I have a 70bhp Landie on a 1-ton chassis, so 1500kg unladen, 2500kg rated.

But I can also call on my dad to field an Austin 7 with 13bhp for 600kg.

Do the rest of your training and take the rest of your certs. Don't be an idiot like me and do all of the training up to CCNP and then never challenge any of the tests because you'd rather spend the $400 on food.

Toyota tax is GREAT when your looking to sell one, it sucks arse if your trying to buy one...

I paid $53,000 for a 5yr, 106K km old landcruiser 100 series that cost $72K new and that was an AVERAGE priced one.

Theres shitloads of 80 and some of the 100 series that must be starting to not be able to easily pass the Shaken any more and are being wrecked and parted out because there are guys importing CONTAINERS of 1HD-T, 1HD-FT and 1HD-FTE motors into Australia.

And they're asking $10-12K for a motor of unknown origin and service history of course...

They already did this and called it a W8 - effectively two four cylinder VR blocks mated together. The Passats they were available in were among the least reliable VW models of the era and while it made a decent amount of power for a 4.0 N/A engine it was a mechanical headache.

Also, I pissed off Plex. Turns out moving everything to a new drive makes it re-import everything, and loses your place on stuff you're in the middle of watching... despite all the paths being the same. :sigh: At this point I may as well have just wiped the database and let it start from scratch. Probably run faster, anyway.

I've built a few motors as seen in previous posts and I also own a Series 1 VE V6. I haven't done much to it ever simply to annoy the poo poo out of my mates dad who is a mechanic.

Only other maintenance is a new oil pressure sensor which failed earlier in the year. Also have new plugs I intend to change one day ready.

With no ECU, harness, or H151 mated to it so probably double that to get those bits as well. Once you're looking at $20k+ you might as well start looking for a donor instead of buying it all separately.

I have yet to work in a purely agile development but I’ve never worked at a place where they’re like “yo Tusen we have to have this fix done by next sprint because QA found bugs in a build from 3 [two week long] sprints ago so you need to fix those (if they still exist)” and then they wonder why progress is so slow

Could be. What I heard about it was it was one of those engines that unless you scrupulously followed the maintenance intervals for everything, it'd sludge up and kill itself.

Re: Hyperdrive chat. I binged the whole season, and on the whole thought it was pretty decent. Could use 3 fewer commentators, but I'm hoping they'll get better (and I'm also a picky rear end in a top hat). Fielding was massively entertaining to watch, as were the Charger and Barion, and overall I was pleased with how it all ended, I'll tune in for the next season.

Serious movie recommendation, check out Peanut Butter Falcon. I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but it was wonderfully endearing, and I'm recommending it to everyone I know.

In an E/N moment today, I came across my ex-fiancee's car whilst at the junkyard, and I'm still not sure how I feel about that. Part of me wants to go back and wreck the thing with a crowbar as some sort of catharsis, but part of me is really sad because I spent so much time and energy fixing that thing up, I don't want to see it dead. I may go back and strip the parts I know are fairly new :smuggo:

Oh yes the 3.8 I had the the VY was indestructable. The tension pulley on the serpentine belt seized on mine and I couldn't tell you how long I drove it while the belt was slowly melting it and itself because I didn't know. I noticed the problem and drove 80km round trip to the nearest Super Cheap for a new pulley. For some reason there was a belt under the passenger seat there for me already from previous owner.
