+/- toooo much work and it gets busier and busier with each passing month. Expect more customers soon: start Lufthansa from winter flight schedule, more others on the way

..and with planes you can't leave some until later!

Nope, unless AOG is concerned and it will take days for the spares to arrive)

+ Tax return completed for another year
+ Good refund
+ I don't mind paying tax (I actually wished I paid $1,000,000 tax per year)
- I don't like tax avoidance (as opposed to tax minimisation)

+ I got paid today.

- I've paid my bills and spent my pay.

+ oil is aroound $50 barrel.
- pump price is still what it was when a barrel was woth twice that.

PhireSideZA · **Reply #3697: July 23, 2015, 17:27:04**

I really wish our fuel price would come down. Oil has been dropping but so has our currency. It is now more expensive than when oil was ~$100 a barrel. Heaven knows what will happen once it goes up again...

+ I finally got the leaky light sorted once and for all. When the previous owners installed the towbar, the fitment centre drew power for the towbar coupling from the tail light and as such they wedged extra wires into the port that leads from the harness to the light unit. In doing so they damaged the o-ring that is supposed to keep water out. I spread some silicone all over the entry points and smashed a big glob on the inside where the wires protrude. It seems better now but will monitor the situation

- Due to the water running down into my car over the last few days (solid rain since Sunday evening), I have developed mold underneath my driver side seat. I sprinkled bicarb over it, left the windows open overnight (very windy tonight and 0% chance of rain), threw in a few packets of silica beads and now all I need to do is wait and see if I can cure Hippo's disease

Good action taken there, Wabbit. All the best for Hippo's recovery!

Off topic (at least in this thread): Do any of you know any good software to modifi our beloved car? I have a I30cw 2009 CDRI 1.6. Like being able to show km/liter instead of liter per 100 km. Turning on one fog-light during turning etc. - Or initiate a DPF regeneration cycle etc.

Better if you open a new thread in the Modifying section

Wingerdave · **Reply #3701: July 24, 2015, 09:24:06**

A small calculator would work......... 100 km : 5.7 ltr = 17.54 km/ltr (as an example)

sbenjaminp · **Reply #3702: July 24, 2015, 09:30:00**

OMG.... IS IT THAT SIMPLE....

- well.... Yes, obviously I know. - However I know it is possible to modify this on VW and on Skoda, so I was sort of hoping it was possible in our ricecooker, as well. :-)

+ Our rain seems to be over for now. One week of solid rain! Not normal especially for winter

+Parents visiting for weekend so Dad and I could go to Mopar Sunday. Drove up to Ipswich yesterday to save leaving at 4am like last year.

-Saturday night in Ipswich is crap. Got a feed but spent more time walking around trying to find somewhere good to have some drinks.

-Woke up to rain this morning. Went to Willowbank and setup in the Jeep section. Rain stopped and the event organisers did their best and almost had the drag strip dry and it rained again so the racing was cancelled and rescheduled to November. Not sure yet if we will make it back for that one.

+Still got to see well over 100 awesome Mopars in the show'n'shine.

meehalych · **Reply #3707: July 26, 2015, 12:25:15**

that must have been fun, i remember seeing many ol Mopar Hemi' V8'S the one with twin four barrels one carb for each side ( not inline ) don't see many now also i got to Drive an old Pontiac GTO manual with factory Hurst Shifter & a pontiac Goat motor with Tri Power boy that was a blast when all three two barrel Carbs where wide open ( the last two vacuum operated )
i know not a molar but from the true Mustle Car era of the 60's

Lakes · **Reply #3719: July 28, 2015, 18:12:09**

Also Willowbank Raceway!
i had fun there back in the 2001 2003 when Morgan & Wacker Ran that Track virtually giving it large donations each year & the Dealers family all raced Harleys we used to get free Corporate room up in aircond tower. i road up raced road back to Sydney ( always got wet ! )
think they should build a dam there ha ha
good track.
I think the best track is Heathcoat in Victoria it's just like the old Castlereagh Track ( long gone ) from Sydneys wild west.
