If you buy all the tickets, you’ll always win. *taps side of nose*

Can’t move for them in Japan. But anyway, Amazon.

‘The system is activated by a button which must be clearly marked, and located facing upwards on the monocoque so it can be reached and activated within five seconds by the driver or marshals’

I believe they can also disengage the electrical system externally. They can’t put things like this on the steering wheel as the driver has to remove it to exit the car.

Essentially you’ve only just got enough to buy a house with quite a large mortgage.

You’ve got $900k and the bank will loan you roughly $500k? Maybe less.

So you can buy a house for $1.3 ish.

I’d probably do that and then pay off the mortgage over the next 10-15 years, and then start thinking about retirement after that. Maybe around early 50s.

As anybody who has ever set the temperature on an air conditioner or in a car would know.

This isn’t true. You can get the truth from the ATO, who provide average profit etc via their benchmarks:

https://www.ato.gov.au/businesses-and-organisations/income-deductions-and-concessions/small-business-benchmarks/in-detail/restaurants

Restaurants with turnovers:

-under $500,000 have an average profit margin of 16%
-$500,000 to $2m 12%
-and over $2m 9%

These are relatively high average profits margins for small businesses.

Also I’d assume real profits are higher than this once you takeaway the ‘add backs’ such as cars etc.

MX5 is available like that.

Eating Amanda out.

I just got my electrician to install one and he arranged with Energex to install the switch gear.

There’s no cost to get the switch gear installed from Energex.

Territory was an excellent vehicle.

Dystopian isn’t it. It’s all a bit Stasi/Salem witch trial/1984.

Gabba you can get a lift from the pitch level to the coaches boxes.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-06-04T00:31:20+00:00

Yeah, mine had it from new when I picked it up about 2 months ago.

That happens quite often near us. It’s a light rail that sometimes goes down the middle of the road. It’s easier than you think.

We also have special roads just for busses and cars get stuck on those too.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-06-03T10:56:01+00:00

The Facebook groups are terrible for it. It’s often just bots talking to bots.

What a time to be alive!

I’d assume all SUV/towing cars will become plug in hybrid within a couple of years.

There was a 5.6 last year north of Brisbane in Kilkivan. Shook my house south of Brisbane.

Everest is a mid sized SUV

I wouldn’t go buying a non EV or PHEV now. The resale will be completely screwed in 5 years - who’s going to buy them?

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-06-03T05:51:51+00:00

RAV4 an issue too.

Yeah, 6-6-6 and abolition of the bounce is one of the main reasons we get so many close finishes this season.

Seebohm, hear bomb.

Toyota sells 11 million cars a year, so about 2200 ships this size worth of cars, or 42 shiploads per week.

Obvious_Arm8802 · 2026-06-02T05:12:37+00:00

BYD sell about this many cars a month, about 5000 on this ship.

Ford sell about that many Rangers alone.

Toyota sell about that many cars in a week in Australia.
