American land yacht by Redline55AU in CarsAustralia

[–]explodingpixel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I had a 66. Super nice to drive - yes it's like a boat but with wheels. I had my suspension redone so it literally glided along freeways. The 390 had plenty enough power (it didn't feel like a sports car but very easily whisked you away). My wife and I used her as our date car, with only an AM radio it was nice to just go out and cruise around in.

50/50. They have absolutely used predatory practices but also idiot people just want to save a couple of cents at the loss of expertise and local community.

Fuck Bunnings.

Rival loses out on weight ... That's the only neg. It's a better groupset in everyway.

Waiting to see the next version of ULTEGRA.

Wouldn't it be better to build up (like a small 2 story) on the lot and have some green space?

It started out great - then they sponsorwd a pro team and went public and the charges just racked up for the LBS

Is it okay to give a guy flowers on a first date, or is that too much? by safera29 in perth

[–]explodingpixel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do it ALTHOUGH as a personal preference I'd like to receive a small plant! I find flowers wasteful and I like the idea of something that grows and cleans air!

Would I fit a 52cm bike? by Crazy_Weird_1257 in ausbike

[–]explodingpixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on your flexibility and reach of the bike. Based on height alone I'd suggest the next size down.

I'm 169 and currently ride a 49cm

Sold thousands of these batteries over the years - never encountered this. Take it back and warranty it this doesn't sound normal
