  4. on paper it looks ok here it you kinda squint a little , if its like the new cars though to see it in person, not so much, too much shiny chrome especially on the bonnet face, i suspect those dots will look too obvious 3d(ish) in real life
  5. have to disagree with that one, its just your insecurity that you check the handle, I love keyless entry, key fob only comes out of pocket when pants are changed and wifes is somewhere in the bottomless pit of a handbag, its so nice to never have to fumble for a key, you can here it lock anyway
  6. recommendations please, has the technology changed?

    every time I went up to the big smoke for the day I'd be taking extra fuel cans then. Got caught a little short coming home and had to top up in taupo recently, just put the bare $20 to make the gauge safer because they were pretty OTT as well. poor boaties they would make a killing filling boats

    just up the road from you graham in Hastings all the gas here is still about 11c more for 95 than 91which has crept up from the 9c difference it used to be there has been some obvious changes around though Z which are next door to Pakn save used to match price now they don't bother.Havelock North 10km down the road is 20-30 dearer Hastings Pak n Save 95 is 1.86 and you can 6 c off that again, Z is 205 and 60 m away on the same side of the road Napier Pak n Save is 1.77 for 95 and you can get 6 cents off there is also gull but you don't need it when the others are behaving
  10. after fitting an android unit to another car the big issue for me is, car left parked all day and unit overheating, on a summers day I have nothing till aircon cools the unit down enough for it to even boot up and mine is mounted mid dash, so hot as to be burnt fingers screen glass hot. are you saying the dash screen unit is actually the android unit so basically an android tablet with external connectors.? I'd be very concerned with heat affecting it although guess it was built for the purpose as opposed to a custom hack job like mine

    but my ev? maybe cars should run on fresh water, wait!what! Darnit
  12. don't know how you do it, put so much effort and love into a project which some idiot could sideswipe on the first lap, watching races you kind of think these things are just expendable playtoys and for some I guess they are but after all that work I'd be too scared of bending it
  13. pick up the basics from reading manuals, and then apply them calmly,routinely, in a high stress "assumed first and only time situation" are two different things, but yes ,not to be discussed in public so ending it now agree with you on the rogue aspect, plenty of very young angry school shooters in USA and that culture is what is aspired/copied here so its only a matter of time I guess and who doesn't know how to get into their dads gun cabinet. The job prospects of the future and the destructive nature of our race baiting press, are going to make a lot of disenfranchised youth for sure but I still don't think you can legislate the problem away or it was justified at the time. Agree entirely with posts above it just needs an independent body that sole job is to control that, not the police who move funds around as needed and have become political assets to be abused by gvnmts
  14. self taught? you don't get those disciplined habits as easily seen in the video footage playing call of duty, he was well trained in combat More generally, this highlights an issue with any legal licensing system, those who would pass whatever checks and don't have a history of violence etc will tend to be granted licenses. not sure thats correct in this case, the history checks and sponsor checks just weren't done but yes the type of weapon is irrelevant. Most terrorism in UK is now done in trucks not with assault weapons. can't ban trucks
  15. wow pretty impressive obviously driven track before, didn't see a single mistake,
  16. think the point went straight over your head the existing gun laws, if followed correctly by police would have stopped him obtaining those weapons it was human error not a law issue

    I thought singapore was beautifully green, every drab bit of concrete , even motorway overpasses had flower gardens etc, bloody impressive and so clean

    I get your point but 5m masks means nothing really, if its even believable re the flu vaccines and PPE debarcle etc. it won't stop a virus, the jury is still out on even their effectiveness, 1 hour tops for disposable then they need to be basically incinerated to be safe and thats n95 grade only not converted socks like on 7 sharp last night, roadblocks are just reactionary, necessary granted but hardly planned for, possibly even illegal under current leg. mobile testing, can't see how that helps TBH queues of people getting tested with no symptoms, no contact with anyone dangerous, just wasting everyones time resthomes great, well done if its done correctly otherwise as useless as not testing customs staff, bus drivers, air hostesses etc have they set up special wards to enable hospitals to carry on with their elective surgeries etc , treating the covid at same time, without tossing nearly everyone else out to keep beds clear. got more respirators in for the inevitiable, those sorts of things We have the advantage of hindsight and other countries experience now as we have delayed our outcomes so far. just hope we have learnt and prepared, not convinced entirely tho

    chinas economy is extremely fragile, they are terrified, they are under far more stress internally than countries like USA, things can go very pear shaped very fast for china and they know that.its happened before, they have a lot of mouths to feed. its all an act

    so what has been done icu wise to prepare for the inevitable relapses or outbreaks, have they set up emergency preparations , ppe gear, done any work on isolating rest homes properly if it became needed, set up teams of people ready and trained in what to do because it looks like nothing has changed since the first day we went in to lockdown. hospitals went back to normal business and we don't appear any more ready than we were the first time with all the knowledge learnt from other countries experiences what have we done to prepare for this time

    bit harsh.humans are humans barely evolved from other animals in reality, its got nothing to do with where your from or your race or religion, theres good and bad in everyone and we can all have proud and shameful secrets

    a good conspiracy I heard today is that the current outbreak is pretty much overhyped /managed so that on friday they can say their team who have trained for this emergency have stepped in and saved us all from another lockdown with their procedures. The Rugby can go ahead on Saturday and everyone will rejoice and thank Jacinda for saving us again no policies needed, election in the bag hopefully thats what pans out, I was looking forward to the game
