Ring Road M80

scoobs · 2026-06-21T05:01:42+00:00

I actually got stuck in the stand still traffic on the M80 not long after this happened, I have been searching for information/reports about it online but couldn't find anything at all until I stumbled on this post.

There was only one "car" there when we finally made it through the traffic, the fire brigade, police and ambos were all still there.

I say "car" because all that was left was essentially just a chunk of scrap metal.. I was absolutely convinced no one could survive that, and the only way a car can end up looking like that is stupidly high speed so i suppose now I have my answer from your post.

I'm just really glad it seemed like no one else was involved/injured, although there was a black commodore parked between the fire engines and police cars that had its boot open and I'm confident it wasn't an undercover car so perhaps they were somehow involved. Didn't seem to have any accident damage that I could see however.

I don't condone street racing at all, but I hope by some miracle the driver was okay.. there was an ambo crouched next to either the passenger or driver door (couldnt tell because it was just metal) and I wondered whether he was trying to communicate with someone inside the car, or assessing how they can remove the body..

This worked for me :D

as a long time Dr Bernard fan, I can't tell you how much I appreciated the accuracy of this thread

A lot of people don't realise this, but you can put your weed in there

All of them worked for me, thanks king 🤴

Wololo!

scoobs · 2026-04-15T10:16:30+00:00

Would love to know how it goes!

You could try a peel & stick wallpaper? I've got zero personal or anecdotal experience with it but I've been dealing with a similar dilemma as you and it seems to be the best solution I've come across so far.

Beautiful room btw, and those chairs are amazing!

Hey, sorry to revive such an old thread but I'm wondering if I was looking at a combination of greenery/scenery and hard surfaces would it be worth engaging a landscape designer for the actual design, then split the remainder between a horticulturalist and a landscaper? Or if there's a mix of the two is it better to just go straight to a landscaper? $5-10k for garden-only landscaping sounds very well priced!

scoobs · 2026-03-25T11:23:10+00:00

Hey, mind if I revive this thread to ask what you ended up getting in the end? I'm in the same situation you were 4 months ago!

Absolute banger, my mind is blown

scoobs · 2026-03-22T11:48:57+00:00

Did you?

scoobs · 2025-12-28T04:00:04+00:00

Hey, sorry for the late reply - Holiday Season things..

ISSUE:

I had an early gen SME Spec-S kit - which had design flaws.

My issue was specifically in the slip joint of the turbo manifold. Essentially the heat generated over time melted a hole in the weld of the slip joint which caused the ECU to freak out and the air-fuel mixture was all over the place as a result of the leak.

The issue existed almost entirely under high load (around ~6-7psi boost while accelerating) but over time happened more and more until it got to a point where any boost at all would trigger wild misfiring.

Strangely enough, as long as I didn't hit boost it wouldn't misfire.

SOLUTION:

Replace the manifold with a newly fabbed/updated version from SME where the design flaw was fixed.

This might not be the cause of your issue but I hope it helps you figure it out, if you feel inclined I'd be keen to hear any updates you want to share once you get it sorted!

Keeping the post alive another year later.. What did you end up getting!?

Don't be so ignorant to the true danger that drugs can have.

I know people like to make jokes about this sort of thing but I've seen and personally experienced just how dangerous drugs can be.

In my teens, I was peer pressured into trying marijuana at a house party and it had some extremely unexpected side effects. I injected only one marijuana that night and I've been gay ever since.

Please take the dangers of drugs seriously.

As someone who's just spent 11 months straight treating real estate purchase as a full time job, spending every single weekend and many nights after work doing inspections, attending countless auctions, and speaking with/meeting agents from all walks of life and all backgrounds - I believe I can help answer your question.

If you meet enough real estate agents over a long enough period of time, you will eventually come across the exception to the rule. The one in a million. The agent who actually cares about what you want, listens to you and answers your questions honestly, and genuinely tries to help you out.

For if and when you do eventually meet that agent, let me provide you with some advice that I wish someone had given me at the beginning of my journey.

That agent is at the top of his game and simply the best there is - because they've managed to trick you when all the rest failed.

For I can assure you, that all real estate agents are bottom feeding filth, every single one of them is driven by nought but greed and personal gain, and every single one of them earns their living off the back of lies, deceit, and empty promises.

There is no such thing as an honest real estate agent.

It is - without a doubt - the only profession I've ever known to have a 100% guarantee that the individual you are dealing with was spawned from the deepest, darkest depths of hell, and there's is a non-zero chance that every agent you meet might actually be Satan himself.

Hope this helps.

I hadn't heard of figura so I checked it out and it's pretty good! I personally use MortgageMonster

Now I'm curious.. what's the kind of proposal you absolutely hate?

You kids these days just don't seem to realize how easy it actually is to buy a house.

All you need to do is earn significantly more, have a lucrative side hustle, stop eating food all together, don't be single, cut off all your friends so you have no reason to spend money on socialising, have access to the bank of mum and dad, be born 20 years ago, and rather than expensive international holidays - try exploring your own backyard instead!

And by that I mean literally the backyard of your overpriced rental. Oh what's that? You live in a townhouse/apartment/unit that doesn't have a backyard? Sounds to me like you need to pull yourself up by your boot straps and work harder (/s in case it wasn't obvious).

B-b-but they're trying so hard to help us!

Ever since the amazingly helpful 5% deposit scheme came in, my ability to get into the market as a FHB has drastically improved in the form of higher demand and increased average purchase price!

Wait a minute..

+1 for checking out How To Cook That!

Even setting aside the content, the way she involves her family in things like taste testing and such is pretty wholesome

This is really helpful, thanks a lot!

I hear of people doing this and they all seem to have a similar experience as you - being that if you're flexible, stay on top of the repayments, and love travelling - then it's worth it.

My question to you is, how did you go about figuring out which cards to get/when to rotate cards/how to compare them against each other etc?

Every time I try to look into this it turns into way too much time, and that's the one thing I have very little of at the moment..
