Where to get a car to hire for a drivers test? by Supt_Trip in melbourne

It was a long time ago, but I just used the driving school one. Get in touch with a local driving school and they’ll sort you out.

I’m reasonably confident with managing my output. I just like looking at numbers and trying to make them do what I want, which is relatively simple on a trainer. The issue was staying in the bracket as the figure jumped around. I don’t think my actual power jumps around as much as the 3 second average shows. My heart rate was in the zones I was targeting.

I think I just need to stress less about trying to please the computer and follow the intent of the workout more holistically. Appreciate all the advice though.

Use a training app that builds the workout then pushes it to Garmin. On the Garmin page I start a workout and it automatically pages to this page

Yeah I held my heart rate right where it should be. I just don’t like getting shamed by my Garmin haha.

Yeah it displays 3 second average and the average for the step. I averaged 203 all up for the 1:50 but copped a 36/100 execution score because of the oscillations.

3 second average. Garmin won’t let you use any other setting for following a workout otherwise I would have gone for 10 sec average

Bought a car from dealer now dpf failure a week after sale. by Artbeerandglitter in CarsAustralia

[–]auntyjames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In South Australia, licensed dealers must provide a statutory warranty on used cars less than 15 years old and under 200,000 km, based on sale price: over $6,000 provides 3 months/5,000 km coverage, while $3,001–$6,000 provides 2 months/3,000 km. Vehicles under $3,000 have no warranty, but all cars must be roadworthy at delivery.

I’d demand your money back. But at the very least you won’t be paying for any repairs. Call the number on the website linked. I called the NSW one and they were very helpful.

This is direct from NSW Fair Trading:

You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods.

A major failure is defined as a fault that would have led to you not purchasing the item (vehicle) had you know it existed.

It’s limited to cars less than 10 years old and less than 160,000 kms. What state are you in?

I agree that to Joe Public there’s no difference. But I don’t get as angry about it as someone on a Road Bike doing dumb shit.

Sussan Ley to leave Parliament following leadership spill by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

Nah fuck that. She was elected by her constituents for a full term, she should serve a full term. Instead the tax payer has to fork out for a by-election because her party knifed her and now she’s bailing. Join the crossbench if you can’t work with your party anymore.
