Our last trip to Fraser I had all three AGM’s in the camper fail simultaneously. Thankfully I had thrown the little Hail Mary genny in ‘just in case’. It saved our trip. It’s a 1000w eBay special (gentrax) and it doesn’t have to raise the revs much over the ECO amount to run a 25a charger. The...

Hilux doesn’t have electric steering so the lane assist works by braking a single front wheel. It is a bastard of a system. Luckily there is a button to override it.

You learn to drive around the driver assist features or adjust them to suit you. Both our cars have ‘radar’ cruise and the full suite of driver assist. They are both very conservative when driving into the sun, in light rain etc etc and will disable all the systems if they aren’t fully...

I like it both ways…….. but I’m sarcastic so I expect some laughing emojis in return or I haven’t been sarcastic enough.

Wow, maybe if bats on sticks didn’t taste like KFC……..what a ridiculous statement. We are nearly at 85% vax, no thanks to people like you. Your chance to get as much covid as you like is coming very soon - be patient while the rest of us facilitate it for you.

Okay im going to drop this here but my question is a little broader than suspension. the only non negotiable above is white marine grease on the Yamaha (yamalube if you like throwing money away at boat shops, or any equivalent from the auto shop). It also happens to be fine for bearings...

You know its bad when you have to engage the 'safety thumb' on the top of the stubby haha - too many years crawling around landcruiser park.

Different conversation. I specifically stated that the silent majority had the right 'to protect themselves against' ....... I.E. someone is choosing to harbour a potential threat to the rest of us and release it upon us when daily it is becoming undeniable that there is one clear way forward...

In modern vehicles with ABS and traction control it isn't so important anymore, but in cars like yours the rule is to never ever use the brakes down hill or exactly what happened to you, will happen. Engine braking only, using either low or high range. If it super slippery, sometimes low range...

You’re telling the story. Going by the stats it is MOST likely that they would have both tested and showed a false negative, but say it any way you want, that is what stats are for - manipulating. https://www.cochrane.org/CD013705/INFECTN_how-accurate-are-rapid-tests-diagnosing-covid-19

Saw one yesterday driving around springwood. The white fence paint right across the grille badge might have worked for the 'throwback' FJ Cruisers, but on a Sahara it looks about as right as a sawn off stormwater downpipe snorkel. The only thing I can think of is that the marketing department is...

Yep, all for freedom of choice. I'm also strongly aware that the silent majority has the right to protect themselves from antivaxers, and the ramifications of their choices should it all go South. Freedom of choice does not mean freedom of access, and if you choose not to vax, you do not have...

Sorry, it’s worse than that - “rapid antigen tests showed positive 72% of confirmed cases showing symptoms and 58% of cases not showing symptoms.” Not a silver bullet. The guys at Drifta who have issues with the NSW govt policy have taken it upon themselves to provide rapid testing in the...

The most popular rapid test kit in use overseas was developed in Melbourne iirc. Their accuracy is down around 85% odd. Good for creating trend data over time, not so good for reliable outcomes in the short term.

The bells, the bells..........LMAO as i sit here licking my eyeball :p
