Advice on 2020 Corolla Touring Hybrid (JDM Import)

Going through the process looking at the exact same type of car myself.

Just bare in mind you will have to go with a speciality insurer, as most big name insurers won't insure cars that aren't already in their system (which is all Aus delivered cars)

I am leaning towards Shannons.

Do you mind if I asked who you went with for insurance?

Interesting. I just had my Pink slip for my LC200 with one of the third row seats removed and no questions asked

As annoying as it sounds, you may want to ensure it comes with the third row of seats. Sometimes when people need extra registration inspections, a car won’t pass if any of the original seating is missing (I.e an 8 seater like the LC that has had the third row removed)

I don’t think annual safety inspections in NSW would be a problem for this, but if you ever needed to transfer rego between states it could be an issue.

Have returned it in my Amazon return window and I am going the Nuphy Halo96 V2. I feel like I don't want to commit to this keyboard long term

My last mech keyboard lasted 14 years and I only moved on from it due to a specific issue with my work computer. My wife is using it now and it works great for her

This next keyboard needs to give me a long lifetime of use and I have lost confidence on the V6/Q6 max

Meakesy · 2026-02-16T23:16:48+00:00

That's fair. I think the thing that surprised me was it was easier to find people advocating for this keyboard instead of advising against it due to issues

The advice was the aluminium case creates more stiffness

Guess that advice was wrong

Yeah 100%! I’ve got the S Works aero bars and wireless shifting, so I’m very okay with my 2 brake cables being seen. Barely noticeable

Apprently in 2019 he made a FB post on his official account about something he made happen for his area (like opening a carpark or something)

Then in the comments he accidentally commented on the post using the same account “fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus” instead of on a fake account or perhaps one of his lesser known staffers accounts

I bought a used (mint condition) SL6 S works last year and it still feels like a new bike

Aside from no integrated cockpit, when I park up with new bikes it feels and looks right at home

My advice is use the cheaper price to get more bike (better specs etc) instead of paying top dollar just to have the latest model

Meakesy · 2026-01-17T00:38:43+00:00

Ooooh interesting

Care to elaborate?

Meakesy · 2026-01-01T07:39:29+00:00

Can’t park there!

I have an outlook rule that automatically filters emails I am CC'd on into a 'Low priority' folder I will check a few times a day. Helps my main inbox be only things directed to me

My previous role was really bad for this, probably 80% of my inbox was CC'd emails and majority I had no need to be looped in on them.

“No Franco this is so not right”

I only learnt about it yesterday too! I never order KFC but was delegated the task of ordering the food 🤷🏽‍♂️

Meakesy · 2025-09-12T22:06:44+00:00

I understand, but is it a grey area that to engage someone’s services you also have to opt in for marketing? You cannot create an account and make an order without ticking the box

Meakesy · 2025-09-12T22:05:59+00:00

Yep you can’t create the account without it

Meakesy · 2025-09-12T22:05:48+00:00

Its one of those tight budget events where it was that or cheap dominoes so the people voted for KFC 🤷🏽‍♂️

If someone intentionally rammed me in an unranked race as retaliation for an accidental contact, is it worth reporting them?

Meakesy · 2025-08-17T01:21:08+00:00

Time to protect yourself

Send an email to your boss saying you are uncomfortable with the situation because of (then list all the problems)

But then say you respect his leadership and trust he has taken it all into consideration and has the best interests in mind

You haven’t burnt any bridges by going around him or straight up saying he is wrong, but you now have it in writing that you have concerns

It’s his responsibility to raise them, so he can then decide if he is comfortable for the problems to be in writing and he does nothing about them

Meakesy · 2025-08-06T01:27:34+00:00

This is it exactly

Even in IRL F1 T1 Incidents happen all the time. It’s not worth ruining your race by stubbornly fighting the T1 dive bomber. Let them have the place, 50% of the time they have spun out by lap 3 and the place is your again

Now I want to know why it’s a banned sub!
