  1. RACV members have received a 5% discount when we presented our membership cards at a GG Ampol servo. I received an email today from RACV saying this will cease as from 21 September. No details wht.
  2. I only drive 10 km per day, 5 days a week, rarely more than that. Usually 50-60 kph, occasionally 70 kph, all on bitumen roads. I don't think I will have many more years driving, so the old Astra will do me.

  4. Give me an old car any day. A friend had a Mercedes. The tyres were $1000 each and had to be filled with nitrogen, not air. My sons Mazda CX-6 diesel Hybrid SUV tyres cost $550 each. Tyres for my 2004 Holden Astra start at $129 each, a number of brands at $189 each. And the techno gizmos to go wrong. My son's SUV has electric tyre pressure sensors and an electric oil gauge. For people too lazy to lift the bonnet. The only dipstick is the one behind the wheel. Even has a wiper maintenance mode for changing wiper blades.

  7. The knork is a combination knife/fork with a sharpened side to cut food and eat it. It was developed for Horatio Lord Nelson who had lost his right hand and allowed him to eat without having his food cut up for him. The original one had a knife blade attached to a fork with a screw.

    Quickies part 2

    You are having a bad day. Don't feel bad, it could be worse. Imagine running into a wall with a boner, and breaking your nose first.

    She has gone.

    Ben Carroll has said if Labor is re-elected, they will take care of Victoria's potholes. According to the news at 6pm, they are planning to use prisoners in road gangs.
  19. If you like old car photos, there is a flickr.com member from Germany who has taken hundreds, and many plane photos as well. Here is a link to his photostream, and a few of his photos. https://www.flickr.com/photos/56123975@N05/with/55496851193
  20. This belongs in the Gripes thread, it has nothing to do with the two party system or Australian elections. But I agree, the overriding demand to do everything on your phone is a real pain. Now you can get your drivers licence on your phone. Soon it will be the only way, like it or not. Not happy, Jan.
  21. Australian boxer Tony Mundine has died, aged 75. It is believed he had a heart attack and couldn't be revived.
  22. Donald Trump has two parts to his brain - left and right. The left half, there's nothing right. The right half, there's nothing left.
