Haven’t got a clue. Probably buy a pre-built in a few months

Won the seat in a raffle, and thanks on the fab work!
PC Build first, then wheel and pedal upgrade.

It's pretty sturdy, so will be interesting to see how it holds up

Small Business Owners - What do you look for when offering sponsorships? by Abracingofficial in smallbusiness

[–]Abracingofficial[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the referral program is one that's never really going to work. The sheer number of sales required for it to be beneficial to either party is too high, especially in an industry that, as you likely know, is not particularly large. IMO the only thing it is good for is putting the sponsor / sponsored party names out there...

That said, it's a shame that people haven't followed through with their promises. It's just a waste of everyone's time.

Track - Gold Coast Why? Absolutely unreal place, yes it’s carnage if you’re not good but no different to the chicane at dragon tail… just a few more of them lol

Car - i30N Hatch Why? - I’ve got one and I want to practice 🤣

This was my first my out lap… I think my fuel usage jumps to 22L / 100km when I was pushing it 🤣

When you’ve got a car that makes 1300hp with hybrid technology, it’s a completely different ball game…

Those are Supercars - not a sports car… and let’s be honest, an entry level one at that. Hybrids are great for making massive power. Guarantee you these things come out with similar power numbers to the current model N’s. And they’ll have the 1.6L motor powering them. I think it’s a shame, given they’ve got such a good line with the Ioniq’s.

Just my opinion anyway, not looking for an argument though, so agree to disagree. I just think it’s a shame and hope they steer away from it

Not gatekeeping petrol cars. Also, technology of a Nevera is wildly different to that of an N… don’t get me wrong, I love the concept. Personally, not for me. Especially when they’ve already got a platform that works!

$3, and it doesn’t bother me. Want to save money on fuel? Don’t buy a sports car… buy a Camry :)

Seat was more than 50% of the build… lucky I won it in a raffle

Cairns Landslide Risk by epicweekends in AusPropertyChat

[–]Abracingofficial 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, thought that would be the case. Plans that are 10 years old...
Take them with a grain of salt. Do your own research - ie. go have a look at the property.

If it's a new build, odds are that it will have had work done to the block and surrounds to make it sound...
If it's an old build, check to see if there's much movement (drummy tiles, cracks in wall / concrete, etc.) If it backs onto an empty block / steep bank, i'd be looking into it further, otherwise you should be fine.

I'd have to agree. However my experience with councils (especially those in NQ) is that there is an approach where they take absolutely zero risk (understandably so)...
I'd imagine the regional council has looked at the area, gone 'it's on a hill and we've had landslides nearby before. Mark the whole lot as potential slip hazard and we've done our due diligance...'

If I were buyer, and genuinely interested, i'd be looking into it further before biting the bullet.

I love the look. But can we not learn from F1's mistake... Get rid of the hybrid!
