What shits me is when people use the word "industry" to describe something like "the (horse) racing industry" or "the nightclub industry". No kunts! These are not industries. Mining, manufacturing, farming. These are industries. Any form of service? Very hard to call it an industry. A sector, or a group of enterprises, sure. But there is no industry. I don't even like the use of the word in relation to movies, TV or music. No industry there either. Just work and product, but arguably for things that are far from essential, therefore optional. They live in a section of the economy that is economically powered by actual industries.

So short people on horses can go and get fu(ked. Same with the dogs, casinos, pokies in hotels, all those miserable workers and leagues clubs in NSW and QLD (thank your imaginary sky wizard of choice that we don't have that shit over here in SA), etc etc.

Dig shit, build shit. Call in an industry. Craft shit out of recycled pubic hair, tampon strings or sampled 1970s guitar licks? GTFO. Keep horses for anything other than fat arsed bitch's recreation or mustering livestock, ditto.

Oxford dictionary agrees with your definition, but provides secondary definition, and an informal definition to also say they disagree with you. Ha ha ha

 

I myself, for the most part agree with your sentiment.

Interesting how sports always have their hands out for grants. $1M was promised to Wakie by state government (and not yet paid last I saw).

Now $9.5M being given to short people who whip horses in Goulburn....I'm really not sure why my taxes should fund stables.

Well, Wakefield had it's first meet on the new layout last weekend, for the Super Bikes round. On the off chance some people aren't Goulburn Post subscribers here is the local coverage

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
