The next step was laying the vinyl flooring, which was suprisingly pretty easy. Going for a retro look, we bought 2 x 3m of this checkered vinyl flooring from Bunnings.
At first our plan was to remove the old vinyl flooring to act as a pattern for cutting this one out. However, the new vinyl was very thin, and so we felt that it would not be…[Read more]

Haha, I wouldn’t back poor old Ringo in a drag race right now, that’s for sure. I reckon we do 0 – 100 in about four and a half minutes.

So, we decided we’d attack the interior first, since that’s a little more within my comfort zone. The first step was clearing out all the junk that had been left by several owners, some highlights included some suspicious looking leaf-life remnants in a draw (hey, it could have been oregano) and a 1990s ‘Penthouse’ magazine from the glovebox. I…[Read more]

Hey guys! So some of you may know me as tech support, or Gary (HSV454)’s daughter. Although I’m not quite the car fanatic my Dad is, it’s pretty hard to be be in this family without being exposed to a few petrol fumes, and so I’ve recently acquired my very own project. It’s a bit different than the Senator, but here is my 1977 Toyota Hiace…[Read more]

Georgie started the topic Crappy spammy user in the forum Forum Feedback & Support 8 years, 8 months ago
Hey all
Many of you probably noticed we had a visit from a spammy user yesterday who posted a bunch of posts in Russian (as you do).
Thanks to all those who alerted me to the issue. I have removed the posts and banned the user.
I guess to some extent these posts are inevitable as some will slip through the cracks – to date our antispam filter…[Read more]

Georgie started the topic CP has a new home! in the forum Forum Feedback & Support 8 years, 12 months ago
Further to my post the other day, unfortunately the other host was unable to resolve the problem as conclusively as they’d promised and you make have noticed some issues when traffic was at its peak. As a result, we decided to move our hosting over to a new company. Only the best for our CP members!
The transfer was pretty painless, alt…[Read more]

Georgie started the topic Website outage overnight in the forum Forum Feedback & Support 9 years ago
Hi guys,
Some of you may have noticed that there was some downtime from the forum from about 9.30pm last night.
This was caused by a server problem with our web host, which now seems to have been resolved. They have reassured me that the cause of the issue has been found and it won’t happen again, but I’ll be keeping an eye on things to make…[Read more]

Cheers mate it means a lot to hear positive comments after all the hard work that has gone into it. Already have a spare bonnet I scored from a wrecker a while ago so all that’s left is buying a lower profile filter and the cowl and finding the time to do it all. Swapping back and forth is exactly what I am looking for.
Yeah I wasn’t at…[Read more]

Thanks a lot man! It has been an absolute blast cruising it and getting to know it again. Got down to the first leg of Cruise for Charity over the weekend but pulled the plug early into the cruise down to the Motorplex due to tune related issues and limped it home. Been chasing down the perfect tune in preparation for Powercruise in a few weeks…[Read more]

Cheers guys, ordered some shortened Monroes. Will have to throw up a recent photo now that it’s back on the road. Here is one from the C&C on the 26th. Will put a better one up tomorrow.

Alright so after a Sunday morning cruise yesterday, pulling into the shed and the front left shock dumped all its oil. Think it’s about time I buy a new pair of front shocks considering they are still the originals and I am running King SSL springs now. Obviously I will need to go for a short shock. What’s everyone going for these days in terms of…[Read more]

Hi there
I’ve had a bit of a look for you, it seems like you’ve attempted to upload a few pics that are over the allowed file size for direct uploads. Because of server limits, we can only allow small uploads (<512kb I think) directly, however you are most welcome to use another service like Photobucket or Imgur to upload bigger images.…[Read more] -

Okay, I have deleted the better part of 50 spam users. Honestly I’m not sure how they are getting through because there are 3 different technologies implemented to try to discourage them, so I don’t know if they are bots or what.
Nonetheless I’ll try to keep a closer eye and go back through the list this weekend and do a more thorough…[Read more]

Hi there, sorry somehow this thread slipped past me! I have noticed a few and will go on a blocking spree tonight. However you can also click on ‘report members’ and I will get an email notification to block that person!

Georgie replied to the topic Subscription Notifications in the forum Forum Feedback & Support 9 years, 4 months ago
I think it may only work if the person clicks on ‘reply’ on your post, not just replying to the thread.
This is a pretty big change so might not be an overnight thing, but definitely keen to include it in the next update.

Georgie replied to the topic Subscription Notifications in the forum Forum Feedback & Support 9 years, 4 months ago
Hey guys,
Thanks for letting me know about this. There is a checkbox under the emoticons that says ‘Notify me of follow-up replies via email’ – is this not working for you?
I can look into implementing a feature in the next upgrade which allows you to follow posts without having to reply!
