    What did you do in the shed or garage today

    And if you did weld it then it would need to be painted, then the paint wouldnt match. Seems like quite a good solution.

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

    Our driveway is the go to for anyone to do a u turn in this part of the street. As we are on the downhill side this usually results in gravel being sprayed everywhere as various vans, utes, trucks and cars try to take off.

    My HSV Clubsport

    I dont think it would be possible to flush. I would put a used lock-up TC in the same boat as fitting used brake pads but at least you can see how worn the brake pads are. What does the 3month warranty cover, just the TC or the trans that it fills with junk when it fails. Or do you have to...

    My council dump takes oil, stale fuel and coolant as well as many other household chemicals for free.

    My HSV Clubsport

    The 6l80 TC are known to wear the lookup clutches and block the pickup in the trans. If I had the trans out already a new TC would be a no brainer.

    What did you do in the shed or garage today

    Had a giant pine tree cut down during the week and access to my backyard is limited so I built a trailer for one of my toys today to make moving the limbs easier. The tree guys left most of the bits at about 2m long and spread out wherever it landed.

    What do we need to wake up to? I know a few anti vaxers that have had covid multiple times. My parents are fully up to date with their covid vax and are yet to catch it. I had my first two shots very early on and none since. I caught covid once a couple of years ago and I think I have it...

    Surely it would be quicker to get roadside assist to do it, unless they had no spare or multiple flats

    Things That Leave you Gobsmacked (In A Good Way)

    Things That Leave you Gobsmacked (In A Good Way)

    Took my kids to a mates block over the weekend. I have a car, 250cc chinese buggy and a petrol air compressor there, all have been sitting unused for a year. Put fresh fuel and battery in the buggy, little bit of aerostart and air the tyres up and off it went. Hooked up the battery in the car...

    Their customer service refused to accept that they were bound by any ACL warranty so I am going to have to take it further. Person I was dealing with knew of their ACL obligations but refused to do anything about it.

    Just because it is legal to consume doesn't mean there has to be an amount above zero in your system when driving. Alcohol is legal but if you drive a heavy vehicle the limit is zero.

    Australia Day

    Gin has become popular because it is relatively quick to produce compared to other spirits. It doesn't need to be barrelled at all, just brew some alcohol and then distil with some flavours then sell. You don't have product tied up for years in barrels. Then you pitch yourself as something...
