skin, or where they come from unfortunately.

At least you are an unusually observant person, and noticed the cap was missing before they shovelled you out the door; and it was too late.

Agreed, though it is interesting how some races have a higher percentage of arrogant ignorant inconsiderant self centered egotistical elitist arseholes who think they are better then every one else that isnt the same race as them for no apperant reason then other races do :D

Well I thought that $100 for my job was a bit over the top. And it had to be cash.

I can't say though what they were snig- gering about in reference to an Asian couple or the job on their Honda. Body language was all I could rely on between rattle gun bursts. Didn't sound personable.

That's fuarked... I personally just go to Taleb tyres and they're pretty good to me (also Asian).. however I'm not your typical small framed Asian and sound like a lebo half the time (grew up with them in Fairfield) so that possibly helps them behave.

They let me walk up to my car and inspect on what they were doing... so thumbs up to them

Yes thank you Anthony, Dale Nick and others...

Even at my age I'm willing to take people at face value, but when things start to unravel, heightened vigilance goes through the roof.

    • Corvette thread then? Don't say I didn't predict the future again. "I love the little MX5, I do, but I just want something a little easier to get in/out of, a little more cushy and some power would be nice - I miss the V8 Rumble... I found this clean red C5 for sale recently and..." Please just buy my car. You can fit people in it too.
    • What about renewable diesel and/or gasoline? I see some projects spinning up like de-oxygenating ethanol to make drop-in compatible bio-gasoline especially in CA. I still think the future is EVs and we should've all gone full throttle on nuclear power after the 1973 oil crisis like France. Despite 15 years of work in CA to reduce the CO2 intensity of generation with renewables our electric grid is still far worse than even "low carbon" nuclear power. ICE is pretty cool when you aren't depending on the stupid thing to be practical and reliable and cheap as possible to get you to work every day. It's kind of like mechanical watches or vacuum tube amps.
    • I just rolled over "my" first 10k km in the MX5 Every time I go anywhere it always ends up in a adventure to look at houses and find some random country roads I've been on leave since early November but unfortunately need to go back to work on 19 January Luckily though I still have a fair chunk of leave left to burn until.... Not that I'm counting 😁
