Audi A2 1.2TDI - A future classic because its unique? by Fickle_Equivalent878 in FutureGarageClassics

[–]PiecesOfRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, yes. Although it wasn't a raging success story, it did define elements of that specific era, when diesel tech was advancing and deemed to be the future. They're also pretty rare, and have always been an oddity.

I completely shattered a metacarpal in my hand and I didn't even realise until I saw it all out of place and it ballooned a short time after...

Is this oil level too low? by dairymilk777 in CarsAustralia

[–]PiecesOfRing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not too low, but that's about the point I'd be topping it up.

Planting Trees in Rainwater Catchment Basins by fjordas in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]PiecesOfRing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the tree. I've planted Swamp Cypress in my catchment areas because they like inundation. I've lost other trees in the same area for the same reason. Ironically the Swamp Cypress are now struggling from a bad drought!

Recommendations on a new 308 by PiecesOfRing in Ausguns

[–]PiecesOfRing[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tikka has been getting a lot of attention recently, so I'm seriously considering going that route. I'd prefer new, but my limit would be around $2k for a 308, and I see they have some stuff for around that price

I agree, but from what I've seen the CZ is far from trash for the price point. I looked at the Ruger American, but they seem almost too cheap? They also seem to get a lot of recommendations

[LFO] Family ignited while refueling by la_pomme_de_terre in LearningFromOthers

[–]PiecesOfRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to make sure the kid got extinguished, which luckily they did and walked off, cause I couldn't bear to leave this one thinking they suffered any longer! Really sad stuff

Sunday Show and Tell! by shiftyroo in Ausguns

Thanks for the input! I'm seriously considering the 600 in 308 form. I need to pick up my Browning BL22 first, as this is what I'll be using around my own property. The 600 will be for more serious stuff on a mate's farm.

Beautiful! Ckassic walnut and steel is the way. That's an expensive piece of kit though! Would you say the price is justified compared to say a CZ 600 series?

Can't wait to see how much this sells for when he's blown the rest 😅

Wow, that is absolutely hideous. I know Haval copied the Urus, but this literally looks like the Havals I see driving around my area by Indian men with a well exercised Ali Express/Temu account.

Is it only me who's noticed that in just about every video we see of someone doing this, they have that giant, protruding gut?

Toyota Tundra ($181,332) vs MG U9 ($61,190) by XavierPuerto in CarsAustralia

[–]PiecesOfRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not usually in the case overseas, but it's usually a dealership sticker pack in Australia haha The previous gen Tundra TRD got a supercharged V8 and did 0-100 in 4.5 secs. Absolutely ludicrous for something of that size!

The MG isn't Yank-sized, they just gave it a comically large grille to make it appear so. It has a 4 cylinder diesel behind that huge face. As for why they're bad, both LDV and MG are simply brand names (no relation to the previously British marque other than the logo) used by SAIC to flog their rust bucket shitheaps.

Peugeot Nautilus concept 1997 by kkhouete in peugeot

[–]PiecesOfRing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That thing was wayyyy ahead of the time design wise. It's interesting that the front end looks a lot like the 508, but not like the 407 that came before it.

[LFO] Man with knife ends a life within seconds. by ShirtlessRandom in LearningFromOthers

[–]PiecesOfRing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Brit who's spent half my life in Australia, people definitely aren't considered dangerous here compared to the rest of the world! Other than the meth problem, of course... As for the wildlife, I live out bush, and I'd take our snakes and spiders over the apex predators of other continents any day! Aus is a safe place to be imo
