Window Tinting

HondaType_R — Wed, 29 Aug 2007 09:12:18 GMT

Hi guys,

I recently got a new car and I have been shopping around for a nice looking and affordable window tint.

I would like to know what is best to go with a Metallic Black exterior though? - a friend of mine suggested to get a tint with a metallic sheen, but I'm not sure, as the car is already metallic?

and how dark? - what would the darkest legal tint be?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

dealers have a preferance over private advertisers

cashfast — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 10:23:20 GMT

I note that dealers have a preferance over private advertisers in relation to the header/title of the vehicle advertised.
private e.g Holden Monaro
dealers e.g Holden Monaro cv 8
is this not discrimination, how can we sell something if the full discription is not shown

Hello,

I was just wondering, is there a way to search for sellers, to view if they are selling anything?

Thanks

I'm moving to Perth, WA, and am looking for someone who needs me to drive their vehicle from Tasmania to Western Australia in February.

I'm a very careful driver with a clean driving record and a Full C Tasmanian Drivers License.

Reply to this post if you are interested in working something out. Also, feel free to forward this on to someone you know who may be looking for a driver for all or part of this trip.

off topic - issues with surfers

Gold Coast Clubbing

OK as a local i do not go out any more for fear of being bashed for no reason. It seems the only story's i hear these days are about some poor person getting bash in surfers either over nothing or over something very very stupid. Anyway it was my 21st last week so i organized a party in surfers. Around schoolies i know i didn't realize this is the case.

So at around 12 we headed to Elsewhere from the venue we had rented for the night. My mate apparently knows managers etc so we had 40 people on the door. As we arrived at about 2 mins past 12 they made us all pay . The night was going awesome everyone was having fun. All of a sudden i get a tap on the shoulder from my girlfriend telling me a mate has been bashed by security. It was great going outside and seeing my mate with blood all over him with the police threatening to put him in jail and me in jail when i tried to find out what was going on........

So now for the story......

This mate of mine was dancing with his Girlfriend and my Girlfriend. Some big guy with blond hair and a tight white shirt on started trying to shove his self between them. My mate politely and i do i mean politely said he was dancing with his girl friend and can he back off a little. Apparently (3 of my mates witnessed) this guy then went and talked to security only to come back and do the same thing. He then apparently turned around and told my mate he stepped on his shoes and punched him in the face. As soon as the first punch connected. He then had security grab him from behind while this guy continued to punch him. Another security guard then came over as they where taking my mate down and kneed him. Then as they dragged my mate outside this random guy disappeared behind security and i was notified. (was a few more hits but hard to say exactly how many my mate did not throw one!!!!)

This is WRONG people should not get bashed by security. I thought they where meant to be around to protect people not help mates bash people cause they can. I plan on TRYING to spread this story and TRYING to boycott Elsewhere. It has always been my favorite club but since talking about this i have heard other similar story's. So please if you can do not go here and please try to spread the word. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT GET BASHED FOR NO REASON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VW Spare Parts

Hi

I have ALWAYS wanted a Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. There are always a couple in the classic car section. I'm not bad with car repairs and these old cars are much easier to get into, but how available are the spares for a car like this? I dont want have to import parts everytime they need replacing. Thanks to fellow VW lovers!

Ford car radio code

siatechnologies — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 10:05:42 GMT

Hi there,

I have been overseas for 2 months and therefore disconnect my Ford Festiva '96 car battery which I just bought for 3 months at that time.

The past owner did not have the radio code neither the car dealer.

Anyway, I need to re-enter the radio code after I re-connect my battery (else I will have no radio to help me get past the traffic!). I found out from Ford I have to pay them $25 (!!) just to reset the radio. I just don't think that the charge is fair for me.

So, I am basically hoping that some ex-Ford technician will able to provide some tip on how I could reset the radio mayself. I think it is only going to be a five-minutes job.

Hope to hear from you soon,
