  1. Politics and religion - 2 topics that always lead to healthy forum discussions
  2. Absolute *beep* of a day. Client A - never uses our forms/sheets to place his orders, but gives all instructions verbally (to avoid anything pointing back at him) Had to fix up the job (is over a month old) for the 4th time due to client changing their mind and because the instructions were given verbally. Of course it's all our fault. "We need it in 2 hours (50km's away) - you'll need to get a courier" Client B - we did some dogdy, documentation for them 4 years ago (all above board, just something neither we nor him wanted any record of. Was delivered on an "as is" basis with no comeback). Not even something we could charge for. Today, urgently, he needs the work repeated for another client of his. Neither of us are sure what the actual work done was, but it needs to be replicated. Client C - emails me with a new order - "is this name available?" "No" I email back "Hang on, I'll ask the client for another name" "is this name available?" "No" I email back "Hang on, I'll ask the client for another name" "is this name available?" "No" I email back "Hang on, I'll ask the client for another name" We're up to name choice #6 now Client D - "The order we put through yesterday and received this morning... We left some details off it....." Client E - "Can you forward me these documents?" - I resend the emails I sent 2 and 3 months ago which contained the documents. Bank - Farkers put in a new flash cheque deposit machine out the front, cut down on tellers and get sh*tty when you take cheques to the counter instead of using the machine. 10 mins in line at the machine and it refuses to take one of my cheques. Queue to the tellers is about 12 people deep (and only 2 tellers on) so I decided to use the quick deposit envelope/bin. No envelopes - go and ask for one No pens - go and ask for one While filling out the envelope the bloody cheque falls into the deposit slot. - go and find someone with a key to get my cheque out for me. Post Office: 10 mins in line to collect a parcel that a card was dropped into my letterbox this morning for (even though I was home at the time). Was for a parcel that I'd collected 2 days ago - from a totally different post office - after requesting a trace being put on it. Not to mention - every bloody thing is ultra urgent and important to everyone at the moment - tax time closing off, everything needs to have been done yesterday.
  3. Don't flinch at my owns crap - anyone elses though and it's the most putrid thing ever
  4. Lol - not wrong there - have had to pick up the slack for a few "real men"
  5. Can you say "jackknife"? Better back it up for him too.
  6. Excellent writeups How much loose change did you recover?
  7. Wet track rather than wet road, wet grip rather than aquaplaning over puddles maybe?
  8. Nah, the Conti's get great reviews eveywhere
  9. I found the factory ones "acceptable" until I modded. Factory brakes - not so much
  10. I did 2 8m skips over the Xmas break - still got heaps of crap lying around :S
  11. Cheers guys Think the Goodyear wins for better wet grip - it is a daily afterall
  12. Hey guys, Am thinking of grabbing a set of Michellin PSS's 245/35/19's to replace my Innvo's (tax time - better to buy now than in another month) Any thoughts on these?
  13. Was about to send out a search party for Corzza, but it looks like we can relax now
  14. Am tipping there's a backstory to the pic?
  15. What area are you in - am sure there'll be a couple we can point you towards that have a good reputation. Working out a plan of attack together with the tuner of choice makes things a lot more comfortable. I'd probably look at a service and going over of the car by the tuner as a first step - would let them work out any niggles or items that need replacing before adding any power into the mix.
  16. The units don't come with "generic" tunes - they come blank The are some who sell generic tunes online, but the overwhelming response from here will be NOT to use one. The Falcons are not real good for "almost there" type of tunes - individual cars can vary greatly with what's "safe" and the risk is there of some serious damage. There are some cars that do work well with off the shelf tunes/chips/flashes - their ECU's etc can adjust/cope with variables - the Falcon isn't one of those. Dyno time and a component tuner is really the only way you're likely to get suggestions from around these parts. Even more so given the cars age (and kms?) - a decent shop will be able ti identify (and rectify or work around) any issues with the engine that an off the shelf tune can't take into account.
  17. Bloody hell Don - talk about choice. Will work out a shopping list before I look on that site again - will end up with a container load otherwise
  18. Cheers Was it one of their mounts that came unstuck at Calder or the GoPro brand one?
  19. Will still show the codes. The xCal will read them for you
  20. Sorry, I meant the settings on the camera - wide angle, spot meter, pro drive etc Even after reading the manual etc I usually stuff things like those up and get lost in the spaghetti of on screen menu's
  21. Picked one up today (got a "today only" voucher from JB HiFi this morning) so finally stopped putting it off. They were out of mounts, so will still need to source some of those. Has anyone got any suggestions for the settings? Or just power it up and hit record?
  22. All good - can always charge, can't always retrieve the files
