I got an email from customer service at Zip last night and another one this morning, both are invoices. But... I haven't bought anything from them. Anyone else get something like this? :confused:

Almost as good as the guy with his home made helicopter! http://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/-/world/8823548/indian-flying-car-that-looks-back-to-the-future/

I was in town this morning looking for a spark plug for a mate's motor bike. I didn't end up finding it but I'd parked outside a replacement windscreen shop even though I won't be fitting my screen any time soon, I thought I'd pop in and ask how much a tube of Urethane was worth. Turns out...

Our 12 1/2 year old Lab Buddy passed away this morning. Truly gutted...

Finally, after moving to our new compound, building that bastard deck outside and hanging up a zillion pictures, I'm free to work on the BOSS again. The interior is next and first thing I'm going to remove is the front screen as it's cracked all to hell. I finally sourced a new screen in...

I haven't been able to get onto VetteMOD for a few weeks, whenever I tried to load it, I'd get this: The Saudi's block any porn sites, booze/drug sites etc and it's not uncommon for sites to get blocked by default, like anything with "Middlessex" in it. I emailed the clowns on that page...

Don't worry, I hammered the bastards on CF and DC (before VM was around) and tell the story all over again any time someone asks where's a good place to get calipers etc...

It took a couple of months for Lone Star to actually dispatch my calipers but when they did, they turned up in about 3 weeks. But, they forgot to include the pads and new flexible lines I ordered at the same time. The pissed me around with various excuses but finally sent the pads, but no...

Before I bought my 4 new calipers, I looked at just buying the sleeves to save the shipping costs of the weight of 4 calipers to Saudi. I found a place that was prepared to sell me just the sleeves but in the end decided that I couldn't trust any of the machine shops out here to do the job...

Hmmm... my 4 x pitted, non-sleeved calipers went into the bin :huh:

I replaced all my calipers with rebuilt units from Lone Star. They were SS sleeved but with OEM lip seals. They worked at first but the car still wasn't drivable so sat there while I continued working on the car. One day I noticed that two of the calipers were leaking and had it explained to...

Since moving to our new compound, I haven't done any work on the BOSS except get furious over the cat paw prints and scratching all over it, kids names "written" in the dust and person or persons unknown rubbing the dust off the glass so (I assume) they can peek in at the crappy interior. I...

You should see when it rains out here. It only happens for a few days every year, sometimes not even that. No storm water system, to speak of, in place so the roads get a lovely build of slippery crap. As soon as the rain hits, it's mayhem - the roads are like ice. Fun to watch, scary to be...

Try smoking them up for a few minutes, see if that improves their traction. Don't forget to post the pics :lol:
