Well if the sponcer Baileys cant get their act together that's their problem .... would you pay $512-00 bucks or for that matter 154-00 when I got it from Germany for around $30-00 with a tracking number to my door.

I know who Will is and a few of the others no worries you having memory problems again Neil ?

I might be getting a bit long in the tooth but i'm not getting senile

McBob.

1stly i'm not going to publicly run Baileys down because for starters,,,,,
I do not require Baileys Services, I can get what I need right here in this great country called Australia, or in particular NSW, how ever thanks to meeting Matt from this thread whom I believe is a genuine no bullsh#t fella (who enjoys a good stir) I now have been guilty of testing and purchasing items of interest from him.

forgot to add,,, Matt has become a good mate and is very helpful and even travelled 17 /18 hours straight to visite me in person, he even took the time to come and watch a saw race. Perhaps he wanted to find out if I was real or just another internet frawd.

Reqarding that old pic,,,, I know what the Queen of England looks like as well, but I do not know her. For simple record,,,, Will or Lumberjac au was not in that pic as it was taken before his time racing but I bet he can name almost all of those in the pic.


edit,,,, good morning to you Bob, its a lovely morning here as well.

Glad your taking the time to have a look out ya front door as regards fellas travelling well is Tassie far enough away and how about Rocky to see ol non-senile Bob.

As regards Baileys I wanted to do a little business their prices are good and reasonable and I didn't run down the business just their shipping arrangements

Gee the Duke's looking a tad old hope he's over his belly ache

Fark, read it earlier on FB, pinged on an amber ?

Is it worth challenging ? it's nuts.

Friend here got off a DUI after a country race meeting.

Mum was coming to pick her and her friends up, they were leaving the car in the carpark. (cow paddock)

Race course was closing and advised everyone to remove their cars to outside the gates.

What to do? so jumped in car and drove car outside of fence, technically the road shoulder but the shoulder is a stock route and 30'wide, so no-one was anywhere near the road itself.

Highway Patrol watched everyone do this, waited for them all to leave their cars then promptly breath tested and booked every single driver that was waiting for their designated pickup !

Got off in court, but it was a low act by the HP.
Yet another case of revenue raising

What a world we live in. In the case you have posted, I can see how it was thrown out in court. In my case It would come down to my (1) word against their (2) and of coarse the automatic fact that police do not lie and the public do....

The rule states that you must stop on a yellow, the only out is if it is not safe to stop before the intersection. (The officer told me I must stop on a yellow that is the law, I questioned even if I was at the white line and he said you must stop.) Considering he used words like "floored it form 30 meters away" etc He was dead set making me out as a hoon. Yes I did acclerate, (just prior to the Amber) I was behind a crewcab with a boat on a trailer, say approx 23 footer, this vehicle was through the green light, with it going Amber as the hitch was crossing the line, as he was 2/3rds in the turning lane and I could see hm going there I had already adjusted my approch (while green) It was safer to keep going than to stop (wet road) But hey heaven forbid they have any clue about physics. The light went red as I was more than half way through the intersection with my speed having been previously reduced by the CC/trailer going down town main street with light rail road works. If I was doing seventy and got the last millisecond of the Amber I would understand. The Officer also tried to put the quilts on me saying what If I ran someone over!!!

Now that confused me and I pulled him up on it, asking in which direction they would be coming from as I didnt get the statement, he said "across", to which I said, so they would be crossing againts a red light and Im only going through a green changed to yellow...he just rolled his eyes.

Remind me to tell you about my good mate that was "caught" speeding over a bridge. It was a stitch up and it took more than 12 months to go away. I say go away becasue that is what literally happend. The Police and its representives tried all sorts of BS and in the end they (Police) just stopped pursuing it, with no fromal retraction or actual court judgement, even though he did show up to court more than a couple times.

I was thinking how the hell did he come to the fact that I "floored" it??? with 250lb rear springs and well above 100% antisquat, there is no way the rear squated down under any accleration, especially from a 50 something all wheel kw vehicle hahahahahaha
and another case of revenue raising

I agree 100% with what you have said here Matt, and hope Gregg takes it on board. I will say, that Im one of those types that prefers to deal with a person, even if just an email, rather than click and pay. I do use Ebay and Amazon, but for all my auto parts and saw parts, tools etc it usually means some Q's back and forth anyway to confirm stuff and then I just get them to do the shipping.

Its funny how many of the US guys loath USPS, but when compared to other countries postal services, it shines in my books. Some US companies will not use it, no matter what. That leaves Fedex, UPS etc which I have always found more expensive and always seem to have to go get from the depot, or arange a second delivery...

Best click and shop to date though was some starrett gear from Amazon. Ordered Wednesday night, delivered Friday!!! yes 2 days and the stupid thing was it was one order for 4 items....yep I got three seperate deliveries on the friday hahahahaha how could something so efficent, be so inefficent??????
I always ask to send using USPS,but I never had anthing turn up in that short time ,not even from an ozzie service.......except from Matt


Serg's doesn't, it's bog stock in the pump department, but you'd pick mine in an instant :monkey:

carbon friendly too....:laugh::laugh:

Sergi's ute would flog mine in the bush all else being equal, his is nicely setup with the right goodies.
 
Wish me luck fella's, huge cleanup going on here ATM, SWMBO is on the warpath.

Just sitting down to brekky eggs but if you don't hear from me after this morning you know I've ended up at the tip in with the 'green waste and recylables' after we dump a load of old fence posts and wire. :laugh:

Listen,, i'd love to stay and play but I need to go and do some stuff here with the family so bye bye for now.
 
Note how come your not in that pic Neil AWOL I suppose McBob.

BOB, leave Neil alone. this is an Australian title that I had the pleasure of arranging and organising the timber, money etc. For this event, I had a few select past and present racers that were judges and officials for the weekend. Our friend Neil, was one the selected few for the weekend. Official Judge and chief steward I do believe.

As for being 'awol' - Bob where were you oh legendary racer who has competed and beaten everyone. If your as far travelled as you say, then you should have no problems in naming all competitors in the photo.

I'll give you a hint, two of them are no longer competing one the circuit, one one of them has a trophy cabinet of saws (all of which are winnings that he has acquired) over the past 30-40 years of racing.

Gee your a little late rising and shining Deano ................ reread the comments Dean they have travelled to see little old Bob they even got a free cuppa when they arrived.

Well another point did I say I had beaten anyone git over it Dean you startin' to sound like last years paper or flag waver shouldn't you be out the back practicing or sumthing
 
I am not disagreeing with you or the facts




you were driving a diesel, does it over fuel at full throttle and low rmp by any chance?

Nope, in fact I recently had the engine fully rebuilt and the IP fully checked and set by specialist. He is well known to set them on the low side of the peramiters for safety and fuel economy. My egts are well within the safe range, even when giving it a foot full with a trailer on and going up an incline......no actual response or change in speed, just a very slow increase on the egts.

What is "low rmp"
