  1. u sure about that? I'm not, although I guess if it were we woulda shot the protestors not bombarded them with Baby Shark and other nonsense.
  2. Townsons are not just pleasing to the eye
  3. U are probably right Andrew, but running out of beer seems more in Peters style
  4. back to OP, Nevenka did do it in 2005 (I think) but not sure that she finished. I heard they ran out of beer and withdrew, but that may just be malicious gossip. She has done a lotta miles on Peters watch, including RNI, countless SSANZ races, White Island to name a few. Peter still owns her and she lives on N pier at WH I think. He's a good guy, loves a chat and knows Townsons backwards. Nevenka has been in the Mummery family since the first bit of Kauri was cut for her.
  5. Does primus do an actual 'oven' with burners on top? My Mariner Princess needs help but parts are scarce, someone who will work on it even scarcer, so i may have to change it. On top of the changes mooted for LPG supply it seems a forgone conclusion
  6. There was an article on stuff this arvo about a speeding Falcon XY GT at Bathurst (where else) and it lead me to this u tube video. How lucky is the guy at :10 secs in & the driver in the frames after that & generally! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6IiCjypXpI&t=86s&ab_channel=Supercars
  7. FLC I have pm'd u. I'm keen to discuss your prince.
  8. Andrew there is an earlier thread - a crowd in Wellington advertises they will but it may not work out. The list of get out of jail clauses was lengthy. I'll see if I can find the thread
  9. Err, Pete - why? Didn't you just sell the one you had?
  10. Thanks CD. I do like the idea of temp controllable as per the unit u mentioned. Has it got seperate compartments? When my system was working it was on or off, and when on, freezing every bloody thing was only a matter of time. Hopefully Darrin can help.
  11. Slight drift here but in coming months I will be faced with dealing with an out of service compressor driven system. What I mean by that is that as a consequence of a lack of use, I think my system has de-gassed itself, and I guess - this has caused a vacuum effect which has deformed the s/s fridge/freezer box. No cold beersies for me atm So - I need to take stock of the bits I have, determine if they are salvageable, determine what the cost of returning to service would be, and then compare that to the cost of changing to a more 'efficient' system. IT - I recall you saying you are a res
  12. Much respect for this guy, but crikey, Swirly is little. He must be a bit madder than your average mad guy. I suppose its as they say - "its not the size of the dog in the fight..."
  13. as they should. It was a stitch up. The worst of it is if that Hamilton says "f*ck this, I'm out", he'll be labelled a poor loser.
  14. I have to replace my start battery. The experts have u believe its gotta be a 'marine' battery. Seems to me to be another way of extracting more wedge Roughly 100% more. As an example - 57MF 530cca 12v car batt =$133 but double that for a 57MF M, also 530CCA. Seems like mmms must be bloody valuable. Isn't 12v 12v no matter what?
  15. I gotta renew all of my squabs. Any hints on whats good or bad/ where to get it?
  16. No thats ok - thanks for the replyi have all info i need. Cheers
  17. found her on YNZ site - reg # 4995 but no other info. And whaddaya know he did lots of big boats.
  18. Anybody know this boat? I want to know some basic stuff - what is she -I'd guess a Raven (shld never have given up my dream of bein a copper eh) etc. I was told she is a 36 but must admit thought Ravens were max 31' - Mostly I want to know what weight.. cheers
  19. I'd definitely call AT moorings. They are pretty helpful, but you will have to know with certainty which mooring number it is. There are limitations over how long you can own and rent a mooring out to someone else and i know where i live this caused a few harsh words. The situation u allude to is not uncommon and in ATs defence i think they do try to sweep the rats out from time to time. Is it a swing mooring or a fore n aft pile set up? I think that has a huge bearing on your questions - if piles, likely the super shitty owns em and the 'owners' gear is the rope connecting your boat to

    Godwits

    To be fair HT - that was quite clever, when consider all the otherdumbshit mankind does.
  21. Thanks for that link Muzled. 100% - worthwhile.
