gjm 3258 Report post Posted June 22, 2016 Disclaimer: I visited the Hamilton Beer & Wine Company this evening and have been enjoying what we bought. People who think 'superlow'-branded springs provide better vfm and ride quality than a proper H&R, Bilstein/Eibach or similar suspension set up, even at comparable prices. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted June 22, 2016 Maybe the staff should of thought about it before bitching and moaning about their pay and contracts. Now they've just been replaced. and many companies will go the same way as more and more people can no longer participate in the "normal" economy because they have been "replaced".the sh*t will hit the fan soon as inequality grows Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2093 Report post Posted June 22, 2016 The US department of homeland security website. If you are old enough. Think early 90's. Before the internet was really a thing. BBS quality website. Contradicts itself throughout the website multiple times. There is no Black and White rules because they leave most things up to the digression of the immigration staff at the time of entry. Fingers crossed you don't get someone who had a complete wanker in line before you. It is all worth it though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep we did stop, I could have claimed it on his insurance, but I am not like that, I can fix it my self and I already fibre glassed the aluminium bar in to my bumper, and made a new peace to go in to my mud guard. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

huff3r 347 Report post Posted July 5, 2016 People being advised to undergo surgery when the surgeons dont really have a clue what the issue is ^^^^^^ You might've dodged a bullet there Paul . . . sent you a link. I have very bad astigmatism and myopia, both of which can be clearly seen in maps of my eye. The surgeon knows exactly what is wrong, and so do I and I know the risks. I was not advised to undergo surgery, I researched it and chose it myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackAngel 60 Report post Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) No worries. Just thought that a neurosurgeon's perspective (in contrast to an eye doc's viewpoint) might shed some light (pun intended) on the potential flow on effects lasik can have in terms of dopamine, DHA, the suprachiasmatic nucleus and endocrine systems etc. IOW, things that have unintended consequences if looking at the eye in terms of eyesight only which can be a myopic perspective (sorry couldn't help it). I hope your research enables you to know what all that means. Genuinely hope it goes well for you. Have a great holiday. <<<waiting for the next rant post to be about know it alls Edited July 5, 2016 by BlackAngel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Breaker 980 Report post Posted July 6, 2016 All day in the worlds three worst words put together Toyota Camry Hybrid Loosing my will to live, suddenly I can't wait for the Falcon to be fixed. Which tells how bad this is. These things are terrible. Choppy, trying to be sporty suspension that then floats like a boat, with no power and more Eco buttons then I care to count, and none of them seem to do anything. Headlights that are frankly dangerous they are so useless and short in their low beam I'm having the team send it back to Toyota, those headlights can't be right or adjusted correctly, or both 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olaf 3340 Report post Posted July 9, 2016 rednecks in utes in provincial new zealand towns. picture, if you will, a rainy saturday in Napier. Weekend trip away. Saturday morning in-town to exercise one of the oldest tourism practices: retail tourism, allowing one's family to shop and jettison money into local economy... 30km/h zone in town, no parks to be found... pull to side of road (with indicator), put hazards on. Rural "gentleman" in silver japanese ute drives past, glaring and gesturing and honking his horn repeatedly. huh? what a welcoming presence. What, you don't get to safely pull to the side of the road in a small town, to deposit your passengers? Perhaps navigating his way around a stopped vehicle causes significant pain and discomfort, due to the chips on his shoulders. I'm sure the same guy would bitch and moan if there was a decline in tourism income in Hawkes Bay, too! Perhaps his job title is "director of first impressions". Thankfully these idiots do not get to carry sidearms in NZ. /rant 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
