My usual route is coorparoo, onto pacific mwy. Turbot st turnoff, then follow it all the way to gips st then turn left and then up to gregory tce then turn left. But sometimes I freak and think that im going the wrong way and make a wrong turn.

sounds like you just need to chill... the city is dead at night.

Just look up google maps, print it out or something.

Hmm, to come or not? That is the question.

I dont have a gps. So I would get lost as soon as I enter the city. Epic fail is epic.

:/ the city isnt that hard

If I can do it week in and week out without a GPS, anyone can. Just print out some google maps. Pull over if required and memorise that sh*t.

Branno, if you have a GPS and you take a wrong turn it will figure it out and re-route you to the right way..... Just drive, follow the road and relax. Or get someone to drive behind.

If you are scared of driving you might want to not drive so much and put the rest of us in danger by not focusing on driving, but everything else...

On another note, I realise why the boys in blue like to watch over us sometimes. Was just reading up on the Anti-Hoon law Legislation. It states "Parking up: when hoons gather in large numbers, look at each others cars, network and

arrange illegal behaviours."

Although we dont gather in large number, I think that they believe there is something fishy going on.

Serious. I have never really read up on it, but "Parking up"? LOL. Well we technically don't classify as "parking up" even in a large group becasue we don't staisfy all their criteria in the definition. We have to "arrange illegal behaviour" firstly.

Also, how can they prove that we are 'arranging illegal behaviour'?

It was just something interesting that I was looking up because victoria are making their anti-hoon laws even more strict.

I love their description for a stereotypical hoon.

"The slightly rebellious, sunglass clad, ever so cool dude, usually spotted behind the

wheel of something special, his arm mysteriously jutting out the window, usually

with a smile a mile wide – he has an abnormally heavy right foot and it is believed

gasoline flows freely in his veins.

They even specify them to either be behind the wheel of a holden or ford sedan or a 'high performance japanese models'

Found it quite an entertaining read.

It's just funny how they used said definition in their paper and said "impressive definition". How do they expect someone to take such a thing seriously when they use something like that as a reference.

Besides, we're not hoons when it comes to our meets so the cops can pass by all they want.

In all the time we have met at the loop I can recall the Police coming in there about 3 times. Twice they drove through and did nothing. Once they stopped and asked what we were doing. I replied catching up for coffee and a chat(as there were a few with hot drinks in hand). They told us we couldn't meet here and then looked at all the cars. Everyone was parked in a parking spot between all the lines so there was nothing they could do as we were all behaving ourselves. When one of them asked me why we meet where we do I replied because we wanted to get away from the morons who hang around milton Maccas doing stupid stuff. Plus I told them we didn't want such behaviour or we'd kick the offenders out. They got in the car and drove off and haven't seen them back since....

we actually have a legal right to lawful/peaceful assembly. As previously posted, they'd have a hard time proving we were planning "unlawful activity".

Most they can do is give what is known as a move on direction, but for that certain criteria must be met and without getting long winded about it we don't even come close.

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      Check your fuel lines to the filter. The factory clamps are designed for quick removal but sometime come lose enough to allow air. I replaced all mine with 'worm drive' clamps.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
