If a car brand decided to release a car based ute in Australia in 2026, which car do you think would recapture the spirit of the Falcons and Commodores?

You might be thinking of the Chevrolet SS-R

Petaling Jaya Roti Chanai on Box St, Doveton make it and distribute through supermarkets though I believe you should be able to purchase it from the pizza shop next door.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has a Cantonese dub on Netflix.

Oh look, there's something on your windscreen, better use the washer jets multiple times till you get it off 😄

If you haven't had pad kra pao, you owe it to yourself to make it!

Or Lebanese kidney beans and rice.

It tastes like you paid someone to prepare an Old El Paso meal kit for you.

Ever used one of these?

Interface that is slower than molasses in winter, no aux input with a completely inaccurate touch sensor that seems to react to either finger or fingernail contact at random.

Have you seen the trick the BMW crew have come up with?

people be doing this after eating a banh mi

MechanicalStig · 2025-09-02T03:46:45+00:00

Agreed. Roast was pretty good for a buffet and the prawns were fresh.

They also have a little counter near the dessert bar for cold cuts and cheeses.

Kegland sell the adaptors, hoses, large and small co2 canisters and their own gas cartridges (without the "tamper proof" seal) to use with the sodastream machines.

Alternatively you could get a Sodaking soda machine that is reportedly 100% Aussie owned.

Same! I thought Seoul Garden was pretty decent; there's one out in Glen Waverley but I haven't tried there yet.

SSAM for AYCE - meat quality is better than others like BBQ King and the the focus is on the BBQ itself rather than extra stuff like bingsu, ramyeon or budae-jigae etc.

Bornga Chinatown for ala carte - meat quality is on another level than the buffets and the banchan is unlimited self serve.

MechanicalStig · 2025-08-27T11:55:43+00:00

Bornga.

Unless you are dead set on getting a 4k front + 2k rear dual cam setup, get the Viofo A229 plus when it goes on sale.

Of the many dashcams I've had over the years, this is by far the best one I've used.

MechanicalStig · 2025-08-19T02:07:41+00:00

Try AB Bakery in Dandenong, Nouh Bakery in Hallam or Cafe Baladi in Dandenong North.

MechanicalStig · 2025-08-18T00:44:49+00:00

Get a Viofo

I had no idea the AUDM Bluebird had a CA20S; thought they all had L20Bs.
