1 per annum on average. But probably has more to do with the number of Mine and industrial sites I visit.

I'm with Telecom and it's free on the fastest plan (work pay for it), so I'm happy. However, I wouldn't use them as the provider of my choice. Have a look at the Consumer evaluation of ISP's

Join the AA. Leave it to them. Mounting air-jacks would be a cool option though.

I'll definitely stop by on my next road trip down South. Congratulations.

Didn't feel it here in Australia. How is our house?

Agreed, I'd fight it. My condolences for the situation too. I would not have considered stopping for a cop in the same scenario.

I would ask what their justification for failing on a tell-tale light is. The rolling road test for brakes either passes the car, or it doesn't. And even then they guess the weight of your car to come up with a pass/fail anyway. If they inspected your pads/discs and failed it, sure. But the light is a joke. Like failing my car on an EDC or ABS warning. They are not part of the WOF test.

And that probably highlights the reason for double yellow lines on that stretch of road. Very poor judgement on his part.

Thank you all. I had a very relaxing day and am off to embarrass myself at the Te Puke Golf course with the lads from Orica and drink the afternoon away. Cheers, I don't feel too old yet. It just takes me longer to recover.

As the M3 exhaust is already a pretty good base system (and has an excellent team of designers behind it), I'd be looking for someone who knew something about fluid dynamics. No disrespect to Al (as I've never met him), but an F1 engine man gets my vote ahead of him. You get what you pay for. An M3 is already a dual system all the way to the rear muffler, I believe. So why would you discuss a single option?

Slow, not so fast. Quicker than a Morris Minor. Slower than a 1275GT Mini.

I know someone who might be interested Doug. $4-5k for a complete system, I'm sure. Call me and I'll see if he wants to. Conrod may recommend the Swissy, I'm talking about. If he's got another suggestion, then I'd look at that too.

Mate, you must be young Grant, if she is half your age. Happy Birthday Emma.

True nice drift, but still not the real thing. Ari in his Peugeot at Pikes Peak is still one of my favourite driving videos. What a lunatic.

Right click on the file and open with Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Edit picture, resize or compress, I can't remember which. Easiest way yet.

That's a cheap set of cufflinks. However, given that the BMW lifestyle ones will be crap mass produced ones from China, they wouldn't be good value for money. Get a proper pair made Gus. Go and see Rob or Dave at David Keefe jeweller and say I sent you. They will manufacture a set for you. Lapis Lazuli and Gold or Silver would be superb.

Happy Birthday Ollie Have a great day.

This guy is pretty good too.

And Fonterra will love you for it as they are currently the largest producer of Ethanol in NZ to my knowledge.

A tall mate of mine is looking for support to get a few rows allocated on flights to Tall people. Have a look. Hi I've done a lot of flying in my time, and I love to fly, but I have always struggled to find space on a plane to fit. I'm tall but not abnormally so, and I have certainly found many others on flights who are not quite as tall as me who also struggle. I want to put the fun, enjoyment and excitement of flying back into the equation for people. So, I have started a web campaign. Details about what I'm trying to do can be found here http://www.onetallorder.org I figure for an Airline in this day and age to embrace a change, it would look at it if a swell of support was behind the idea. If you think it has merit then all I ask is pass the email on to people who might be interested in it. I'm after 5 million hits on the site and there are no banners or pop-ups to worry about. There will be updates with progress made. It is not my intention to make this my personal crusade. It is merely to act as a starting point for an alternative to take off. Questions to ponder. Would it work? And why not give it a try? Thanks Craig

Looks very good. Some time spent cleaning under the bonnet.

Gus, I have quite a good collection of cufflinks. I don't have any BMW ones though. Gold BAFTA, Gold PNG Mask, Silver Wedgwood ones, Silver Makers Mark. Plus other random ones. Going away tomorrow, so you'd better be quick if you want to borrow some.

If you fill up at Challenge or Gull you are already getting up to 15% Ethanol in your fuel anyway.

The Hoff! Or Simon Barnett, he's a legend down your way.
