Braided E85 fuel lines in
I think the standard 23 year old ones did well to last 5 years on the stuff, but when it starts dripping fuel on your garage floor and you notice elevated levels of euphoria whilst driving it's probably time to do things properly

5 years? That's decent run considering the amount of propaganda associated with e85 when it first came on market.

Yeah well, as you can see those claims were exaggerated and likely released by PR of the anti-ethanol vested interest parties...

Truth is most cars made in the 90s can handle it for many years and it's more the switching back and forth between E85 and unleaded that cracks them over time. Fuel lines should be replaced in a 20-25 year old car anyway.

Same goes for E85 compatible fuel pumps. My 040s die from use before E85 kills them.

I'm safe then for next 5 years assuming I haven't switch from dinosaur and hippy repeatedly.

Already has Walboro cos the Nismo crapped by itself during tuning.

Spent a week in Darwin... Pretty decent but a week is definitely enough

Took the bike up to winton raceway the other day, definitely a fun and challenging track on the bike.

The big left hand sweeper requires big testicles. Not sure what times we were doing as no timing on the day.

Heard NT is quite popular for Americans wanting to shoot things you can't shoot in America.
Maybe there's money to be made exporting aboriginals to america

They already have heaps of black people to shoot at and seem to do it regularly, are you sure they need aboriginals to shoot at too. I mean too much choice isn't going to make things easier.

[Leroy Peterson]

They can shoot buffalo at home, but Asian water buffalo is also on their hit list. Therefore aboriginals don't count as African Americans for the real game hunters

[Birds]

Aboriginals have their own black on black violence issues here

[Leroy Peterson]

I once chatted to a guy who worked on a commercial hunting ground (or whatever they are in NT). They burn a patch of plains a few days/weeks before a tour arrives, so that the fresh grass attracts the buffalo and makes them easier to find. "Hunting"

I've only been shooting once (those unarmed, stationary paper targets didn't stand a chance)

Would do again /10

The only reason anyone would go - free airfares & accom for the fam

Shooting targets and skeet is great fun. But you really want a variety of guns. I don't know how the old codgers do it every week with the same rifle

[UNR33L]

Shot a shotgun thing once at the clay targets was alright but can't say I'll be stopping my usual hobbies to pick it up.

I represented Melb uni in target shooting back when I was there so it's def not old codgers,

 

won a few trophies and really enjoyed it.

 

now I have more spare time hoping to get back into it.

[Leroy Peterson]

But the old codgers have their gun holder/stands setup where they just pull a trigger with the same old gun all day. How exciting

I shot some paper targets and a couple of pesky airborne clay disks. The disks are much harder to hit than the paper.
