So I have seen but I thought it would be just as quick to use the winch. But it all depends on the circumstances I suppose. Food for thought.Quote:

2 more fishing rods.......but I didn't get to the front door quick enough :)
I'm out the back and only heard, "have you bought more fishing rods"? :(
Wanted a cheap 4.8 rivet setting tool went to three stores in the area, none to be found. Ended up buying an air one, couldn't find a cheap on of those either, at SuperCheap (?) Isn't dual action but set SS 4.8 rivets pretty well.
Bought my first ever swag, Oztrail Mitchell King Single for $100....... gotta love Gumtree
Bought a catch can, 2 by 6 way Baintech fuse blocks and the materials to build my rear door table, should keep me occupied for a couple of weekends.
Tough Dog return to centre steering dampener and a Carter 4600 lift pump. Told the mrs, they were "needed" and "cheap at half the price" :)
Send the rtc back mate and get something better. I am on my second warranty TD rtc and it's starting to fail too. Utter garbage it is...Quote:

So I took it and its doing the exact same thing. Leaking. Plus if you don't fit these exactly spot on, your car will pull to either side. RTCs do absolutely nothing for the steering wheel wobbles too, just incase your wondering.Quote:

Dang it, I'm a lil disappointed. Not with what you said, but the fact that's me all over.
Went a bit mad today and bought a Ram mount for my iPad, dual Narva USB socket and a Runva 11XP. Now just to put them in :D
I bought a six pack. Damn it was hard work at the gym today. haha
Fixed it for you RosscoQuote:

Bought a new tent, well tried to but my $100 voucher had issues so they are going to process it all Monday. What I'm looking at is the companion EXO pro 430. It's a turbo tent similar to the black wolf ones, but lots cheaper as they are 50% off :) also slightly better as they are actually canvas with a PVC floor.
Brought video sunglasses. Got 1440x1080 HD quality @50fps
PWR radiator for my GU td42 build for $100. Scored!
got some 15mm coil spacers to replace the crappy rubber coil seats that keep shifting and some front shock tower extentions from superior.
Ordered a new XROX bar for the GU.
Can't wait to see her wearing it.Quote:

Having lost that many tools I decided to give myself an early birthday present. [not telling]
Now I have them under lock and key in a tamper proof cupboard. Picked up the 1/2" set for $145 so a bit of a bargain
Good for you..Quote:

Gave that part souq website a crack, bought genuine striker plates for all doors and new front door hinges for a very very very discounted price. At nissan just these will retail over $1000, got them for less than 1/4 of the price.
Did you use your VIN, doesn't recognise mine and only mentions Y62 models, does this site cater for y61Quote:

Just made changing gears hard
I once tried browsing that site and had no luck, but the other day I put a part number of one of the parts I was after into google and that website popped up, showing the appropriate section for my car. So saved to favourites so I don't forget!Quote:
