    Perigrine owned OTR and sold it to Viva, but retained Yasser Shahin to oversee things. Viva also purchased Coles Express but I guess in SA ACCC said no due to market share. hence the change to Caltex

    From the Viva Energy website who are the company that purchased the OTR group off Perigrine "OTR Founder, Mr Yasser Shahin, will be retained by Viva Energy to support the existing OTR Group"

    OTR can suck my chocolate salty balls. The way the Shahin family treat people that are directly employed or work as contractors is deplorable

    What did you do in the shed or garage today

    And if you did weld it then it would need to be painted, then the paint wouldnt match. Seems like quite a good solution.

    Our driveway is the go to for anyone to do a u turn in this part of the street. As we are on the downhill side this usually results in gravel being sprayed everywhere as various vans, utes, trucks and cars try to take off.

    I dont think it would be possible to flush. I would put a used lock-up TC in the same boat as fitting used brake pads but at least you can see how worn the brake pads are. What does the 3month warranty cover, just the TC or the trans that it fills with junk when it fails. Or do you have to...

    The 6l80 TC are known to wear the lookup clutches and block the pickup in the trans. If I had the trans out already a new TC would be a no brainer.

    Had a giant pine tree cut down during the week and access to my backyard is limited so I built a trailer for one of my toys today to make moving the limbs easier. The tree guys left most of the bits at about 2m long and spread out wherever it landed.

    What do we need to wake up to? I know a few anti vaxers that have had covid multiple times. My parents are fully up to date with their covid vax and are yet to catch it. I had my first two shots very early on and none since. I caught covid once a couple of years ago and I think I have it...

    Their customer service refused to accept that they were bound by any ACL warranty so I am going to have to take it further. Person I was dealing with knew of their ACL obligations but refused to do anything about it.

    Just because it is legal to consume doesn't mean there has to be an amount above zero in your system when driving. Alcohol is legal but if you drive a heavy vehicle the limit is zero.
