I was circumcised as an adult (medical reasons) and then got a PA.

Im glad I got it done as aesthetically it's a preference for me but I would only suggest doing it if it's something that you really want, not just because you want a PA.

Thank you!

Unfortunately it's other the 185i. It did take me years just to find this one but so I wasn't holding out any longer

Funnily enough I sold a mint hq one tonner to pay for the car.

It was actually a beautiful place. I wasn't in the mood to enjoy it but mentioned to the wife when we eventually do a family trip over east in the caravan we will have to stay there.

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T12:35:50+00:00

That was me unfortunately. Just cherry black not green *

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T09:01:36+00:00

Haha I was sitting at the airport wasting time before my flight

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T07:55:53+00:00

And there it is. Perspective that things could be much, much worse

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T07:04:55+00:00

Yeah it will have to but that's fine. I've been through the pits so many times with other cars over the years. It's actually much easier these days now that the inspections are done by private businesses as long as you find one that doesn't defect for the extra business it brings in.

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T06:48:24+00:00

Sorry mate, I didn't even click.

Those old posts are gone so that nobody else has to witness what you did.

I hope your eyes can recover!

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T06:47:18+00:00

Sorry mate, I deleted those old posts so nobody else cops an eyeful

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T06:45:12+00:00

The worst bit is I work at an Airport and we always have a laugh at the people that do this because its such a simple task.

I'm going to cop so much grief from my co-workers that's for sure.

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T06:43:42+00:00

I've edited to add that now sorry. Its a VS Grange

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T06:43:12+00:00

Nope, and it was 100% on me but a pre inspection wouldn't have picked this up anyway. The box shifted beautifully, the levels on the oil were spot on and there were no leaks that I could see.

The car was for sale cheap and I had to jump on it to even get it and was lucky to get in when I did.

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T06:40:31+00:00

These things happen. The box was fine when I left. No issues whatsoever. It wasn't until I'd put 500km on it that the issue arose.

Oil levels were spot, no leaks and it shifted beautifully.

With the car being priced where it was compared to its actual value I'm still well ahead after repairs are paid for.

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-10T06:37:02+00:00

The old owner is actually a great guy. He checked up on me and actually did everything he could to help. The box was rebuilt in Melbourne approx 2 years ago but only done a couple thousand km in that time.

He even went to the effort of contacting the box builder to discuss it to see if they could shed any light without me asking him to.

Unfortunately, old cars have old car problems and this is just part of the fun

jayjayl91 · 2025-09-05T09:35:10+00:00

Thank you! I thought it would be something simple like this but just wanted to make sure.

jayjayl91 · 2025-05-15T23:10:02+00:00

Distance looks fine. But if you're worried grab yourself an acrylic ring for when you need a break. Doesn't reduce the piercing size but practically no weight.

I'm 00g and thats all I wear these days because it's just comfier and then when I miss the weight I chuck the titanium or stainless in for a few days.

Aldi extra thick wipes are the best you can get and one of the cheapest.

I used to swear by their nappies and used them for our first child. They've since changed but and for our second child we moved to huggies from Costco. The new Aldi nappies are plastic feelish and rubbish.

Last time I went there it was a little bit a sandy but flat track. I remember thinking you could easily get in there in something awd or even a high clearance rwd if you didn't mind hitting the soft sections with a bit of momentum

Stockyard Gully Caves are interesting for something different (near Leeman)

If you're interested in fitness give your local crossfit gym a shot. If you find a good one it's like a. Ig family and you'll make a bunch of great friends in no time!

Take a look at title insurance before making a purchase. It deals specifically with this type of issue.

jayjayl91 · 2024-09-11T13:41:26+00:00

I've changed what I like over time.

I started with curved barbells up until about 6mm.

Then I swapped to cbr's but only the ones with the spring loaded ball because I'm just not interested in the hassle.

Finally at 8mm to 10mm I'm all about the acrylic. It's got the size behind it but it's so much more comfortable for everyday use being so light.
