    What car would you recommend for a P Plater

    in The Bar

    Posted · Edited by Fozzy

    6 cyl holden hq ute.

    Real steel

    Class

    Safer than plastic and tinfoil.

    Pay a small fortune for a decent one nowadays, no change out of $10 or $12k that's for sure.

    That's if you can find one that's not full of rust. Love the HQ have had a couple of good ones over the years,

    You could buy private a reasonably nice early - mid 2000's Mazda 6 for something around that, my boy recently bought a 2005 Mazda 6 luxury sports with 130000 geniune kilometres for $7k, nice car leather interior and sunroof. Just make sure you spend your $40 doing your full revs checks , I caught one fella out with a too good to be true deal, speedo was wound back 100 000ks

    Here's a finish product from another student. Looks and sounds sensational. One of the best acoustic guitars I've seen.

    Yeah that looks the goods!!! Is it a maple back and sides, or some other exotic timber?

    How thick is the soundboard?

    Registering a car in nsw for first time

    in The Workshop

    Be careful buying cars from Queensland . Bit of a scam going on up there where repairable write offs are bought from nsw repaired in QLD and registered. If youre unlucky enough to buy one of these you will not be able to register in NSW. In NSW a write off is a write off.

    You'll incur stamp duty as well $32 + 2 or3% of the sale price or market value whichever is greatest.

    Make sure you do a full revs check (Veda full report) $40 could save you thousands. Just recently I was looking to buy a car did the relevant inquiries found that it had a 100 000 wind back full report should tell you if the car has been written off

    There are six species of wren in my local area- superb fairy wren, splendid fairy wren, red backed fairy wren, white winged fairy wren, variegated fairy wren and the southern emu wren. Google images should give you a good idea of the range of colours- I cant screen shot the images due to copyright laws sorry

    The superb fairy wren pictured (with blue plumage) is a male of breeding age, as juveniles they look pretty much the same as the females, which are predominately browny, grey. The only thing that really varies between breeding males is the amount of black plumage they carry. Superb little bird.

    Wrens carrying different colours are definitely different species

    Good pics!!

    Depends where you are south west batteries at Narellan south western Sydney are usually very reasonable priced can buy on-line too I think. I have no affiliation with them but have bought numerous batteries from them, sometimes up to one hundred bucks cheaper than the more well known retailers

    Fish Finder advice

    I nearly got the one you are talking about but I just don't need the gps in estuaries...I use landmarks instead and I am pretty certain that you can add a gps unit to the model I have for another 100 or 150 if I'm not mistaken. I guess it depends whether you want to fish in big open waters or places you aren't familiar with.

    Doesn't cost a great deal more for GPS today better to have it, you could probably live without in in an estuary but it's great for relocating underwater structure and stuff (saves time) and if you move to a lake, bay or harbour situation it gains greater relevance

    What fuel to use

    in Boating

    Posted · Edited by Fozzy

    I've got a 2006 40hp Mariner, and it runs by far the best on 95 (have tried 98 too)idles a little smoother. Doesn't seem to run quite as well on the 98 at higher revs, don't ask me why I haven't a clue. I only buy from BP/Shell or Caltex, never independent especially if I buy regular unleaded.

    Hawkesbury Flattie 85+

    in Fishing Reports

    Posted

    Took my old boy out fishing, didn't catch a thing but he jagged an 85cm + flattie. Photo is ordinary given we wanted to get her back in the water quickly it was dark and I only had the phone. Funny story the old boy pulled her up and started cursing the stingray he'd just caught, I looked over the side and said it a flattie you dill, 'bulldust' was the reply ( sanitized version) I said no bull. He was stoked, the biggest fish he's caught in his 65 years. 3y2utudu.jpg

    I was thinking about a TK3G I have one for another application and it is awesome just didn't know which to get for the bait situation. Looking to target the odd jewie/kingie and this a bit bigger than your average flatty or bream. Thx for your replies. Appreciate the advice
