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

I should have been clearer, that super quick delivery from Amazon was UPS I think (definitely a couirer not USPS). In saying that I have used USPS over 150 times, with 100% success and normally within 2 weeks. 99% of the time I specifiy Priority International and pay the extra for it. One thing that helps is clear, concice communication. Ask for dates when shipped and tracking numbers. If you are clear and dont stuff sellers around, they usually are the same in return.

Perhaps he is working for one or more of these fine gentleman, can anyone guess any of these guys.

hint,,,,, 2005 State of Oregin Post Ripping Teams at Wauchope NSW.

Great pic mate, yup, that would of been a year prior to me starting on the racing scene.

Looking at the faces there from queensland I know all but one. Gavin and Jason are starting to race again, #### and Dave don't race much these days, the heavier bearded bloke, his name escapes me atm, he hasn't raced for a wile now. The one I don't recognize is the curly headed one?

we raced up here again yesterday, at Proston behind the pub, great day with the weather holding off with the rain. Had a chat with the publican this ave and they said they where very happy with the crowd that turned up. There was some fresh faces in the crowd and they said they are now going to make it a yearly thing to show up for the race

Cold wet miserable day here.

Fun weekend - I had to buy a trailer so that I can move my saws... hmm I think this CAD thing is getting a little out of hand :monkey:

Note how come your not in that pic Neil AWOL

McBob.

Well mr Bob, I was controlling proceedings that weekend, those in the areana call us judges, I believe I may of even been chief steward as well that week end.

You ever done any race day judgeing or ever been requested to be a national judge controling the best competitors in the country....

A bit hard to be selected in a state team if your judgeing the entire event.

Don't worry big boy, I can help you name them if you want.

great pics Splitpost, Looking at your pics, the timber, the earth, the plant life....only colours you see in Oz. Is that a cypress behind your wood pile?

Rudolf, either you have ALOT of saws or just a few really, really big ones :msp_biggrin:

Being myself (Some selfdoubt and some the inquisitve type) I ran some numbers from my little traffic infringement. At 45km/h, which I would not have been going faster than as I was behind a crew cab with 20-25 foot boat on trailer, that was slowing to turn left, I would have been travelling at 12.5 m/sec. The police officer claimed I floored it from 30 meters my side of the intersection. If a amber light stays amber for 3 seconds, I would not have been more than one car length over the first solid white line. From my memory the light went red as I was pretty much on the other side of the lights. Now the intersection is 3 lanes wide each direction that crosses the direction I was going, plus the middle island.

Any idea how wide an average lane is? because that would be 6x that plus the island....Sure there would need to be a few things checked, like time of amber etc. Im happy to admit that the light turned amber before I crossed my first solid white line, but I think it is debatable whether my car was physically cabable of achiving the alleged "performance" of said officer...

Sad thing it is actually easier to pay the $330 than spend the time/money fighting it. Heck it costs $40 just for a copy of the recording the officers "may" have been doing at the time.

On a better note, I Just had my JBL speakers re foamed and decided to dust of my NAD304 and have been using a NAD iPod dock to stream Triple J while I procrastonate through my assignment.
