Hey RC, I'm looking to buy a trolley jack. Can someone recommend a brand and a place to buy them in Brisbane? Criteria: - preferable not Chinese (providing I can afford it) - as low and as long as possible - less than $400 - I'd like to last more than 5 years Some things I'd like to hear your opinions on: - is it worth it to buy a rebuildable trolley jack? Or should I just settle for a "replace it when it fails" job like what you get from Supercheap/Autobahn/Repco/Tradetools. I would be happy with a Tradetools jack but they aren't rebuildable according to the staff there - alloy vs steel - life expectancy from a cheapo trolley jack/non-rebuildable trolley jack - does anyone own a Tradequip jack? If so what do you think of it? I'm interested in these because I can order then through work for a fairly discounted price Some of the brands I've heard good things about are Omega/Arcon/Armstrong/Liftech but I cannot find a place that sells them in Brisbane. Something like this would be ideal: Any advice would be great.

Hi guys, Hoping this is the right place to post this. I'm 22 and looking at buying my own car (currently share a holden cruze with my brother - absolute balls). I stumbled across a 1975 ke35 on carsales, and I really like her. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Toyota-Corolla-1975/SSE-AD-3056539/?Cr=6&sdmvc=1 I've contacted the seller and organised to go see it with a family friend who used to collect and work on classics. My question is how much a car like this is going to cost me in upkeep. It'd be my daily runabout and transport to and from work, so I'd be looking to maintain it accordingly. (No major mods, just keeping her running nicely) I've got advice from the rollaclub fb page reassuring me parts are pretty easy to source and cheap. Is that your experience? How often do you need to put yours in for a service/average cost? How reliable would you say they are? Many thanks, Jess :)

Hey there guys, I'm very close to getting my P's and am looking to buy a first car, my budget is 3 grand and i just love the look of ke30's and want to get one as my daily but also be a bit of a project. My parents arent very keen on the idea of my first car being so old because 'anything can go wrong' I was wonder your guys opinion if a ke30 is a good choice for a first car/how reliable they are. If you don't agree with this being my first car list some ideas would be great, Thanks guys
