Thanks.
Black grill will come in time if I dont do an update nose cone which is what I really want.
Like one off a Grand model? chroming it would look nice too.

Sorry the 97-01 facelift model is refered to as the XJ update around the Jeep circles. I think its a much nicer front end.

That with clear indicators is what I will do eventually. Will probably replicate the grill blackouts on mine soon for the time being.

Mine again for comparison.

Just had my license renewed in Tassie for five years. $52.50 per head, so I was up for $105.

Collins class submarines are world class conventional submarines. Very hard to find. Much easier to find a nuclear boat or a regional submarine than a Collins class.

Nuclear submarines make lots and lots of noise, even when stopped. Diesel electrics don't.

Back in the 80's they did a test with the American nuke subs and how far they could pick them up......it seems that they are noisey little devils ....when it was leaving Sydney Harbour it was picked up in Melbourne and Adelaide....might need something like the Red October........

+ We can renew our licenses on line.
- Bit more than $35 though.
+ They last 5 years.

Ours are also five years (can't believe I've been legally driving for 5 years

), but it's a pain to have it renewed

Also we don't have the luxury of doing it online. Physical queues are the way forward (sic) in Africa

It also looks like it's hair season around here

Tim, your Jeep looks good! I wish I had the time to tackle a project like that

Just had to renew my licence and the wife's licence in Qld ( both due the same time ) $160 each for five years.

Is that a + or a - ?

$320 for five years for the both of us I think is bit steep, ( that is a - ) also could not renew on line as we now have a new type licence with a chip implanted but can next time. At my age being able to get the licence for five years instead of ten is a +

Wow what a read. He sure liked doing things his own way. Not surprised it flopped, too many unconventional ideas in one package and rushed.

What are your temps like? As it is weekend we have rain..so much for washing my car. But at least it isn't -3*C like it was on Tuesday

I really dig those adaptive headlights, They are especially useful when maneuvering in tight spots when lighting conditions aren't stellar (parking close to a wall or other cars etc.)

Congrats on the purchase

+ I received a letter from a certain Tasmanian member today and inside was my i30 Owner's Club sticker!

I am going to try and place it tomorrow, weather permitting

Thanks Darryl!
