    Things that p*** you off/bug you/annoy you

    What part of the group does OTR still own and operate? I'm aware the Perigrine group still have the bend motor sport park. But that is now sponsored by Shell, rather than OTR EDIT: If you believe google, Yasser is staying for 2 years as a consultant and wasn't the founder of OTR...His...

    If they did that, you'd complain they shut the register down so the barrister could make coffee and you'd be waiting to pay for it when the register operator returns. Oh and have you considered the person operating the register might have had to go for a piss or crap...I know when I need to, I...

    We do, but me personally I go and pay the operator...Does get annoying waiting for people because they need to scratch their balls or tits instead of paying for their purchase first

    A very unusual thing for a vet to go above and beyond like that.....Shows they actually care about their job and not the payslip at the end of the week...

    VE SV6 Hard to steer

    Looks like a recoed rack, that's not too old, judging by the sticker. Unfortunately looking at pictures doesn't always show if something is wrong.....Same applies just looking at the components Does it turn freely one direction or the other? Or is it heavy both directions? Tyre pressures...

    Not being critical....I mearly mentioned about the 3206 code being clearly visible and how I came to a conclusion I did based purely on the 3206 number. Give a damn if it's not a crow cam nor if it is a tyre....I'm using those principals as to why I came to that conclusion...That simple....But...
  17. vc commodore

    My HSV Clubsport

    I suspect it is a date code going by another cam query regarding crow cams....The G14 represents the year of manufacturer being 2014... Also dealing with tyres, the date code of manufacture is done exactly the same. I surpose I need proof of this? Another reason I suspect it being a date...
  18. vc commodore

    My HSV Clubsport

    Yeah. nah the 3206 isn't clearly visible, or the suspicion it is the date code for the cam?
  19. vc commodore

    My HSV Clubsport

    Hummm, the number 3206 is clearly visible at the top of the cam, in proper numerals, rather than the datamatrix code you're on about so much. I suspect that number refers to the date the cam was actually made
  20. vc commodore

    My HSV Clubsport

    Will stick my neck out and say, the 3206 would mean the cam was made on the 32 week of 2006 The s02 and 7134, no idea. The 3206 I'm going by a previous a previous message I had on another forum with a person that worked for crow cams to do with identifying these sorts of numbers on the back of...

    Buying unregistered interstate, am I missing anything?

    Seeing there are panel alignment issues suggests to me, it has been in an accident of some sorts.... Even sitting for months rings some alarm bells So I'd give it a big wide birth, considering you can't inspect in person and it sitting so long

    You pay for the maintenance....And to top it off, it costs the leasee more, because the lease company adds their piece on top

    It's sad them doing that. In my area, they're knocking down houses and putting 2 or more on the block... One actually subdivided their block and put a house on it...There isn't enough room to have a leak between the house and the fence line....Front yard barely fits a FG Falcon inbetween the...

    I couldn't see it being too difficult to add threaded rod in a couple of spots, either side of the bellhousing in the block to help line up the gearbox properly and bolt it in situ. I have seen some motors that have this sort of arrangement for manual gearboxes, which I find a rather good idea...

    I've heard with new surburbian house builds in my state, they have the connection for putting batteries within the garage...I've also seen batteries being put just outside the house, against the wall.

    There has to be big changes with EV's, infrastructure and pricing before they become more economical to own as a primary vehicle, as currently they're only suited to a secondary vehicle

    Isn't an EV currently a secondary vehicle, very much like a bike?

    Have posted recently about natural gas in this country being used when wind and solar can't keep up with demand due to weather conditions. Yes, alternative ways to supply electricity to power these vehicles is another thing that needs to be introduced :)

    Would be interesting how they'd go about it, for those that have their bills in 2 names.... Knowing the gov't, they'd hook both, even if only 1 worked, should it come into play
