I went into *semi* retirement when I sold the business and eventually
moved out here, and went into full time retirement when I turned 60
which was 3 and a bit years ago.
"soliciting for work" would involve general advertising which I have

tight arse which is why I threw the hundred buck fee in to test him. Had
he grown a pair and decided to take me up on it I would have done it for free, and he could have learned all about me while he was here.
But as we all know, he wasn't interested. Either way, if he was it would have been between me and *him* and is none of *your* fucking business.
Anyone else? Right, then shut the fuck up you clueless juvenile.

I taught *apprentices*. The mechanics courses were developed by a few
of my colleagues. And, no, I never set the curriculum, that was done
centrally. Initially state but federally from ~2000. My role was
identifying competencies in specific areas and some curriculum
writing. That was a *federal* project that was disbursed out to
various colleges. Every teacher does that sort of thing in some form
or other so, not a boast.
Alvery claims to have owned 4 expensive cars in a row.ÿ But, for

No, not a boast, statements of fact.
So is having worked for NASA in the distant past. So why is one a
boast and the other not?
What are boasts are Daryl's claims of owning Porches, Benzs and the
like - time expired all and saved from the wholesale scrappers.
Owning an elderly Marc and Porsche is not exactly the same as boasting
of owning a new one.
strutting around *pretending* is.
Clocky claims to be such as skilled mechanic that he can change a

So you could change a clutch in 26 minutes too? That's more of a boast
than having a job with NASA along with hundreds of others with some
aptitude for electronics.
By your attitude, when anybody who isn't in your little club says
anything anything about themselves, they have to be boasting, however
your friends say anything, no matter how boastful, that's OK. What a
twisted philosophy you have.

you can't change biology. he didn't make himself smarter, just more

of it
Being smart (or intelligent) is the natural ability to learn, reason,
and solve problems. Being educated, on the other hand, means having systematically acquired formal knowledge and skills. While it's true
they often overlap and support one another, a brilliant person may lack formal schooling, and a highly educated person may lack practical
judgment. Bottom line, intelligence and education are not the same thing!

thanks. saved me the trouble. our intellectual level is what we're born with, and it can't change. someone with (say) an IQ of 125 can't make it
go to 160, no matter how much they study and learn, for example.

Being smart (or intelligent) is the natural ability to learn, reason,

systematically acquired formal knowledge and skills. While it's true

lack formal schooling, and a highly educated person may lack

Being smart (or intelligent) is the natural ability to learn,
reason, and solve problems. Being educated, on the other hand, means
having systematically acquired formal knowledge and skills. While
it's true they often overlap and support one another, a brilliant
person may lack formal schooling, and a highly educated person may
lack practical judgment. Bottom line, intelligence and education are
not the same thing!
thanks. saved me the trouble. our intellectual level is what we're
born with, and it can't change. someone with (say) an IQ of 125 can't
make it go to 160, no matter how much they study and learn, for example. >>>
rubbish
Most people never realise their full potential, they get to some level
acceptable to them, and decide that it's too much trouble to go further.
that's beside the point. but are you claiming someone with an IQ of 125
can push it to 160 and turn into an Einstein? if so you're wrong.

No, not a boast, statements of fact.

What are boasts are Daryl's claims of owning Porches, Benzs and the
like - time expired all and saved from the wholesale scrappers.
Owning an elderly Marc and Porsche is not exactly the same as
boasting of owning a new one.
strutting around *pretending* is.

So you could change a clutch in 26 minutes too? That's more of a
boast than having a job with NASA along with hundreds of others with
some aptitude for electronics.
By your attitude, when anybody who isn't in your little club says
anything anything about themselves, they have to be boasting, however
your friends say anything, no matter how boastful, that's OK. What a
twisted philosophy you have.

Unless you are born with some sort of disability, you have the power
to be smart, and good at something, what you need is willpower.
ps. you say you're smarter than me, but I don't see a lot ofHere's just one piece of evidence, I bought a Toyota not an MG.
evidence of it
Being smart (or intelligent) is the natural ability to learn, reason,
and solve problems. Being educated, on the other hand, means having
systematically acquired formal knowledge and skills. While it's true
they often overlap and support one another, a brilliant person may
lack formal schooling, and a highly educated person may lack
practical judgment. Bottom line, intelligence and education are not
the same thing!
thanks. saved me the trouble. our intellectual level is what we're
born with, and it can't change. someone with (say) an IQ of 125 can't
make it go to 160, no matter how much they study and learn, for example.
get to some level acceptable to them, and decide that it's too much
trouble to go further.

evidence of it
Being smart (or intelligent) is the natural ability to learn,
reason, and solve problems. Being educated, on the other hand,
means having systematically acquired formal knowledge and skills.
While it's true they often overlap and support one another, a
brilliant person may lack formal schooling, and a highly educated
person may lack practical judgment. Bottom line, intelligence and
education are not the same thing!
thanks. saved me the trouble. our intellectual level is what we're
born with, and it can't change. someone with (say) an IQ of 125
can't make it go to 160, no matter how much they study and learn,
for example.
rubbish
Most people never realise their full potential, they get to some
level acceptable to them, and decide that it's too much trouble to go
further.
that's beside the point. but are you claiming someone with an IQ of
125 can push it to 160 and turn into an Einstein? if so you're wrong.
genius out of a moron though.

unfortunately born as a dullard, what you are depends on what you
want to be, and how much effort you are willing to put into it.
wrong! there's no way I could ever be an airline pilot. I don't have
what it takes. we are all limited in what we can do by our
physiology, which includes out innate intellectual ability.
I was unable to be a pilot because I was slightly short sighted. The airforce in the late 50s still had a lot of WWII pilots and were
over-run with teenaged boys applying to be pilots so were very choosy.
There was no possible way of doing it privately since neither I or my
family had the money for that.
I did get a glider pilot's licence through the Air Cadets, and have
flown a number of planes (with a qualified pilot). Never got a power
plane licence, at first couldn't afford it, then didn't have the time,
now being diabetic, CASA won't give me a licence anyway.

Exactly, welding exhausts isn't generally what mechanics do, if it was a dealership they would replace, not repair.

thanks. saved me the trouble. our intellectual level is what we're
born with, and it can't change. someone with (say) an IQ of 125
can't make it go to 160, no matter how much they study and learn,
for example.
rubbish
Most people never realise their full potential, they get to some
level acceptable to them, and decide that it's too much trouble to
go further.
that's beside the point. but are you claiming someone with an IQ of
125 can push it to 160 and turn into an Einstein? if so you're wrong.

The son of some friends of ours gave no indication of being
clever, but he worked at it, got to university, and became a
geologist.
you can't change biology. he didn't make himself smarter, just
more educated and qualified as a geologist
Unless you are born with some sort of disability, you have the

evidence of it
Being smart (or intelligent) is the natural ability to learn,
reason, and solve problems. Being educated, on the other hand,
means having systematically acquired formal knowledge and skills.
While it's true they often overlap and support one another, a
brilliant person may lack formal schooling, and a highly educated
person may lack practical judgment. Bottom line, intelligence and
education are not the same thing!
unfortunately born as a dullard, what you are depends on what you
want to be, and how much effort you are willing to put into it.
wrong! there's no way I could ever be an airline pilot. I don't have
what it takes. we are all limited in what we can do by our
physiology, which includes out innate intellectual ability.
no. I'm well aware of my limitations. but who knows, maybe I could have
got a pilots licence if I really tried, but I would never have got a job
as an airline pilot. I'm quite sure of that!
I was unable to be a pilot because I was slightly short sighted. The
airforce in the late 50s still had a lot of WWII pilots and were over-
run with teenaged boys applying to be pilots so were very choosy.
There was no possible way of doing it privately since neither I or my
family had the money for that.
I did get a glider pilot's licence through the Air Cadets, and have
flown a number of planes (with a qualified pilot). Never got a power
plane licence, at first couldn't afford it, then didn't have the time,
now being diabetic, CASA won't give me a licence anyway.

thanks. saved me the trouble. our intellectual level is what we're
born with, and it can't change. someone with (say) an IQ of 125
can't make it go to 160, no matter how much they study and learn,
for example.
rubbish
Most people never realise their full potential, they get to some
level acceptable to them, and decide that it's too much trouble to
go further.
that's beside the point. but are you claiming someone with an IQ of
125 can push it to 160 and turn into an Einstein? if so you're wrong.

That pics has been mentioned before, no boasting in it, just old
being replaced by new, nothing more than that.
Also, most of the car pix I've posted have been to silence the
yapping of the Merrimu Madman who routinely yapped that I didn't
own the cars I'd mentioned. That's aside from the one I posted of
the broken down Merkin on the back of a truck. Reallly "boasting*
that.
Anyways, it doesn't matter now that Richo has blown it.
what you would say, you're that predictable.
Xeno and the

mate's contentions. Like I said, you don't be a qualified mechanic to
weld an exhaust, I've even done it myself.
Qualified or not qualified wasn't the point. The point that was made was that the exhaust *was not worth welding*. More about the why. This is because of the nature of Felix' driving habits - short trips - which
lead to a buildup of acids in the exhaust system. These acids corrode
the inside out of mufflers and pipes long before any signs appear on the outside. Once they appear on the outside, and specifically on the *underside*, that tells you all you need to know - it's going to be
rotten all the way through - don't bother welding it. The putty patch
Felix had put on the muffler was the easiest and best *short term* fix
at that time. If it were my car, I'd have stuck a new cat back exhaust system on it, preferably of stainless, because the car was low mileage
and in good nick - and kept the car. Felix wanted shed of it and I get
where Felix is coming from, I like new cars too. In fact the last used
car we bought was a TW Magna. Been all new cars here since then.

Which is not something you knew until after you took your car along to
an exhaust fitter, and had you come here and it was discovered that it

dabbed silicone on it the same as the exhaust fitter did.

which lead to a buildup of acids in the exhaust system. These acids
corrode the inside out of mufflers and pipes long before any signs
appear on the outside. Once they appear on the outside, and
specifically on the *underside*, that tells you all you need to know -
it's going to be rotten all the way through - don't bother welding it.
The putty patch Felix had put on the muffler was the easiest and best
*short term* fix at that time. If it were my car, I'd have stuck a new
cat back exhaust system on it, preferably of stainless, because the
car was low mileage and in good nick - and kept the car. Felix wanted
shed of it and I get where Felix is coming from, I like new cars too.
In fact the last used car we bought was a TW Magna. Been all new cars

no. I'm well aware of my limitations. but who knows, maybe I could
have got a pilots licence if I really tried, but I would never have
got a job as an airline pilot. I'm quite sure of that!
A lot of being a pilot is training your reflexes, Most of the time,
flying an airliner is not that difficult these days. Before takeoff, the details of fuel, weight etc are fed into the computer along with the
route. After takeoff, the autopilot does most of the work, if you are
above 25000 feet you HAVE to be on autopilot, and, in most
circumstances, the plane can land itself. What the pilot gets paid for
is knowing what to do if things go wrong, and being able to react to the problem quickly and accurately.

have got a pilots licence if I really tried, but I would never have
got a job as an airline pilot. I'm quite sure of that!
A lot of being a pilot is training your reflexes, Most of the time,
flying an airliner is not that difficult these days. Before takeoff,
the details of fuel, weight etc are fed into the computer along with
the route. After takeoff, the autopilot does most of the work, if you
are above 25000 feet you HAVE to be on autopilot, and, in most
circumstances, the plane can land itself. What the pilot gets paid
for is knowing what to do if things go wrong, and being able to react
to the problem quickly and accurately.
I know 4 airline pilots, all of them are intelligent people but
without testing there is nothing about them that suggests that they
have high IQ's, they just seem like normal people.

by IQ tests, which determine where participants fall on the IQ scale.
The tests that they used to hand out are largely discredited, some
people had a talent for them so got a high IQ, but it didn't mean that
they were more intelligent.
yes they are not infallible, as I've previously said. IQ results can be skewed by education level, aptitude, practice in doing similar tests,
and so on. but IQ is not the crux of the matter. this discussion is
about your false contention that anyone can achieve what ever they want
if they're just determined enough and work hard enough at it. as I've
been trying to make you understand, we are ALL limited by our innate abilities, whether they be intellectual, physical, or just a talent for something. no matter hard hard I try I will never be able to sing like

mate's contentions. Like I said, you don't be a qualified mechanic
to weld an exhaust, I've even done it myself.
Qualified or not qualified wasn't the point. The point that was made
was that the exhaust *was not worth welding*. More about the why.
This is because of the nature of Felix' driving habits - short trips
- which lead to a buildup of acids in the exhaust system. These acids
corrode the inside out of mufflers and pipes long before any signs
appear on the outside. Once they appear on the outside, and
specifically on the *underside*, that tells you all you need to know
- it's going to be rotten all the way through - don't bother welding
it. The putty patch Felix had put on the muffler was the easiest and
best *short term* fix at that time. If it were my car, I'd have stuck
a new cat back exhaust system on it, preferably of stainless, because
the car was low mileage and in good nick - and kept the car. Felix
wanted shed of it and I get where Felix is coming from, I like new
cars too. In fact the last used car we bought was a TW Magna. Been
all new cars here since then.
You seem to have an uncanny ability (well self perceived ability) to

wrong! there's no way I could ever be an airline pilot. I don't
have what it takes. we are all limited in what we can do by our
physiology, which includes out innate intellectual ability.
no. I'm well aware of my limitations. but who knows, maybe I could
have got a pilots licence if I really tried, but I would never have
got a job as an airline pilot. I'm quite sure of that!
A lot of being a pilot is training your reflexes, Most of the time,
flying an airliner is not that difficult these days. Before takeoff,
the details of fuel, weight etc are fed into the computer along with
the route. After takeoff, the autopilot does most of the work, if you
are above 25000 feet you HAVE to be on autopilot, and, in most
circumstances, the plane can land itself. What the pilot gets paid
for is knowing what to do if things go wrong, and being able to react
to the problem quickly and accurately.
I know 4 airline pilots, all of them are intelligent people but
without testing there is nothing about them that suggests that they
have high IQ's, they just seem like normal people.

25 minutes or less. Did it on a pit rather than a hoist. Do I need
to explain the advantages of that.
I'd like to know. why would it make a difference?
drive on and get to work. With a pit, you work under, want something
up top, up the steps and go get it and return. Having worked with both
hoists and pits, I quite like the efficiency of well designed pits.
Used them a lot in the truck industry and in mining.

It may take time to position a car on a hoist but after that any
advantage is lost, if you are working under a hoist you can have your
tool trolley right next to you plus you have a lot more room to move, if
you need a hand 2 or more people can easily fit under a hoist but it
would be very cramped in a pit.
The only "advantage" of a pit is that you can install one in a workshop
that has a low roof, apart from that they are a disadvantage.
Also 4 post hoists are drive on same as a pit making a pit even less of
an "advantage".

There is virtually *no* advantage to having a pit these days, which is

one.

No, pits make more sense for a lot of the work that needs doing on a

But, like I said, I used my first 4 post truck hoist in 1973 or 4.

drive on and get to work. With a pit, you work under, want
something up top, up the steps and go get it and return. Having
worked with both hoists and pits, I quite like the efficiency of
well designed pits.

No, pits make more sense for a lot of the work that needs doing on a
truck.
especially if you don't have a truck hoist!
But, like I said, I used my first 4 post truck hoist in 1973 or 4.

There is virtually *no* advantage to having a pit these days, which
is why you'd have to go a very long way to actually finding anyone
who has one.
Yep, drive on 4 post hoists are now very common.

Isn't it weird? I was actually working on cars and trucks in the 70s
and Darren's trying to tell me what went on in workshops back then.
FFS, even the Hydro in my home town used to have a 4 post truck hoist
at the local depot and it was used just for general servicing of the
trucks they used. They had hundreds of trucks of up to 20 tons in my
home district for line maintenance. The Hydro in Tassie is (was?) a
huge undertaking back in the days when it was the HEC.>

Yep. I don't know *anyone* who would want to go anywhere near a pit
these days, even if just for the hassle of having to climb in and out of
the fucking thing whenever you needed to get a different tool.

My 4 post hoist has an air over hydraulic jack at each end, and takes 30 seconds to raise fully. It's a lot faster going down, but it's designed specifically so the operator can vary the lowering speed with the
handle. My two post takes around the same time to raise, but is a lot
slower coming down as the flow control valve is electrically operated at
a fixed rate and can't be varied like the 4 post. It takes around 45
seconds to fully lower, but that's because I set the pressure release to
be that slow as it only has cast alloy locks and I'm not crazy about
having a 4 tonne vehicle on the thing and those locks being slammed into
the catches.
Either way, I would happily raise and lower both of them many times a
day and climb in and out of a bloody pit :)

Steps, not a ladder, at one or both ends.>
I replaced the rear muffler on my Boxster yesterday, first time doing
that job so I was learning what order to do things in so the car was
up and down on the hoist quite a few times, if I had to do that same
job again I would know exactly what to do so it would only need to go
and down once.
My 4 post hoist has an air over hydraulic jack at each end, and takes
30 seconds to raise fully. It's a lot faster going down, but it's
designed specifically so the operator can vary the lowering speed with
the handle. My two post takes around the same time to raise, but is a
lot slower coming down as the flow control valve is electrically
operated at a fixed rate and can't be varied like the 4 post. It takes
around 45 seconds to fully lower, but that's because I set the
pressure release to be that slow as it only has cast alloy locks and
I'm not crazy about having a 4 tonne vehicle on the thing and those
locks being slammed into the catches.
Either way, I would happily raise and lower both of them many times a
day and climb in and out of a bloody pit :)
Walk up steps, no climbing involved.

A 2 post is better if you are doing engine swaps which require lowering
the sub frame or lifting the body off the sub frame, apart from that a 4 post is just as good.

No, pits make more sense for a lot of the work that needs doing on a truck.
But, like I said, I used my first 4 post truck hoist in 1973 or 4. They aren't new, they are more prolific now than they were.
It may take time to position a car on a hoist but after that any

Short answer, yes and, if two people are working on the vehicle, one can continue while the other goes up the steps to do whatever they need to
do. That was how much of the work I did over pits was conducted - team
work. Truck work was typically always team work

If the pit has jacks, no problem - except for working a bit lower down
than would be ideal. These days a scissor lift would suit brake tasks.
Ideal in low roof areas too, cheap to retrofit. Had a couple at the
college, they were brilliant for brake work. Only raised the vehicle to
the required height and no more.

The idea that you have to "custom design" a premises in order to have a
pit is a complete and utter nonsense, and yet *another* example of the

I pit is nothing other than a hole in the ground, and you need no more a "custom design" to install one than you do to install a bloody clothes
line in a back yard. If anything, a 2 post hoist is *far* more of a
custom design as the concrete needs to be specifically laid for it to
meed the minimum loading requirements, which is precisely what I had to
do here.
There is one reason and one reason only why pits are not used for
vehicle maintenance purposes these days or any time in the last 30
years, and that is that compared to a hoist a pit is nothing other than
a useless pain in the arse that makes the average job *more* difficult
not easier, and the fact that they have been virtually abandoned by
everyone in favour of hoists is a testament to that.

There is nothing nonsensical about it,
footing requirements the average hoist manufacturer recommends.
to say, the 100mm thick 25mpa concrete you'd find in the average
workshop is *not* suitable which is why my slab is 150mm thick 32mpa.
It's not difficult, and I never said it was. But it has to be specific
which was the point. You can't just bolt a hoist down to your average concrete slab and expect it to be reliable without knowing if the
concrete meets the specific requirements.

Used them a lot in the truck industry and in mining.

No, pits make more sense for a lot of the work that needs doing on
a truck.
But, like I said, I used my first 4 post truck hoist in 1973 or 4.
They aren't new, they are more prolific now than they were.

Nope, decent pits don't have that issue.
The pit obviously cannot be wider than the distance between the

The only "advantage" of a pit is that you can install one in aExcept when you need to work on top (under the bonnet) at the same

The last time that I saw a pit in use was in the 80s at the Canberra
reggo testing station, it was only used to inspect the underside of
cars, no work was done there.
more expensive than a 2 post hoist.
because, well hoisting a locomotive or train would be an interesting exercise.

There is nothing nonsensical about it, and you're clearly unaware of the footing requirements the average hoist manufacturer recommends. Suffice

It's not difficult, and I never said it was. But it has to be specific

There is no typical water table depth and it can be just below the
surface to hundreds of metres deep. In swampy ground, or areas adjacent
to rivers, the water table can be at ground level or a mere 1 to 3
metres deep. In dry regions it's commonly located 100 to 300 metres
below ground. When you build, you take the water table into account.
Take a city like Bangkok for example. The water table is generally
located between 1.5 and 2.0 metres deep depending on local proximity to
the Chao Phraya River. Due to historical heavy pumping for domestic and industrial use, the deep groundwater table can drop to 30 to 60 meters
below ground level. So, if it were left to its own devices, the water
table in all of Bangkok would not be lower than ~2 metres. For the
record, Bangkok city building foundations are designed around the water table. They can do it with an entire city, a pit in a workshop floor is
a piece of piss

And some truck workshops.
BTW, *locomotives* and train *carriages* are hoisted all the time in
railway workshops except they do that with a gantry crane to remove the
body from the bogies. I guess they are just used to lifting heavy stuff
in the railways. But, hey, the hoist is even being used there;

There is no typical water table depth and it can be just below the
surface to hundreds of metres deep. In swampy ground, or areas
adjacent to rivers, the water table can be at ground level or a mere 1
to 3 metres deep. In dry regions it's commonly located 100 to 300
metres below ground. When you build, you take the water table into
account.
Take a city like Bangkok for example. The water table is generally
located between 1.5 and 2.0 metres deep depending on local proximity
to the Chao Phraya River. Due to historical heavy pumping for domestic
and industrial use, the deep groundwater table can drop to 30 to 60
meters below ground level. So, if it were left to its own devices, the
water table in all of Bangkok would not be lower than ~2 metres. For
the record, Bangkok city building foundations are designed around the
water table. They can do it with an entire city, a pit in a workshop
floor is a piece of piss

The idea that you have to "custom design" a premises in order to
have a pit is a complete and utter nonsense, and yet *another*
example of the ridiculous lengths this moron will go to in order to
justify his own fanciful claims.
I pit is nothing other than a hole in the ground, and you need no
more a "custom design" to install one than you do to install a
bloody clothes line in a back yard.
A whole lot more than a hole in the ground. That is the most
simplistic viewpoint of pits that I have ever seen and displays a
complete lack of understanding of the concept of structural integrity.
What about the structural integrity of the side walls when a heavy
vehicle is placed over the pit? Darren hasn't a clue.>
That's nonsense. Improperly designed pits can easily fill with water.
Indeed they can. In fact, at the Hobart truck dealership, the pits
would fill with water *when the tide came in* if the pumps weren't
turned on. Right at sea level you see.
Also, improper drainage and ground water can make a pit fill up.>
ÿÿIf anything, a 2 post hoist is *far* more of a
custom design as the concrete needs to be specifically laid for it
to meed the minimum loading requirements, which is precisely what I
had to do here.
That's nonsense too. Retrofitting a suitable foundation to support a
2 post hoist into concrete floor that is not suitable is trivially easy. >>>
There is one reason and one reason only why pits are not used for
vehicle maintenance purposes these days or any time in the last 30
years, and that is that compared to a hoist a pit is nothing other
than a useless pain in the arse that makes the average job *more*
A four post ramp type, yes. Just drive on and lift. 2 post, not so much.
Not in the truck industry they haven't. That's where I used pits thedifficult not easier, and the fact that they have been virtually
abandoned by everyone in favour of hoists is a testament to that.
most.>
That I do agree with. Except for very specific applications pits are
simply, well, the pits and I haven't seen one in use for decades. I
had one at one of my old places but I threw a bunch of junk engine
blocks and other engine parts in the hole, pushed leftover sand from
a project into it and concreted it over.

Tomas, you've talked down to people since you appeared as Krypsis,
then when your lies unraveled (you know; walled up iron, working in
the immigration dept and so on, and so on) you used your move to Coffs Harbour as a chance to re-invent yourself as Xeno-lith, and later, as
xeno.ÿ From memory, it took about 3-4 weeks for your lies to become
undone, thus providing even more ammunition to throw at you.
You tried everything, from stealing others work (London smog, and DNA (sprung you good and proper there, didnt i, shit-fer-brains :-D),
which is commonly called plagiarism, to your stupidity applied to
geo-fenced pigeons, cricket bat anatomy, railway accidents, coastal
currents which you bleated you learnt in Geography class in BOTH
primary and secondary school, animal husbandry (AG) which was your
best subject at school (and it shows) yet didnt know what a calf
feeder was, didnt know the difference between a dam and a puddle,
didnt know about tractor hydraulics...
So much other mindless SHIT you have uttered to try and look
knowledgeable on any subject mentioned here, and you just keep making
an absolute fool of yourself. Disappearing cats,
golf is a winter sport, radar phones, cockpit voice recorders...
There's just so much ABSOLUTE SHIT i cant list 1/10th of it here.
You think youre the smart one here? A hint for you, shit-fer-brains:

Just look at the last couple of weeks..., You *have* to tell us that
rabbit needs to go in the slow cooker. Really? Who here didn't know
that? And now your spouting about Victorians voted for the Labor

No, You are fucked in the head big time.

A whole lot more than a hole in the ground. That is the most

integrity. What about the structural integrity of the side walls when
a heavy vehicle is placed over the pit? Darren hasn't a clue.>
That's nonsense. Improperly designed pits can easily fill with water.
Indeed they can. In fact, at the Hobart truck dealership, the pits
would fill with water *when the tide came in* if the pumps weren't
turned on. Right at sea level you see.
Also, improper drainage and ground water can make a pit fill up.>

That's nonsense too. Retrofitting a suitable foundation to support a
2 post hoist into concrete floor that is not suitable is trivially
easy.
There is one reason and one reason only why pits are not used for
vehicle maintenance purposes these days or any time in the last 30
years, and that is that compared to a hoist a pit is nothing other
than a useless pain in the arse that makes the average job *more*
A four post ramp type, yes. Just drive on and lift. 2 post, not so much. >>>
Not in the truck industry they haven't. That's where I used pits thedifficult not easier, and the fact that they have been virtually

That I do agree with. Except for very specific applications pits are
simply, well, the pits and I haven't seen one in use for decades. I
had one at one of my old places but I threw a bunch of junk engine
blocks and other engine parts in the hole, pushed leftover sand from
a project into it and concreted it over.
tend to accumulate in them, sometimes to a dangerous degree.
Ventilation Keith, ever heard of it?

Felix, your memory so bad you cant remember the mindless shit he
dribbled?
Here's the groups resident expert on everything, who actually knows
fuck all.... his ballistics expertise is coming back.. ? The "man"
who thinks kangaroos are not protected.
Tomas: "If you used a 12 gauge, you'd have *disappeared* the whole cat."
(me) if you shoot a cat with a 12g @ say 15 m, it will die a very
quick death, but you'd be lucky to cut it in half, rather than have it "disappear". @30m it'll probably run away. depending what ammo your using....
(i think it's about here you told Tomas the same thing...)
(So Tomas moves the goalposts.. he's good at that...)
Tomas: "The 22-250 is the most ideal for cat sized vermin shooting."
(me) Absolute bullshit from the wannabe know-it-all.ÿ Under 200m, the
Ruger .204 is the perfect calibre for "cat sized vermin". And the
venerable 45 grain .223 is the perfect all-rounder out to max 250m.
Ask me how i know. ?ÿ Over 250m, i'd reach for a .308.
The guy is mentally faulty. I wouldnt let him anywhere near a gun i
own. He's obviously way out of his depth. As every other subject he
tries.
And this from 8 months ago... "Some people in this newsgroup think
they can learn all about this shit from tinkering and Google. I have
news for them and it's all bad." Guess what, Tomas Clasener? No. You.
Tomas Clasener must hate bad news as more arrived today.. :-Dÿ Hey
Tomas: here's an imaginary Chux Superwipe: It wont get all that egg of
your face, but it will make room for more to land :-D
Bwahahahahahahahahahha..
