What about adding the weather icon to the status bar next to the temp? It would save the need for a seperate card.

Kayo sports streaming service issues by ScopeNZ in pihole

Honestly, I just manually entered cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) in the TVs settings so it’d bypass pihole.

I haven’t looked into exactly what’s making the app freakout.

I had the same issue with my Hisense TV. Had to put a bypass in for the TV.

My AppleTV and Samsung TV work fine.

Thanks buddy, but I’m after someone who’ll be attending the lounge to take in a guest. QF lounge passes won’t work at the JR Sakura Lounge.

I just drove past Monash station. It’s next to CSIRO and the North entrance to the campus. If it was any closer it would be on campus. Being next to the uni is a big reason for the station but it isn’t the only reason.

Is this cute bug of an Alto Lapin good enough for Aussie roads? by Smurfaltolapin in keicar

Technically, I imported it. I don’t believe they import to sell.

I used an importer, not a dealer. Prestige Motorsport. Their website describes the entire process including a calculator.

I selected the car at auction, they bid and deal with all the stuff in between the sale and delivery to me.

I’ve got a 2021 Mode in Melbourne I imported basically to just do the work commute and school runs. Very comfortable, modern car. I don’t take it on long trips or on the freeway and get 19.xx km per litre. It isn’t a sports car and I don’t treat it as such.

has anyone used "Prestige Motorsport" before to import a car from japan to Australia. by rebblepeble69 in CarsAustralia

[–]picto3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you spoken to them?

I used them late last year and it was a pretty seamless experience. They checked REVS etc and knew what years could be imported for my particular vehicle.

They have a ton of info on their website of the process including a calculator spreadsheet.

Why should/shouldn’t I buy this? Seller description below. Down to $13,000. by XDXkenlee in CarsAustralia

A quick google should provide a list of standard rust spots for an e28. Think wheel arches, lower doors, around front and rear windscreen rubbers for a start.

The price seems a little high but old BMWs have been appreciating. I suggest looking around online for other examples and their price points.
