  1. MotoGP 6am tomorrow morning (Vic time) Alarm set :D Should be a cracker year
  2. Shelf company supplier - set up companies, superannuation funds, trust deeds, business names etc
  3. Hardware from either store too (just the nicotine juice you can't buy local) Batteries, cartridges that hold the juice and the atomizers (that turn the juice to vapor) allow you to refil the units rather than dispose each time you empty one. I've suggested to BenDoCo to grab a set of Ego batteries, Cartomizers (refillable cartridge/tank and atomizer in a single unit) and some coils (replace the part in the cartomizer with a coil rather than replace the whole tank) Batteries are about $15 Cartomizers about $5 Replacement coils about $1 Juice is about $8 for a weeks supply (expect the first purchase to be around $100-$150 realistically after postage, a couple of batteries, stockpile of cartomizers and coils and a few different juices to try. After that it's just topping up supplies as needed in a way that keeps postage to a minimum) on topic: work tomorrow after a great 5 day break - probably the last break til xmas (other than public holidays)
  4. Got my first kerb rash over the weekend :'( No idea when or where - hadn't noticed it til it was pointed out to me
  5. Maybe start a new thread BenDoCo outlining your thoughts and how you went about getting the stuff (I could, but will probably miss some helpful points that you'd mention as just starting out investigating them) Could be a few people interested that would like to jump aboard or even introduce a couple to the idea that have never heard of them. Just mention a couple of the flavours and you should pique some interest ps: how many rollies today?
  6. Just need to get rid of the big magnet in the front that attracts the steering end towards railings don't I BizKets? (or is that the right foot that controls the rear end I need to change?)
  7. A few tanks worth of usage for consumption comparisons: Pretty easy to tell when I was playing, commuting or touring. The 43l fills are full tanks from empty - one of the 45l's was a fill - the other was a couple of litres top up then a 43l fill. The 13l/100kms seems pretty much around where touring will fall at best - the 11's and 12's would have been best case scenarios; around 15 for my stop start city driving - playtime will probably creep up a bit (the 17l/100kms would have had a fair bit of travelling to the curvy roads with sedate driving) All up - maybe 3l/100kms higher consumption than I was getting on 98RON - with an extra 100hp added into the mix :D Got the gas on at the right time - 4,500kms in the fortnight since I got the car back off Mick kms liters l/100km 265 43 16.22641509 300 45 15 355 45 12.67605634 128 23 17.96875 250 29 11.6 255 30 11.76470588 182 28 15.38461538 350 44 12.57142857 350 41 11.71428571 344 43 12.5 250 43 17.2 281 35 12.45551601 310 43 13.87096774 221 27 12.21719457 274 37 13.79642395 avg Costs me about 12 cents per kilometer now - on 98RON it was around 20 cents per kilometer. Car will be back to Mick shortly (is up for a service as well) for him to have a play to fine tune the gas gauge (starts on 3/4 light when full and shows empty while there's still about 1/3rd of a tank left) and for him to have a go at eeking a little more capacity out of a fill (hopefully a few more litres than the 43l it's taking now). Gas ICU played up on one occasion (that I've noticed) and ran petrol while the gas was active so he's organised a change over for that as well. Absolutely wrapped with the results the guys were able to achieve and their level of service and customer support has honestly been second to none - in any industry I've ever come across.
  8. Haha - am happy to pay for dinner twice if I'm getting some. After that I figure she's hooked and can foot the bill.
  9. I reckon the third date/meal they should be stumping for the dinner - the first 2 they can offer to split bill etc, but it's easier just to pay the bill myself. If she's decent she should offer on the third and it would be on to let her - she knows your more than happy to pay the way, but can retain her independence/dignity as well at this time, while you're still the gentleman. At no time, however should she be the one opening the door for you "You can fix up next time" is a decent way to deal with the "who pays?" question at the end of the meal and open the door to another evening - one where the question is already sorted.
  10. Did the same, then used Coles insurance $100 guarantee to bring it down to $454
  11. Ditto Velocity - hopefully they come round and work with you before much longer.
  12. Will use them next time I need bodywork while in the U.S.
  13. In 2 different necro'd 5 year old threads using 2 different single post usernames? http://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/56117-two-dents-pissed-off/?p=1461340 Was sucked in til he posted again
  14. Spamming kent from a collision repair center.
  15. Thanks again for the hospitality guys. Back home now safe and sound. Fantastic few days we spent in your state. Make sure you look me up if you're ever in my neck of the woods - otherwise I'll book you in for another cruise and meal next time I'm over.
  16. Awesome day guys. Thanks heaps for taking me and Aidan through the hills Some great roads only a few k's from the CBD. Even got to try some decent S.A. beer
  17. I organised to have the roads rinsed for our cruise later in the day.
  18. Directly across from Enigma
  19. Should have checked which end of Hindley St the hotel was before I booked it. Heaps of boobies near me
  20. Shhh - I'm am telling Aidan's mum I'm taking him to visit the churches, not the sex shops
  21. Anyone is more than welcome to join us for dinner too - if they can't pull a sickie for the cruise. Best Mexican I've ever had - really hope it's not one of those nights where it doesn't live up to past efforts. First part of the leg is done - work finished, drove to the sons house. 1,000kms tomorrow and we'll be in the City of Churches
  22. How high is the bumper in that shot? Numberplate reflecting off the spolier?
  23. Will do Should chuck my car on a dyno while over there to crack the 400rwkw
  24. Does it continue with light application of the brakes?
  25. Good idea guys. Last day today until next week - taking a holiday/cruise over to Adelaide
