  1. Keith doesn't like bottles. Anyone care to guess what Keith DOES like? (Hint: Not bottles)
  2. "Hnnnnnnngggggg"
  3. Form a loop and push it through the seal (at a corner is usually easier) and pull one end through. Get someone else to hold one end, and work the string around the seal whilst putting some pressure on from the inside.
  4. I like the stickers. Makes it much easier to identify the sheep from a distance, and avoid them.
  5. I usually discard all of that garbage except one line for the dizzy vac advance. Makes the car run better, because after 30 odd years, every single one of those check valves and xmas tree fittings are invariably clogged, broken and/or faulty. But if you must...
  6. Dear god. The amount of bog and fibreglass I've shoved into these things when the metal disappeared... Mercifully, haven't touched one in over a decade. Do yourself a favour, don't take the external C pillar trim off, or the scuff plates on the door sills. Ignorance is bliss. :)
  7. Its not easy to get those bastards out... Ordinarily its a matter of prying one of the inside corners of the seal down and pushing the rest out from the inside, but most of the time the seals have gone hard with age and that doesn't work anymore. You'll probably need to replace the seal whichever way you do it. Google methods for removing a windscreen as they're very similar. Guitar strings work well. Or get one of these bad boys.
  8. Nope, they aren't. And the spring perches are in the wrong place. And the wrong size. And the panhard mount is different.
  9. How about a Skytara
  10. Not mine :P
  11. F*cking glorious
  12. I was going to post a lengthy reply, but... You're right. Its boring and I cbf. I'll let Willis do his own research. (as I have) Nutshell: Money aside, it won't achieve anything. It will be counterproductive.
  13. *cough* Must interject here. Few points on the refugee 'thing'. For the sake of convenience, I'll call these points, 'facts'. 1. They only cost so much because we keep insisting on offshore processing. 40k per head offshore, 4k onshore. 2. Genuine refugees/asylum seekers want nothing more than, and DO integrate into our society. Most find legitimate, gainful employment within months after being granted asylum, and 'pay back' the investment we as taxpayers have spent on them within a few years. The majority are completely unskilled, so are guided into training and apprenticeships, eventually learning a trade. The 'skills shortage' you keep hearing about? These people are obtaining those skills, and utilising them. 3. When I hear someone say "Spend the money on Australians instead!!!" I have to remind them that currency is a cyclical thing. Its not like it disappears completely when spent, It just moves. Out of the reserve bank, spent in Australia, buying Australian products and services from all the Australians involved with refugees. None of it goes offshore. Except... Except for Nauru. A lot of your money goes to Nauru for a little holiday before coming back. Because Nauru is a tax haven. Won't delve too deeply into that here though, other than to say there's a reason most of the steps in the refugee 'process' are handled by contracted private companies rather than government departments. Still wanna 'stop the boats'? Ok, fair enough. Can't just open the floodgates completely. We need to stop spending ʞ©$ɟtons of money dragging them out of the water and flying them to various island prisons. Its pointless. If they make it onto a boat, its too late. Welcome to Australia, eventually. Instead, spend that money sending a massive task force to Indonesia to stop the smugglers putting them ON the boats in the first place. Second rant. Welfare drug testing. Stupidest... Idea... EVER. Proof: http://www.inquisitr...ts-state-46000/
  14. That be no Nissan.... That be a KE Laser/BF 323 Ninja edit: Some of it is anyway. The rest is bog.
  15. +10 points for effort, -10 million for execution. Bloody Mexicans
  16. Not to delve too deeply, but that one is effectively a big tax deduction. It all comes back, though very indirectly.
  17. South (or central) America is looking good. No really... I could sell up half my shit and live like a king somewhere like Honduras, whilst still receiving a quite liveable 'salary' from the stuff I'd still own here. Semi-retired by 40 in the carribean? Don't mind if I do...
