Although the girlfriend did just get a new ESA, the owner said it's a German shepherd/lab mix, but I'm pretty sure she's just a flatcoated retriever and the person didn't know better.

Besides the tiny eyes and and slightly longer than usual coat, she seems to be all retriever

If it was part german shepherd his ears would be significantly larger even if they were floppy so yea i reckon you're right

She's absolutely got some retriever in her.
This little guy's mum was a golden retriever.

But mate the 7mm is slightly more optimal in size when designed in isolation!

Nope, push type slave cylinder. The actual hole is 7.05/7.15mm, I was trying to find something in our catalogue to locate it reasonably well without resorting to a doweled stud or something like that.

poo poo don't I know it, in a previous life an old employer was all about MJ7 & MJ13 fasteners, the difference being we were supplying parts solely made and assembled by us.

P.S. I am excruciatingly​ aware this is the most petty complaint in the world.

Oh, the concentric ones that go inside the bellhousing? Eh, I'd say ream it out to 8mm if it's a major hassle, but I've become somewhat complacent about M7s turning up, some manufacturers seem to have a real thing for them.

I really wish somebody would put on a half mile event in michigan, I would love to go watch. The last time somebody tried it years ago, there was some embezzling scandal or something like that that killed the whole thing.

Seems the closest one to michigan is in indiana. It was a really cool event though. Definately gonna go back next year.

Also worth mentioning that the official kooks 300c couldn't manage more than a burnout and a 0-60 pull without breaking. Sounded like god stepped on a plug when they were on it though.

There are portable lifts that you wheel around like a pallet jack, but they're hella expensive.

Lame. I just need to be able to get the car into the air quickly and onto jack stands without having to do it a corner at a time. Dad won't be ready to put a lift in his garage for a while yet.

if I haven't posted about MY LANDCRUISER yet, check my bullbars for kangaroo prints

I'd love a set of those, but i dont think it would have the travel to lift the landcruiser or the other 4wd's i service up off the ground by the time the suspension reached full droop and i would be TERRIFIED to get under a 3.2+ tonne 4wd held up by one those. Its sketchy enough on a 3.5T hoist cos they REALLY shouldn't noticeably labour when the load comes on.

What's wrong with having a smart dog? Like it figures poo poo out or it's not easily trained because its independent?

Rascal has been extremely hard to train but he is so much better than he was last year it's insane. I doubt he'll ever be trusted near an open door though since he likes to take me on neighbourhood tours :v:

My buddy has a MaxJax 2 post lift that does about 45 inch height, and you epoxy anchors into the floor and bolt it down when you want it. Otherwise it can be unbolted and put away compactly. The posts have casters on them. He uses the poo poo out of it, durable and safe so far.

One step up from one-corner-at-the-time is a long reach/high lift jack and a center lift point. BMWs can do this (there's a pad on the front cross member and you can lift on the rear diff.)
