Idea behind it is that the shit paper acts like a protective barrier , has same properties as a face mask. Another quality idea coming out of wonderful country of China.Quote:

This is with an unloaded car, not towing, no spare wheel on the rear, 1/8th fuel in the main tank and 1/4 in the sub tank 2 adults and two kids under 7.
I'll be looking at new rotors and pads, potentially even better calipers in the future too.
Yep. What was the pedal like? I find when I have to jump on the brakes I just about go to the floor. I developed a habit of pumping the brakes now. I even do it out of habit in the Mazda sometimes.Quote:

A couple of lucky ones, wasn't a big hit, had the touge on so no damage to me (got his details and will have a look underneath tonight) and wasn't driving the Clubsport. Had only parked it up on Tuesday night.Quote:

The pedal felt pretty firm and didn't go to the floor but the car just slows. You can see that the front end doesn't dip at all.Quote:

Due to my wife’s condition, Specialist has recommended we cancel our trip to Sunshine Coast booked for next week and paid for months ago. No refund on flights or accommodation as it was a ‘special’ deal.
We’ve got Travel Insurance and pandemics are excluded in our policy (and almost every other travel insurance).
Now don’t start me on my superannuation disaster.
Have you tried flogging them off somewhere? It would only cost the buyer the name change for the ticket? Might be a way you can get even just a smidge back from your flights?Quote:

Nah, checked with family but no takers. Only option they gave me was reschedule the outgoing flights for $110, no reschedule on the accommodation or return flights. Just cut my losses and cancelled, bigger things to worry about at the moment.Quote:

That sucks Jack.
I have flights and accommodation booked for Singapore in August, hoping things will be sorted by then as both non refundable and travel insurance doesn’t cover it.
I feel your pain.
Pandemic is an 'Act of God'
What a cop out.
PM says don't travel but airlines say travel or lose...
Insurance says not our problem.
We are victims as well.
Health insurance said if we travel against advice they won't cover us.
Good luck Tony, should have settled down by then I hope.
Did you book with credit card?Quote:

Walk into coles for some eggs. Scenes come to mind from some recent zombie apocalypse movies.
Cleaning aisle, two chinese families scratching each others faces off over a box of OMO. Not far from there queue to Aldi opening at 8.30 extended out of the shopping complex onto the car park.
Honestly wish I'd stayed home. We're in for some dark times ahead folks.
Meh! They are in for some dark times. Not me. The people who are fighting and arguing. I find it funny and just point and laugh at them. They soon realise how much of a dick they look like and stop.Quote:

Didn't get to see a Grand Prix but still managed to pick up a cold or flu.
Rang doctors and they said they are not seeing people with flu like symptoms and have to visit clinic at hospital.
The clinic apparently are only seeing people who have been overseas or have had contact with Covid 19 infected person.
Email from work saying anybody with cold or flu symptoms need doctors clearance before coming to work.
Guess I am working from home.
Haha what a gee up! On Friday I thought I was going to die from the flu but woke up on Saturday feeling 100% fine.Quote:

I am feeling like crap, running a temp and have been a line outside for over an hour to be tested. Just want to go to bed.
That sounds nasty mate, hope you feel better soon.Quote:

Rebooked Melb, bris, Mt Isa, either 5 hr wait for mine shuttle, book a car, or get someone to drive out and get me. have to wait and see if the shuttle from Mt isa is full or not - going to be a long day.
