Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time

He might be well served by getting a totally independent mechanical opinion on the damage and cause from a different workshop. I imagine the mechanic who screwed up is going to do all he can to avoid coughing up for a new donk or a rebuild (like just blaming it on the ZD30).

I spoke to Nick yeasty and by the sounds of it, the pin has dropped. I don't know what the mechanic work has been done but I doubt the mech could be at fault for the pin dropping. But I don't know the full story yet. So it's just speculation at the moment. Not what Nic needed. Not what anyone needs...

My mates brothers car went bang yesterday too. He's in the NT though on holiday and now he has to cut it short and tow his car and camper home.
I had about 15 cops at my place today...
It seems I said I was going to go and shoot everyone at vcat.... had to nervously laugh?
Idiot I was dealing with on the phone just wasted a lot of the police time.
Might go down to the station and thank them for being so good about it.. neighbours thought it was good entertainment.

Yeah all I said after dealing with these bozos was gee great I going to go and shoot myself obviously in a joke but this bloke at vcat is an anal butt head..
The police called me first and left a message asking me to call ASAP and that I was not in trouble they were just worried... When I called them back they said that the bloke said I was going to shoot everyone at vcat... I walked out the front and there were cops at either end of the street waiting to move in..
After only a minute of talking to the sergeant he called everyone off except for 2 officer's who after a short talk realised there time had been wasted.
I told them to speak to a snr Sargeant I am mates with and they said they did not have to as there are a few cops down at epping that know me and as the call went out over the station they said no way..
All a bit freaky! !!
I guess it was good in a way if he had called in concern that you were going to off yourself (joke or not). Not sure how that escalated to you going postal at vcat though...
Glad it's all sorted and probably good you know a few people in the force at a time like that![]()
