Thats a good way to fail a warrant AND have it on record as failing, if your car isn't squeaky clean.

ya'll need a Eds Autos imo. Ed owns.
Tonys used to be who I went to for tires, specifically the one on Lambton Quay cause there was a guy there that liked rotors and had a RX7 like mine (therefore I could trust him to look after it). Anyway, that guy moved on to another job and since then its been pretty crap to the point where I don't even consider using them. last week I was in a situation where the ease of access to tonys made it the best option. I had two wheels with worn street tires on them, and two semi slicks to go on those wheels. I dropped them off and they said they could do the tire swap for me. I figured just asking for two (provided) tires to be swapped onto two (provided) rims would be a pretty safe bet. welp. I got a call about an hour later saying the semi slicks have a ruined bead and wont seal properly, so it cant be completed. Fair enough, they are old tires. I said I'd pick them up at the end of the day. I went in at 4.30 to collect, and they had one semi slick mounted on one wheel (but unable to be inflated) and they had the other rim with no tire on it. Well, that's great. Then when I asked if they could chuck the street tire back on the empty rim, the guy ummed and aahed about it until I said I need it with a tire so I can move my MR2 around. fair enough that I didn't pay them for any of it, but if you can't complete a job at least return it all to how it was before you started.

Also, this fire possibly being deliberately lit grinds my gears. it was fucking massive when we drove past yesterday, and a huge chunk of the hill is now burnt and an eyesore.

Another day spent correcting the logic flaws in my former business partners software design logic:
#1 The only way to figure out if someone is supposed to pay GST on purchases is a complex process, which requires them to have an address record in the database. #2 Applying for membership is process which requires payment, and therefore GST to be calculated. #3 Person has no address record in database until membership is paid for. This is from the guy who went around all the customers of ours after he was 'expelled' claiming (along with the fact I have a mental illness), that he was the programming genius and the software would fall apart without him. |

You suck at summarising.
It's not about who pays for what, it's about what's expected in exchange for funding. Whatever the IRIB's motivation is for paying for a couple of NZ journalist's to come visit, when those journalists return to NZ they'll tell the story they want to tell. Local businesses on the other hand will want the story told that will get the most people listening to the "And the story was brought to you by Acme Co." part of the story. Even if that means bumping the PM so we can hear some rubgy head lament some late night indiscretions.

Perfect example. My Jeep ... its built in 1973, to 1973 safety regulations. No seatbelts, no auto aligning breaks, no brake booster, no clutch booster, no power sterring. By all accounts ... its a driving NIGHTMARE .. with a side order of "FUCK YOU" However ... these are design intents, and stock to the vehicle. By all accounts I would instantly fail a warrant at Vehicle Gestapo Testing, because simply my brakes don't stop straight ... which given the method used to adjust these and the type of brakes (drum), its virtually impossible. If it was I would have already done it, however its neither financially viable or beneficial in the long run. With myself behind the wheel, and knowledge of how the car shifts and moves during normal driving ... its perfectly fine and safe. Its not a case of "not wanting to be legal" its a case of those guys get to be right pricks doing it ... and VT does it worse than any other place when it comes to passing a warrant. The fact one guy didnt mark it down to be certed is more an anomoly than it is a regularity.

WGMG is that I often read threads from bottom, then upwards not the other way round. So when there's been a few more discussions I tend to get lost in all the information, and have to backtrack to the previous page and re-read everything. That's a time waster right there...

Bluetooth enabled + close enough to car while inside house + car alarm enabled = trying to answer phone, while disabling bluetooth and finding car keys to turn off car alarm which is deafening the call.

You do realize that pretty much every single one of those people don't actually give a shit about the internet, right? ie: it's not actually important in their life.
